If I have not heard of or seen the Pacific Ocean, it does not cease to exist. All that Nagesh needs to do is take the trouble to find out.

Post on the > net...but do something ,too.......... * It is time some of us got together and began to work to make this come true.* ..........Miguel Braganza ooooooooooooooooo My thoughts Lets get TOGETHER and make that difference ! For GOA and Goans Globally. ------------------------------------------------ I am in agreement with what Miguel says , there are too many great Goan individuals who have done so very WELL for themselves , their families - NOW , the question we need to ask ourselves - What have we done for our Global Goan Society / Community ? rather what have I done for my Community ? Great Orators we have , great Writers too .... on this net - but very few Doers ! lets STOP the idle talking and walk the talk ,join the thousand of Goans world wide and make the GOANWORLD a better place. Many Goans and Goan Organistions work in isolation , I believe that the time has come for us to work towards Goan unification ,this can only be done when we Support all good Goan projects ! I believe that one such good project is the * Goan International Writers Workshop * A post made by Fred Noronha - of an article by Victor Rangel-Ribeiro : details at http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-news/2004-February/000539.html I wonder , WHY ? - why was it that not ONE of us on the GOA net responded to that post ? why , I wonder ? Yet we complain that Goan Authors are not supported by Goans at large. Are The Goan Associations around the world playing the role they are meant to ? What about the Goan Writers -themselves ? How do they expect Goans and their friends to buy / read their books if they do not get involved ? Lets stop finding faults with others and FOCUS on the good we can do ....get involved............................LETS just do it ! Of late I noticed many postings on the net are becoming more personal , at times abusive and at times... simply childish . There was a time when this was a common occurrence........but I thought we had passed those days but sadly not. We need to remind ourselves that more eveil we write about others , the more we tell the world about ourselves.......I wonder if I am right ? rene barreto http://www.goanvoice.ca/2003/issue11/goa/goaday.htm TOGETHER we can make a difference. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
