One of those debating the issue via the Internet put it thus: "I do hope we are spared the Mickey Mouse stuff (float parades, monkey tricks, snake charming, children's fancy dress, etc) in future episodes of IFFI, assuming Panaji continues as the permanent venue. All this seems to be meant as sops to locals."
