To: The Management Committee of Goanet. Dear Sir, I have been a reader of the exchange of various messages posted on goanet some of them with a pinch of salt. I was disappointed to read some notorious material We are put on earth for good reasons. I am not sure if we really need to clean dirty linen in public. To be frustrated is one thing to share frustration with others is another thing altogether. It would be great to see valuable exchanges rather than use this forum in an unproductive manner. In future if someone wants to reply or write something, write it down in a draft form, sit on it for 24 hours and if one is sure that the prepared message has to go then press the transmit button. If you adopt this procedure you will realize that lot of messages will hit the waste paper basket before it hits the goanet digest. If your heart has reasons which reason does not know then it is your call. But first try the draft. I have been challenged as I am sure others will be - by Mr. Auspicio F. M. Rodrigues soul searching question �Who is a goan�. Again, let�s think carefully before we rush to explain who is a goan. Lets not jump the gun. To me the definition of a Goan is simply: A person born in Goa or overseas through a goan descent, nurtured by parents with cultural values and language. A goan is an hospitable person, sharing and caring without ulterior motives and not ashamed to learn and talk Konkani and keep the cultural torch burning. Oscar C.
