25 July 2010, Selma Carvalho writes: The Gods decided to bless us with one of those rare days in the UK without rain for the launch of my book, Into the Diaspora Wilderness. My thanks to everyone who came and wished me well. Our Goan community is truly warm, loving and united... I apologise we ran out of copies soon after the launch and also for not being able to meet those who arrived a little later in the day. Your kind thoughts are much appreciated in making the effort. The winners of the book competition draw are Romeo D'Mello, Oscar Monteiro and Ivy Nazareth.
