Borem korteleanchea sodanch phattir ieata" There are a few adages in Konkanni that will sum up my views on the subject: "Borem korteleanchea sodanch phattir ieata" and then these will sum my view of the culprits "todde asat je borem khorche-nat ani dusream-khui borem khorunk dinvche-nat" ani "toddeam'cheani borem korteleank pollounk zaina, dolleant thanchea matti poddom". I have not know Gasper Almeida for long, neither have I met him, but we have kept in touch through the electronic media but I have heard a lot about his persona and none of it has been on wrong side of the line. I do envy his grit and enthusiasm to help others without expecting anything in return. We have kept in touch for the last two years and I have a high regard for his ethics and understanding, although he had not known me, he made me feel extremely comfortable and close to him, he rendered me a lot of help and guidance in learning to write in Romi Konkanni, he was the one who gave me the impetus to keep on writing with encouraging words and support. I do admire his humility in his mails and the love he has for Goa, Goans and especially for our Mother Tongue. He is indeed a man of few words and his works speak for themselves. A dedicated man of the caliber of Gasper Almeida should be encouraged and felicitated and not discouraged and humiliated. It is indeed a part and parcel of social work, that one has to suffer ignominy for his dedication and generosity - May truth prevail.
