Letter to Health Officials in Andhra Pradesh

Aug 16th, 2009 | By j m | Category: Featured articles, Talks

Goa, long a magnet for partying hippies, penurious college students and planeloads of foreign pensioners, now wants only “upmarket and responsible family tourists”, the Economic Times has quoted the state church as saying.
In a bid to restore some of the shine lost in the Scarlett Keeling case, the Goa church, which apparently [...]
