George:
I am so glad to know that we agree on much and we are saying the same
thing. Do you think I could have your support to encourage Goan
organizations to promote and publicize Goan-English books at Goa
Sudharop and other G.O.A. and WGD events? Let's have some action.
Gilbert
George:
Some clarifications...
1. I did not know we 'crossed swords'. When two people disagree or work
towards a consensus they are having a discussion. I rarely think "debate" or
even "crossed swords".
2. I wrote in my individual capacity, not as President of Goa Sudharop.
I belong to too many organizations and unless I sign as Chair or President, my
views are my own and should not be viewed as representative of any organization
I belong too.
3. I am not against having Guest Speakers/Chief Guests. Most Goan
functions, including those I organize have them. I was opposed to having Chief
Guests post their speeches in Goan cyberspace as we have enough hot-air and
unabashed self-promotion as it is.
4. You are correct for not taking credit for the idea of having Cheif Guests
since that is an established idea.
Regards,
George
