This project is now over and the book is in-stores at Broadways' Panjim. They say that we Goans are like crabs, always pulling each other down, without an inherent sense of community. This book will prove them wrong. I cannot thank enough, each and everyone of you, who reached out from across the continents to work with me on this project. We are indeed a world-wide community. There were big doors that opened for me in this venture; political families, academics, literary figures, all contributed their stories or wrote in to support me. They didn't have to. They didn't have to give an unknown person like me the time of day. But they did and that overwhelms me. There were humblers doors that opened up too, with insightful stories to share. All of your stories are now held in the pages of this book for future generations of Goans to read and enjoy. At some point, I owe everyone on this list a signed copy of the book. It might take a while given the prohibitive postage charges from London. In the meantime, please do feel free to order the book through my website and please support the Goan writer by forwarding the link to as many friends as you know. The Goan writer needs marketing support. http://selmacarvalho.squarespace.com/ My warmest wishes and thanks to all of you, Selma Carvalho _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969
