Dear señor de Malar, I have been reading with much interest your Goemcheafaideachim articles in the goanet-news.
Thank you for taking the time to write even though the intenet outfits may not be paying writers. Your articles, to be effective, should be read by the authorities concerned. I hope they are published in the Goan press too, to keep the Goans informed of your advice and criticims of the susegadd and nagoupi ministers, which is very important tankam suddrauncheak. For the World Goa Day I had composed a song PROUD TO BE A GOAN at the request of its founder Rene Barreto in the year 2000, and is sung at most Goa Day functions in August. (it may be downloaded from www.goaday.goamog.com/Basilio-Magno.html You will know the old Portuguese saying: Fora de terra, mais patriota. We, Goans overseas, feel proud of Goa as our motherland, but wonder for how long will it be ours before it is totally devoured by the non-Goans, given the tragedy that home-Goans are greedily selling their property to them, not thinking of the future of their own children. Keep up your good journalistic work. May God bless you and our dear Goa. Basilio Magno - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
