Let me tell you Selma, If i had stayed in India i would not have
accomplished even 25% of what i did. Now my wife & child can come and go as
and when they want to. unless they don't return within the 6 months of their
dep. their visa will expire. but then they can still pay a fine of 100dhs
and come. while i cannot in such a situation, as i am on company visa while
my fly is on my sponsorship(visa).
We are making merry on tax free salary:-)
I really feel sorry for those whose luck has run out? but thats no reason to
complain. You either stay and move up or get out. the sytem won't help you
to change, change must come from within...some have even lost their jobs -
cry and move out. while others know how to get new jobs in other emirates.
No place for faint hearted.

Lastly, let me say, it is reassuring that Gulf Goans feel compelled to
defend the Gulf, just as UK Goans defend Britain, Canadian GOans, Canada
and so on. We have managed to muster a certain amount of loyalty to the
countries we reside in. Yet, we are fundamentally Goans, and that in the
end is the essence of being Goan. If you ask a third-generation US-German
to find Germany on the map, they'll be hard-pressed to do so. But for
Goans, there is something in our spirit that remains essentially in
celebration of our ethnicity. Whether that has something to do with
leading our lives in a cultural vacuum or because we have a distinct sense
of our own identity (something FN might deny), is something to ponder on.
Best,
Selma
