WE OWE IT TO OUR GOA
We can only blame ourselves for the sad direction in which Goa has been drifting and now reached a point of no return. Our silence is allowing those in Power to use their brute majority to bulldoze their vicious plans which are fundamentally against Goa and Goans. It is pertinent that we stand up to […]

MEMORIES THAT ADD TO MY RESOLVE
Today I recall that 13th October 2008 grievous attack on me at Ashok Restaurant behind Panaji Post Office, which was masterminded by that notorious Silly Soul from Taleigao, ironically on a day blessed by the apparition of Our Lady of Fatima. 14 years down the road, those memories add to my resolve, for nothing has […]
