Thank you for sharing that, Rochelle. Found it most useful. We in Goa surely need to initiate some work on the Oral History front. Please do keep sharing other pointers to what's happening on the academic front in Goa here, otherwise, the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing... in the worst sense of the Biblical term :-) Thanks again, FN PS: For those who might not know, Rochelle Fernandes is doing her PhD in English at the BITS-Pilani Goa campus. PPS: This is for others too. Please do connect us with what's happening in your respective campuses.
