BRILLIANT, INNOVATIVE
The creators of TGG merit accolades. The Saturday page is a brilliant innovative initiative that showcases the varied achievements of our 'brethren' on foreign soil – the world over – that triggers a nostalgic nerve for those who have chosen a new motherland.
The artistic and professional presentation of the page covering the Goan diaspora's social, political, academic and cultural ventures makes for interesting reading and adds to the increasing popularity of the Goan. May you celebrate several more anniversaries.
