------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.casadegoa.org -------------------------------------------------------
Sunith, I read Selma's email about you with a pinch of salt but now I really believe that she is absolutely right. "You espouse such balderdash, charming only because it is balderdash." Selma, how true! BTW, who died and made you the single expert in Goan history? I feel most amused when I read posts from people like yourself that claim that those who oppose their views are ignorant of Goan history. Come on, grow up. I know your name is Velho (which is Portuguese for "old") and I always believe that people become wiser through the years but you are certainly taking too much advantage of your name, aren't you? I do not think you have achieved enough maturity yet to provide an healthy and acceptable argument to Selma's provocative post. So, here is hoping that you may find some maturity whilst reading whatever you are reading at Kings. Otherwise it will be a waste of time and money. Good luck!

Selma provides a perfect example of this chronic ill, by claiming that the Goan Identity can only be debated by her gallery of Portuguese passport holding, aged admirers. ------------------------------------------------------- Goanet recommends, and is proud to be associated with, 'Domnic's Goa' - A nostalgic romp through a bygone era. This book is the perfect gift for any Goan, or anyone wanting to understand Goa. Distributed locally by Broadway, near Caculo Island, Panjim & internationally by OtherIndiaBookStore.Com.
