Sunith,
Even though you are temporarily away from Goa, I can
always count on you to be fair and balanced about what
is going on in Goa. We also see this from Aristo, the
very diplomatic Helga, the more combative Cecil and
Tony Martin, who has recently challenged the
naysayers, and Vivian, who quietly sets an example by
what he does, with minimum fanfare.

This is very helpful to those of us who are
unconditionally supportive of our ancestral homeland,
and wish it well through thick and thin. It also
helps to repel the numerous Goan naysayers, local and
foreign, who diligently look for every picayune fault
in Goa and Goans - and then, to no one's surprise,
make sure they find them.
