Goa Goans !
ARE we PROUD to be Goans ? why should we bother about others .....being Goans ? How does that help Goa and its people ? If these discussion are just to pass our time , then - I would encourage you good people to continue to do so. I would like to take this opportunity of sharing with you my thoughts on Goa and Goans -the question I often ask is - If a Goan decides to settle in Kerala or Maharastra - does he call himself / herself a Kearalite or Maharastrian ? and why does he refrain from doing so ? I believe that one needs to be PROUD of what one is born into - and one needs to make the best of the situtation we are put into ... enjoy the good and help to overcome the bad. - BE HAPPY ! Having said that , may I remind you good GOANS wherever you may be - that WE - GOAN ORGANISATIONS world wide - have set a side a day - the 20th of August 2005 - a day to celebrate BEING a Goan,our Goan Cultural Heritage , Our Goan History ...in short all things Goan... you too have a choice , you can also JOIN us !
