    Delighted to know the news of awards went to 3 well known KONKANI WRITERS, H.J. Goveas, Nandini and Jerald Pinto. One of my friends came recently from India who gave me to read "HAUN TUKA BOGSUNCHINA" story of Mr. H. J. Goveas. Yes I was totally busy in reading that book, till the end of each story contained. He is really great and deserve to the get the honour. I read few of the stories of the Awardee writer, which were very very wonderful and mind touching.

    I would like to thank and request him to get the addresses of the other stories of him, where I can obtain the same. Also I would like to read of other awardees, books of story and poetry too. I wish all three awardees God blessing and prosperous life. Pratiba, U.S.A.
