RESPONSE: Sure, Cornel......I expected to hear from that quarter. You
would
like us to take into consideration objections from agnostics and
atheists -
sincere and otherwise at the expense of of believers in a God ?? Ignore
them ?? Give them the short-end ?? Is it so difficult to say Thank you in
our
own language to end an email message?? Does it give some acute heart-burn
??
Like this discussion appears to have.
Why make this a religious issue - I guess only agnostics and atheists
could ??
As a Goan, tell me how do we say Thank you, Good morning, Good night, etc
in
Konkani.
On a similar ntoe, what do we say to George Pinto, who earlier today
forwarded
the petition for Romi KONKNNI......."uh-oh....sorry George, we can't have
any
of it....there will be OBJECTIONS from those that support the Devnagiri
script ??"
If we profess so much love for Goa and our identity, etc.....and all the
blah-
blah that we make.....lets walk the talk....in small steps....discreetly
and
otherwise. In no way am I taking on an angelic love of Goa, Konkani and my
roots. I have my own shortcomings to deal with.
And with that......Dev Bori Raat Diu !!
Best - Bosco
