When I turned fourteen, I knew that I was a person in my own right quite apart
from my parents. I knew from there on, I would have to chart my own course and
I had a very strong sense of my own destiny. I suspect Goanet has had to
undergo the same process of maturation in the last year. Whatever its original
purpose and intent was, it now charts its own destiny.
I couldn't let the day pass without wishing Goanet, many more purpose-driven
years. I'm one of those people who is deeply grateful to Goanet. From the
wonderful encouraging emails I get in my mail-box, to the friends I've made and
met in real life, to the opportunities I've been presented with through
friendships formed here in cybersphere. I can quite honestly say, I've had the
good fortune never to meet a Goan crab, and always chance upon some helpful
Goan soul who lifts me up.
