Gabe Menezes of Navelim/UK phoned this afternoon, and ... surprise, surprise... I failed to to recognise who was calling! He was (obviously) surprised ;-) Maybe I'm just growing old, or it's that early touch of Alzheimer's. Or perhaps it makes more sense to introduce ourselves by our email addresses ;-) Sorry about that faux pas Gabe! It was wholly unintentional.
Looking forward to meet Gabe sometime soon.
Anyone else coming to Goa in time for a Dec 21 Goanetter's meet-up and contributory lunch at someplace central?
For those who asked, the VM who wrote that article on returning to Goa *is* indeed the very same _VM_ we know on Goanet. He was very active in the early days of Goanet, and got activated again more recently.
In some ways, it's gratifying to see Goanet playing a role, though in a small way, in reversing the once much-debated brain-drain. In VM's (***** *******'s) case, he actually took the step of attempting a re-location to Goa. Here's wishing him well. The first few months can be trying; but once you find your way around the maze, and adjust to the pace of work, it can be fun.
Other old-time Goanetters like Jaime D'Mello -- seem to have lost touch temporarily -- have also said this network helped keep them abrest with what's happening here, and thus make them feel less of 'strangers' when they get back.
Looking forward to more such useful links in the future. It sure could benefit all concerned. FN
