Mervyn,
Regarding your comments on Mr. Eduardo Faleiro, I think you are
being naive if you expect any concrete action on his part as NRI
Commisioner to help overseas goans..........our goan politicians ( like
their counterparts from the Congress party under the petticoat of
Sonia Gandhi in Delhi ) are very good in pontificating and
prevaricariting while they enjoy the high-flying life as tabulated
by Lionel Messias for as long as they can extract money from
their mining cohorts to overlook the illegal activities of these
concerns. All these b********s can do is sell their mothers and goa
to highest bidders from North India.

Every person I talk too tells me that Faleiro is arrogant. I got the same
impression too when I met him.
Hi Mervyn, Are you sure this doesn't have something to do with the
his-friends-are-not-my-friends logic that sometimes (often?) strikes
the discourse in Goa? FN
FN,
Fortunately, Faleiro is of as much interest to me as the Foreign
Minister of Tanzania will be to you.
I first heard of Faleiro on Goanet.
Someone posted that he organized an "International Goans Convention" in Goa.
At this convention, he threw out of the convention hall some of the
delegates
who had come from overseas. He then went on to arrest a local delegate.
I found that interesting.
The second time I heard of Faleiro was when the NRI office made a blunder
in the description of awards being handed out. I wrote to the NRI office
pointing
out the blunder. Someone from the NRI office wrote back, using Falriro's
email
address, insisting that they could not be wrong.
I have few, if any, friends who have heard of, let alone who are interested
in
Faleiro.
The only time his name comes up is when I am with people who are a
generation
older than me and who still have links to Goa. They return from visits to
Goa
with
horrible experiences in dealing with issues such as legal documents,
property,
etc.
These people claim that neither Faleiro nor the NRI office are of any help.
