THE WARTS OF GOA
Goa

I agree with some of the things you said. I don't know about stats so I can't say if Indians or foreigners bring more tourism revenue to Goa. But I do know that every tourist should be made to feel welcome, no matter where they're from. If it's a matter of Indians troubling foreigners, wel...l, that's what happens in Goa. The foreigners are mostly O.K, but Indian tourists can be real pests. But this doesn't mean we can kick them out altogether. I know that Goan locals may feel protective about foreign tourists and it can sometimes lead to racism. We all know about parties where Indians pay an entry fee and foreigners get in free. This is just one instance of Goans practicing racism to maintain a friendly atmosphere for foreigners. And who knows what would happen if they didn't do something like that. Have you ever been to a dance where Indians outnumber foreigners. A group of rowdy Indian men will automatically encircle a foreign girl, victimising her. The problem I have is this. Is it O.K to practise racism to keep the tourist air alive and generalise all Indian tourists as creeps. No, it's not. So what's the alternative? Ask foreigners to get used to leering Indian tourists. If anyone has an answer I'd like to hear it. DanielRead More

Really Out There

I think you have to be an American to enjoy this film. I say that because it deals with a topic like finding yourself and yet didn't appeal to me very much but the viewers at IMDB really seem to love it. To be perfectly honest, I found it a bit boring. Okay, it's about a little family that li...Read more

State of Fear - Michael Crichton

Thanks a lot Pras. If I'm not mistaken I think you've written a review about state of fear yourself. I would like to draw the other readers attention to one section of your review i.e when you question Crichtons inclusion of a sociology proffessors rant towards the end of the book. I agree with... you completely. It did seem a bit irrelevant and that's one of the few questions I'd like to put to Michael Crighton. DanielRead More

My Thoughts On Terrorism
War on Iraq: Case For 'Yes'

Leah, you first wrote your article over a year ago. And people are still writing in! Amazing! You got so many people to express their views. That's an achievement. All I want to say is I do'nt see any justification in the war even today. Innocent people are dying everyday. As a christian, I do'nt... think violence is an option I could ever consider, even if it is a means to an end. There were other options DanielRead More
