I am so humbled by Dan Driscoll's kind words. I hope Dan Driscoll's stay in Goa
is a long one and he has many more readings with that wonderful orators voice
he
carries with a Grecian grace.
Infact I am so humbled by everyone's kindness. I am amazed at how our
world-wide
community reached out from Goa, to the Gulf to Canada to help. It was the
Goans
in Goa that championed a book about the Diaspora the most which goes to show,
you can travel as far as the sea will take you but Goa will be waiting to
envelop you in its warmth when you return.
I think the founding of Goa, 1556 will be a pivotal point in our history when
we
look back, just as the arrival of the printing press had been in 1556. It
has given Goan authors a voice and a platform. Goa needs the quiet revolutions
of the mind just as it needs those of the spirit and the body.
Best,
Selma
