It is NOT a MUST, Mr. Eugene Correia. === However, he is a very WRONG person esp when he writes:< For Jose to say that some of us Canadian Goans MUST congratulate Ben on his post ...> Mr. Eugene Correia, Please show me WHERE you found the word MUST in my post. Grateful if you do NOT play the Victor with my posts, and ASSUME anything. Please assign to me ONLY what I say or write, NOT what you ASSUME I may have, could have, would have, possibly implied. I know I am controversial & that I often punch the "buttons" of others. Slam me IF you think I am wrong. I am happy to stand corrected BUT NOT with JUNK! == Mr. Eugene Correia adds Forgive my ignorance, Mr. Eugene Correia, BUT I did NOT know that Mr. Jindal was a Goan? I know that some Jindals owned the META STRIPS disaster zone. IS this guy related to those guys? Even if he was, I would like to put the following queries to a POLITICIAN before I congratulate him as a GOA-netter. 1. Do you support the Death Penalty? 2. Do you support attacking another State without provocation? (I am talking about The Republic of India attacking Goa aka Estado da India Portuguesa.and similar cases thereafter) (;-) 3. What do you say about civilian deaths as a result of Bombing? 4. Do you think that war criminals should be brought to justice before International Courts of Justice? The sardars who raped Goan women in 1961 and thereafter, please stay tuned. 5. Do you agree with the Death Penalty? 6. Do you believe that a woman MUST carry on with a pregnancy where the foetus has Anencephaly (No brain) - even if her OWN life is in danger? 7. Do you believe that a country belongs to ALL its people & as such, the resources should be shared among ALL its people? 8. What is your position of Global Warming? Yes, Mr. Eugene Correia, Until I hear the answers to those questions - from the Parrikars, Jindals and Poppots of this world, I will NOT congratulate ANY politician. Even if he was a Goan. Or else, I'll end up Congratulating all the Narvekars, Parrikars and Faleiros I'd care to even read about. jc please visit "NEW" on The Goan Forum at http://www.colaco.net Recommended Goa related sites 1. http://www.goa-world.com 2. http://www.SuperGoa.com _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Colaco assumes that other Goan writers in Canada and elsewhere have not congratulated Ben Antao, because they have not posted messages to this effect on Goanet. I very humbly suggest that such personal messages of congratulation need not be posted on Goanet. By presuming to make that a requirement, a number of my peers have been unjustly maligned. Ben Antao knows who wrote to him and who didn't. Nobody else is owed an explanation. Best regards, Victor

Recently purchased Lino Leitao's "Gift of the Holy Cross" from Amazon, and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. "Ferry crossing" (Manohar Shetty) is also a good read for the short stories (also available from Amazon, but my copy came from Goa as also "Skin" by Margaret Mascarenhas). So if you're going to Goa this season (and I am sure many of the NRGs are going), make sure to stock up on books by Goan authors available from most good Goan bookstores, besides the sausages, feni and the like.

He has already published his first book "Images of Goa" several years ago. Best of luck and success to you Ben in your new endeavour!> Dear Siliviano, Thank You very much for spreading the Good News. It is always an honour for ALL of us Goans when a fellow Goan is honoured in such a manner. It is NOT always that North American Writers Societies honour an individual whose genetics are from a distant land. All the more, dear Ben - CONGRATULATIONS and well done I intentionally waited a week before writing about this. BUT, I have YET to see ANY other Goan extend his Congratulations on this d-list. What happened to our stalwart Canadian Goans on GoaNet e.g. John D'Souza, Tim D'Mello and Eugene Correia. NOT ONE SINGLE WORD on Goanet. Perhaps they have visited Ben at his home in Toronto to wish him personally. Perhaps they telephoned him up or e-mailed him. Perhaps they have done diddly squat. Did NOT see anything on GoaNews either !?! (if I missed it - do forgive) In any event, I trust that these 4000+ Goans who are members of GoaNet will at least support our Goan brother Ben by purchasing his books. all together, let us see 100 books being bought by GoaNet members. That will be a miracle. And what about the World Goa Day outfit? Renebab? que pasa. Do you too note that we Goans have funds and time for Jamboree, Picnic, BBQ but NOT to support our Goan writers? Let's make it 5 books for the World Goa Day chappies. What a crying shame ! jose We at The Goan Forum will do the needful for one of the founders of TGF's writers sketchpad and d-list. THAT is a promise. please visit "NEW" on The Goan Forum at http://www.colaco.net Recommended Goa related sites 1. http://www.goa-world.com 2. http://www.SuperGoa.com _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
