Hi GoaNetters:                         Re: Questions on Goan culture   I am compiling a compendium on Goan cultural practices. Here is some more help I need from you if you can help. Please feel free to pass this to anybody whom you think may be knowledgeable of this information. Perhaps your parents and your aunts.  The answers in part or in whole can be e-mailed to me directly (preferable) or via the Goanet.   1. Specific Goan practices/celebration (with name of the event) at child birth. 2. Any specific Goan practice/celebration (including name of the event) during the first month of the childbirth. 3. Any specific Goan practice / celebration (including name of the event) during pregnancy. 4. Any specific Goan practice / celebration (including name of the event) during the first year of the child like the first hair cutting ceremony, etc. 5. Any specific Goan practice / celebration (including name of the event) during the adolescent period. 6. Any specific Goan practice / celebration (including name of the event) at an engagement. 7.
