From: Oscar Lobo
Dear Goan Brothers & Sisters (Goans married to Goans and Goans
married to Non-Goans/partners)
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 - OUR ATTITUDE IS OUR ALTITUDE!
I am addressing this e-mail to you both as Together we can make a
difference in retaining what is left of our homeland – Goa. Together we
need to “Ring out the darkness of the land” – Alfred Tennyson
As the curtain of the year 2010 comes to a close in the next 60
hours (depending in the country we live in), it is that time to reflect
not only the saying “RING OUT THE OLD, RING IN THE NEW”, (Alfred
Tennyson) but an action of self reckoning and asking repeatedly; what
have we done in 2010 to give back to Goa. Have we done our bit and have
our partners been there to support our bit or have we forgotten because
of “out of sight is out of mind” . Our parents and forefathers must be
rolling in their graves to see us allowing the sale and rape of Goa. The
saying “Each one for himself and God for all” has no place at this hour
of need. Goa does not belong to those who are Weak, Selfish and Unsecured.
