hi all.....i agree with all of u regarding the "goat"....i mean things would have been a lot better if there was no blood.....:)..... but one thing i dont understand, and quite disagree, with the most of u is that, why u feel ashamed and and so sick of it??? i mean, its been there since ages, from our forefathers time....its just the culture.....we always talk about "dahsain ma khasi ko masu ra bhat khana katti maja hunchha"...and think of all the whoppers as well..etc....but have u ever thought about the "khasi" that gets sacrificed??? if u think that its unfair, "arko barsa khasi ko masu khada chai ali bichar garidinu hola"...if you dont like barbarism and blood, then u should be a vegetarian....."kan sidhai samaye pani, ghumayera samae pani autai ta ho ni, haina??? ki kaso????....no hard feelings hai.....just my opinion.... rock on... busy bee
