Hi Gilbert I don't know how on earth the Toronto Goan Convention team managed to get so many welcome photographs and even one of me well before I knew a thing about the Convention. However, I am not complaining. It really illustrates initiative even though I was pained not to see your mug shot. Perhaps we will see it soon. As an experienced organiser of international conferences in London, I have every confidence that the managing team for this Goan Convention in Toronto will generate an outstanding one by organising an excellent agenda/programme and I wish them well. I do note that, you particularly identified caution on the themes of religion and caste and I just wondered why--- but I am not really looking for an explanation. Cornel

A look at the very well-designed web link provides some tentative information. It is nice, to see the beautiful and handsome faces of some Goanetters. It now allows to put a face to a name (of the goanet posts) and provides further disclosure. Yet some have tried to be incognito.
