Hi Cecil, Rene n all Goankars, To all kinds of criticism from all sorts of people, regarding Goa, my only response as always is, I am proud to be Goan, from my own state of Goa and we do have our own official state language...so....y waste yr time arguing over nonsense?
I know Cecil, Rene n others r doing their best, in their own way to keep our traditions n culture alive the world over. So......lets move forward with pride and our heads held highas always. God bless each n everyone of u Goans, in Goa and throughout the world, for the amazing work you do. =========================================== Message: 7 Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 09:50:45 +0530 From: Cecil Pinto To: [email protected] Subject: [Goanet] A Letter To The Bleddy Goans... Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Rajesh Dessai obviously did not get the point of my response to Godfrey's article. I am not about to educate Rajesh but just let it be said that if I had decided on a 'tit for tat' response Godfrey and the East Indians would be laughing stock for a long time. But what would that achieve? Many of the points Godfrey raised are very valid. I did not shoot the messenger. I questioned his credentials to criticise and his methods. Rajesh goes further to say "I have just one question to ask Cecil: What have you done to save Goa?" Interesting question. I agree that I haven't done much to save Goa. But I live a pretty 'open' life and speak my mind when required against forces that are determined to destroy various aspects of our Goa. Most everyone knows who I am, where I come from, and what I am about. But agreed there's precious little that I actually do to save Goa. Now your turn Rajesh, since you asked the question. Who are you, and what have you done to save Goa? Cheers! Cecil
