PASS IT ON... Hi there!
I am fascinated to learn about the wealth of writers, authors, poets, historians and scholars we have among us Goans; and the availability and choice of books to read and enjoy. Somehow, this rare activity has never been a part of Goans in Pakistan - more so in Karachi where most of them lived/ live. We just dont have anything to pick-up and read, sad but true. Goans here have been aptly referred to as the "Lost Tribe of Goa" in one of the recent news reports I came across in a Goa (or Mumbai?) newspaper. WE need to be found! I think its time to make a start, better late than never! The Karachi Goan Association (KGA) has a library full of books but none on Goa! I will speak with Vally Gonsalves, the current President and maybe together we could start building on a collection. Anyone interested in 'donating' a BOOK on Goa to "The Goa Library of Pakistan" please write to me at [email protected] - all donations (books) would be gratefully acknowledged. Thanks Regards Menin Rodrigues www.goansofpakistan.org
