    Congratulations and best wishes to all the recipients of the Konkany Honorary Awards.

    It was nice to hear that Shriman Harry D'Sousa was one of the prestigious winners of the Award. We know Harry D'Souza long long time ago in Mungalooru. We would be happy to meet with him and see him whenever future opportunity permits during our frequent visits to India.

    Because of the fact that we care for our beloved community and our beloved country after more than 56 years of leaving "Maathrabhoomy, we have so much treasure of friends and so much pleasure of friends to be proud of. We have a thought for them, and we have a prayer for them as well.

    Its nice to keep in touch with our home, our friends and our neighbours, old or young, who are the gifts of life for us. God bless us all.
