Dear FN, I do not understand why you want to waste your time in futile discussion on the motive of a person (neither of us knew personally) for doing a certain thing or behaving in a certain way. Does it really matter today? You had asked: <<Could you enlighten us on why Goembab started by writing in Romi Konkani and then shifted to Devanagari? Just curious... FN>> Assuming that your curiosity is genuine, I directed you to a book which contains an answer to your query. I do not know whether R.N. Naik obtained the information directly from Goembab or from someone else in whom Goembab had confided it. For all I care, it could as well have been RNN's guesswork. In such circumstances, what sort of discussion could we have, to what purpose? Please use your time in more productive pursuits. I have no time to spare for pointless discussions. Regards, Sebastian Borges
