Dear Mario, I have my good and valid reasons for saying what I have said in my below referenced post.
And I can defend myself up-front in the face of any and/or all challenges w.r.t. the same from anyone including the names of the persons I have mentioned. I do my homework well when I go public. However, let me come on record here to say that I am not anyones ENEMY. Coming to the re-organizational set-up of the NRI/Global Goans, I do not see any such role for me to play. It is,afterall a self-looking after sort of organization which can be organized and floated very easily. But as Miguel Brazanza has said, the joint initiative is a must. What better than the already established GOAN NRI ASSOCIATION which already has a web-site in www.goa500.com? . I have personally taken interest in this website and I can see it emerging slowly but steadily, though it could be better managed. And I feel that the existing representative of the NRIs whom they have appointed themselves should be given a chance to prove himself within his mandated time period of one year. For a change his efforts must be appreciated with a small pat on the back. As for me, I am heading a much much bigger organization which has the task of reforming the political scene of Goa. And believe you me that it is a daunting task of changing the mind-set of the people of Goa who have generally lost faith in politics which affects their everyday lives and leave it to the hyenas to run away with everything they have. What is required here is much much more commitment than just self-help commitment. I am sure you understand this. However, I shall always remain a watch-dog as far as NRI/NRG movement is concerned to see the direction it is taking. We want it moving in the direction of breeching the wide gap between Goan NRIs that is existing and coming closer to a mythical UNITY. Afterall, Goan NRIs and NRGs is a very important component in the scheme of things designed by GOASURAJ for GOA. I fully appreciate your thinking but I must say Thank you, but NO.
