QUOTE OF THE DAY
--------------------------------------------------------------
Goa needs a CEO. I had mentioned a few years back that Goa is
a beautiful place, and if you have a good CEO, he can make it
like you mentioned.... Now, Mr Babush Monserrate fits into
this calibre, which he proved with the Corporation of the
City of Panjim elections. He got a 2/3rd majority. I am sure
he will shape up the state of Goa. As you see, he has all the
tools to make Goa the finest state in India and a showpiece
to South East Asia. -- S V Balaram, part of prominent hotel
groups, in Betalbatim (writing in GT)
