OK, Goa isn't an Island. The Goan authorities are training 100 lifeguards (about 40 are female) to patrol the beaches of Goa. These lifeguards will hopefully go a long way to preventing the dozens of drowning that occur each monsoon season to (normally) Indians taking a break in Goa. --------------------- Regarding these 100 lifeguards........ Will the quota system be used for hiring? We need to see that the Scheduled castes are fairly represented and what about the visually impaired?  |

Swimming costumes? If I have to be rescued I want the female rescuer to be properly dressed in a sari...

Indian woman can do anything in a sari.
But perhaps the ones who live on "islands" are not so in touch! |

This guy should be one of the lifesavers.

As a side issue they could always start a wet sari contest ,it could bring in extra revenue witch could help finance the lifeguards !
