Yes, as Goans, we need to seriously learn to behave more like civilised human beings, stop allowing some communal politicians to hijack our respective festivals for political gains, start celebrating our festivals in a more dignified manner and try to maintain their uniqueness cum beauty for our future generations in Goa.
