Ask not what a (liberated) Goa can do for you. Ask what you can do for Goa.(Modified from John F Kennedy's Presidential inauguration speech) Suggestions: Actively work to throw out the corrupt politicians that Goans keep electing.(I will actively be working for the (USA) Presidential candidate who is least likely to take us to war). Participate in the representative government with more volunteer work and less speeches and writings. Grow 6 fruit trees in your compound. Your children will not have to complain about the lack-of and high cost of native fruits (because the best Goan fruits are exported). Start some volunteer groups like Diabetes Association or Goa Cancer Society. BE THE CHANGE ONE IS SEEKING! I had the pleasure of watching the newly started daily double-decker Goa-Mumbai train. I remember 20 years ago making the same trip fighting to get into the train at Margoa and to my reserved seat; with my family and luggage. And of course 60 years ago it was even more difficult with train, bus, boat. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Regards, GL
