Dear Basilio,
A thoughtful post. I would also like to add the
Gandhian tenet that one cannot elicit the truth by

Gilbert,
It appears that you have still not understood the
meaning of atheism. Please look it up in a good
English dictionary. If you want to know my views about
religious issues please look them up in the Goanet and
Goa-Goans Yahoogroup archives. Did you understand

Dear Gilbert,

Dear all,
First of all ... a big Xabash to the organisers of ViVA Goa 2006. It must
have taken a humongous effort to put this one together. You guys did well
and did it magnificently. It was good to see a ton of Goans in Toronto,
despite the sweltering heat, coming together to have a gracious

Dear Joseph,
Thank you for your well appreciated comments.
You must remember that Floriano & Co. who have floated this party , with
internet exposure, sport a very open mind.
