Hello Allan,
nice to know you but just want to clarify a point - regarding our motherland
U are right Goans who chose to settle down in Goa did it to protect our
ancestral land !
Because our land is out for grabs,
SO LETS UNITE AND STOP PULLING EACH OTHER DOWN LIKE CRABS !!
Best Wishes for Xmas to you,
Cheers

of yourself and your brother for the way both of you handled the whole thing.
If you have any more doubt about who has narrow minded mentality, please read
Fr. Nascimento's email once again. Kevin was trying to please Fr. Nasciment at
everybody else's cost. This lesson should wake people up not to believe
everything they hear.
Quentin, please don't confuse your intentions to leave Goa with mine. You may
have left India to bear the fruits of others labour (as you say in your email).
But I, like every one else, left to make more money and to enjoy a better life
style. The reason people you talk about are still in Goa is because they chose
to stay back or are forced to stay back for some reason or the other and are
not there because they love their mother land.
Alan Fernandes
