Early Bird Discount Registration closes March 31, 2008 http://www.2008goanconvention.com/regform_print.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Bosco, Let me say a qualified YES to your question. I have 3 UP guys on monthly basis drawing Rs. 250/150/150 per day for 26 days in a month. I have Kanadigas working on my construction project in respect of masonry/shuttering is concerned. My tile setter is a Rajasthani. Fortunately, my driver (Rs. 3000/pm) my plumber, water supplier, aggregate/sand suppliers are Goan. These too are fast vanishing from terra firma.
