Subject: KEEP IT UP KRANTI!
Dear A. Veronica,
I would like to congratulate you for having published some bold blogs in your forum. It takes a lot of courage to do so. You may have been subjected to a lot of pressure my some elements to drop the hard-hitting pieces. Keep up the good work and always carry out your mission without any fear or favour as you have always done so. You are a true journalist who has never favoured any one and has never indulged in paycheck journalism. A. Veronica you are an inspiration to many Goans. I really admire your work for the community.
As far as the accusations that your blog has no credibility, I would proudly say that Kranti is the most popular Goan forum that has been ever established online. You have been able to taste success only because of your BOLDNESS as you call a spade a spade without much carrying for the consequences. I can imagine you may have antagonized so many so-called Konkani stage STARS but you are never intimidated by anyone. This is the hallmark of a true journalist.
To run a blog it needs a lot of fortitude and you have it. I was sitting in the Caesars Restaurant the other day in Kuwait City with my friends and some Goans were talking about your blog. One guy said to the other: "Tu Zaana to Veronic moro utla. To Konak bhina mure. Pun tege blog zait lok vachta ani to bor boroita." These were the words of one of the Goans.
So from this discussion, you can very well imagine the impact Kranti has made on the common man. Let people say whatever they want but the truth of the matter is Kranti has become a daily staple of many Goans, especially in Kuwait. I know my friends open the Kranti site first whenever they log on to the Net. Thanks for being such a big influence on our lives. And keep doing what you are doing. Never fear anyone. The day you give in to fear, you will be seen in the negative light.
I want to conclude by saying that KGTS should do some soul-searching and stop making scapegoats as it will not help them. The more KGTS tries to defend its ugly show, the more setbacks it is going to suffer. Let us give up politics for the sake of UNITY.
God Bless.
