You provided a service to Goans by giving us the story behind the story and a

I wanted to write this fourth and final part before I left Toronto for an
outing, but time did not permit me to do so. I reserved the best part for the
last. I have read that some netters have pointed out that I have only written
about the negatives. Read my previous post and I have said that

I completely agree with George's observation. It is particularly paradoxical to
note how Eugene Correia complains about the absence of younger generations at

I am disappointed by your Notes from the Goan Convention posts. They are
vinegar posts. So much hard work, goodwill, positive accomplishments all from
very fine people in the Toronto Goan community and you have overlooked that,
