Expat debuts at 42

Youth in their late teens and early 20s were not the only ones to vote for the first time on Tuesday. Osbert Anthony D’Souza, 42, from Caranzalem was one among them when he finally got the opportunity to be part of the world’s largest democratic process. “I was brought up and have lived in Kuwait. The opportunity to be in Goa when elections were happening never came my way,” D’Souza says, adding that he feels good after finally casting his vote. “I felt like I did something for my country.”
