    I was filled with great immense to hear the announcement of Konkani academy book awards to the two great polular writers. I'm regularly reading Mr. H. J. Goveas' srories. Recently published his short stories book "Haun Tuka Bogsunchina" was a top hit and each story was wonderful, which reminds his tallent of writings in dreams too.

    He is just one of the best, great and memorable among the top Konkani writers. His last year published book "April 22" also was top hit. He has millions of his own fans. I wish him very success and many more awards in his near future literature work. About Dr. Gerald Pinto, I havn't read much about him, yet I wish him too very good future in Konkani writings.
