Bravo Tino. There are people who babble because they cannot think of
anything worthwhile to do and want to be noticed. Let it not be forgotten
that Goans had to leave Goa for want of opportunity in Goa and wherever they
pegged their tents, they contributed and left a noticeable mark. It is
undoubted and undeniable that those who remained in Goa, many secured here
by their ancestral provenances, have also created an indelible presence and
mark that they passed this way too in this world. But those who had to go to
other places in search of bread, if not butter, did well for themselves and
left blazing trails. And many are coming back, like frogs to their pond or
salmon to their spot of birth, when their out-of-Goa odyssey is successfully
done. I am one of those. There is also a reason why I do not and cannot live
in my ancestral house but then, that is no one else's concern but mine.
