In my darker hours I despair of India ever seeing the light of brotherhood and yet when I look at my own family I know there is hope. I come from the heartland of Goan Catholicism. Growing up I don't think my parents ever knew or mixed with anyone who wasn't Goan or Catholic. Yet today, our family has happily embraced Keralites, Tamilians, Hindus, Latinos, Brits and French into the fold. One more Keralite is scheduled to join this wedding season!:-). So even as I despair sometimes, India and Goa march on thanks to those other two primal instincts in mankind - economics and love. selma ____________________________________________________________________________________ It's here!
