Phew!! Had to finally get myself into contributing my wee bit into this wonderful and interesting site that I have been monitoring since some months now. Though I have been just a silent spectator to the Views / Opinions / Articles sent in by the regular active netters , including the net-bashing that goes on - I really enjoy them with a good laugh - I must point out that as long as there exists no serious ill-feelings harboured towards each other , the SHOW must go on. And What?? I've suddenly realized to my amazement , that I've inadvertently become a kind of addict to the postings, most of which keep me in good stead for the day - especially when I'm feeling down. Kudos! to Fred for his invaluable contributions. Keep it up Fred - God Bless You! If I had to face just half the criticism that you have to deal with, I'd given up decades ago. You are a role model to others, especially for the way you react to adversities and criticisms that are hurled across by some intellectuals, which I feel can be put across more politely and seem less menacing. To them, All I can say from my personal experience is "that it is all very well for all our very 'Well-Off" Goan brethren on those foreign first-world shores to criticise and condemn their less fortunate Goemcars ( for wont of a better term) in Goa. Living here on a regular basis would be more like it , and that would probably make them eat their words and swallow their false sense of pride." Finally! I would like to personally thank Yvonne vaz - the "raison d'etre" that I was motivated to write these few lines - for the most valuable comprehensive and concise posting of 'Careers & Choices' for which I now feel very much armed and prepared to tackle my daughters career (Of Course, with her approval) when she finishes high school next academic year. She is sure going to be enlightened on reading this when I get back home in about a month. I've already forwarded the same to some of my friends who are parents of children about to finish school in the coming year or next. They are going to be glad too. Thank You Yvonne once again. May your tribe keep growing. And finally, just a query for you "Oh! so intelligent Guys" out there. Would it be possible for me to change my goacom.com address to sancharnet.in by accessing the telecom www site via the internet instead of direct dialing??? . The last time I attempted to change my password from here vai the net , things went awry and I was unable to access my account till I reached home and had it rectified. Would appreciate your assistance. Cheers! & Viva! La Goa. Vernon
