So what's your point, Preetam? Why rib Philip Thomas? In my
view, he does a damn fine job of keeping us abrest with
airport issues and Dabolim/Mopa. Someone who has an open mind
to face up to different aspects of reality -- there are many
shades of grey -- needs to be appreciated, not ridiculed.
God bless you Churchill long life n Good health to
you, you are only one strong man of Goa.
