So much so that I have decided to purchase the Book, when I return back to London, from my British Columbia, Canada, home. I work in London, U.K. and commute back and forth once every 5 months, spending 1 month, on each commute with my family who are all based here, in North Delta, BC. It was also a matter of pride to me to know and read a Book written by a fellow Goan. I hail from Benaulim, Salcete, Goa. Keep up the good work and keep the Flag of Goa, flying high. Thanks plus very best regards. Agnelo Fernandes I have read the short version of your Book THE HOLY WARIORS, and found it to be very interesting.
