Dear Rene

If I recall correctly you had send a message from Anthony Dennis re St.
Pauls. I retained his mail ID but deleted your message. The ID does not
appear to be correct. My interest in the matter is that I have some old St.
Paul photographs and wanted to know if Anthony/Dennis wants them. Will you
do the needful.

Regards……..Fausto

To the best of my knowledge, Fr Cedric Prakash is "originally" from 
Mangalore and he studied at St
Mary's, Byculla, Bombay. The Archbishop is a "home-grown" Ahmedabad guy.

In Ahmedabad, Gujarat, there were masses in English, Konkani, Malyalam(?sp)
and Gujarati.
In Bombay you have masses in Marathi, English and Konkani aand possibly in
othe laanguaages. And Betim is NOT
the only parish in Goa which does not have an English mass, there are many
more including Se Cathedral, the Bishop's parish.

Dear Dr. Gomes
Please note that your well water could also contain pesticides! It isn't
that the beverage makers add pesticides or whatever. It just happens that
the ground water is contaminated, more in some areas, less in others. I am
certain that the Coke manufactured in Goa (Verna) will contain much lower
levels than the national average, if at all!!

The statement that the "conclusions seem to be non biased and scientifically
sound" is debatable!

Please do not change your opinion of IITs. They are wonderful institutions.
The IIMs and IIT impart the best education, but they do not guarantee to
change boys into thinking men (as one of the founder profs of IIMA was fond
of saying), nor to...never mind. It could be the weather in Florida!
