Let us put this controversy to rest.  It is apparent that the notion of a day 
to celebrate Goa sprouted up spontaneously in various locales all over the 
world where Goans reside.  We will never resolve the issue of  who was the 
first to start the commemoration of World Goa Day.  But it is to the credit of 
Goans outside of Goa, who pine for the homeland that they once knew, that they 
commemorate a day, not necessarily a fixed date, to celebrate their 
"goanness".Can we just live it at that ?
