Happy New Year 2018 Midnight 31 December is usually one of the most celebrated occasions in the world. This year wil be 18 years since the start of the millennium and a new society for 18yr old Goan adults and the age of consent on our Planet Earth.
Will this generation born outside Goa and the Goan community abroad ever know the value of family structure , Certainly in England I have observed their cross eyed and cross nosed Goan parents shun Goa and our community in preference to the mongrel or Chotara society around us scavenging for money feeling elevated and upgraded by fundraising events and Raffles in the name of Charity and community development when in actual fact its hand in pocket with no regulatory body to oversee these rich pickings from our proud Goan community that is nourished dance after dance. What has been achieved over the years may I ask? There is no right or wrong answer. Usually, this day is celebrated with close friends and family. But not everyone is fortunate enough to have their loved ones around. It is with compliments that 2018 will be brighter and peaceful than the one passed celebrating your Birthdate Anniversaries with good health and happiness to one and all.
