CONGRATULATIONS GOANS..... At last we have awoken to the mess created to our
beautiful Goa by the GREEDY , SENSELESS people out to make a living at the cost
of the innocent lives of us GOANS !!!! .
I pray and hope that we continue to be VIGIL and do not go back to our SIESTA
and realize that GOA will loose its beauty and fame at the hands of these
greedy people.
We pray that no more hills and trees are destroyed to convert our GOA to a
CONCRETE JUNGLE....
