Dear Fellow Netters, I have read the postings with keen interest. I have been leaving in Kuwait since 1976 and earning my daily bread. I am indeed a proud Goan and yet to see anyone superior to our fellow Goans barring a handful. We are nearly 50,000 odd Goans living here and earning their daily bread just as I do. I have also very close association with other Indian communities besides other nationalities. I dont find them any better than my fellow Goans. Yes in every community there are a handful of people who out of jealosy or the reasons best known to them come up with fabricated stories to put down fellow humans. These characters time and again proved that they cannot talk the talk and walk the walk. I have yet to see their good deeds or actions. Going through the net I can well judge for myself who is who and I do strongly believe that what the heart feels the tongue reveals. The genuine characters are judged the way they walk, the way they talk and the way they write. There are lots who are wanting to do good and help but do not want to come forward openly with the fear of backlash/unhealthy criticism from these handful of characters who portray themselves as reknowed journalist, social workers etc etc. In my close association with fellow Goans, apart from other communities, I have come accross many wanting to help the down throdden with open arms but refuse to come forward to avoid dirty and filty criticism from these handful anti social elements. In fact, in Kuwait all know who is who being a small world and close neat society. They say truth and thruth alone can never lie hidden. We can fool some people sometimes but not all the people all the time. I have seen these few handful characters pose themselves as businessman, managers, captains etc but the ground reality is well known. One can compare them to kitten that close their eyes when they drink the mothers milk thinking that the whole world is gone to sleep. The truth is that they cannot rise and shine but make all the attempts to put down those who graciously do. It does not matter to what or where we belong but what matters each one needs to work hard for own better tomorrow and earn laurels for our beloved land. I have seen Goans going out of their way to help those in need as such I find no reason to believe why we should take the example of Keralites. One needs to live in that community to know their problems better. In conclusion I would like to say that we Goans are second to none and no other Community is above us. I had the prilledge to work with various nationalities apart from other Indian Communities. Let us be proud of our rich cultural, social heritage and let us work together keeping aside the handful who try their best to destroy those who work with sincerety and dedication besides helping out fellow Goans contributing to the cause and welfare of Goa and Goans. I do personally get added energy the moment these particular shameful elements of ill repute in Kuwait ever criticise. There are lots of fellow Goans to admire/appreciate quietly and genuinely the good and noble works done by fellow sons of the soil. It is only through the courage and determination once can achieve. Long live Goa and Goans Wilson Coelho

If anyone of the Keralite is unemployed, Hundreds of Keralites will start searching job for their fellow Keralite. No matter how much he/she is qualified, they Respect their Mother Tongue and they will speak in their Mother Tongue (Malayalam) with their fellow Keralites. No matter how far the shop is and how much expensive is the product, but they will visit their fellow Keralite Shop in Solidarity. In their Kerala State, their Mother Tongue "MALAYALAM" has very much Respect and no other language can come before their Mother Tongue. Kerala People don't believe in Communalism, but they believe in Unity.
