Thank you JC for your comments. I am under the impression that the NRI Office in Goa gives a substantial amount of money to the host country Goan organisation; therefore, the NRI Commissioner is a co-host of the convention. As far as the speed with which one can travel anywhere, it depends on the urgency of the matter and the enthusiasm of the traveller. It has taken me a whole of 24 hrs to pack my bags and be in another country. Best Celina Pereira
