Dr.Gilbert, Good that like-minded people meet at every step. I did not have access to OUTLOOK EXPRESS, so I could not enjoy the contributions of Goanetters. I hope that Manohar Parrikar will change the face of BJP and of Goa. Let us see how he solves the delicate problem of grants to konkani, marathi ani english schools... Goodc luck! Fr.Ivo da C.Souza
