Happy feast to all!
This is one more event for Goans to rock, sake and dance. In the light of present Goa's scenario the words (What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet loses his soul?) of Inacio de Loyola which echoed time and again in the ears of St. Fransis Xavier which made him change his way of thinking and life, holds more relevance now then ever before. We celebrate this feast with great solemnity are't we? But do these words have any relevance in our lives? In the current socio-eco-political settings of Goa and Goan, I have this question to ask fellow Goans. What good will it be for a Goans if we gain the whole world (wealth, fame, foreign citizenship etc), yet loses our soul (Goa)? Let us take a pause and think if we can change our outlook for the sake of Goa and Gaon cause rather than just rock, sake and dance at every occasion. Cheers! Agnelo Pinheiro
