and Goa, 1556 on the publication of the book Patriotism in Action. Not only is Valmiki a prolific, insightful and long-established writer with a style that flows as easily as his humour, but he is also genuinely a nice person. A conversation with Valmiki can keep you enthralled for hours and flits seamlessly between historical tidbits about Bernado Peres da Silva to landmarks in Margao.
I look forward to reading the book - a valuable addition to chronicling the Goan contribution. Warm regards, Selma
