That was excellent, Edgar. And congratulations!. You got me on that 'gud old bike without brakes and dynamo on Moira's long , steep unpaved and dangerous patch of road in pitch darkness. Bat's vision and instinct alone had save me from drowning in the neigbourig well along with my bike many a times. And those bruised knukle from pushing the goddo and holding one ear in a godde forfeit, the Ben Johnson sprint to complete the 'Mari' in Koine-bal forfeit and falling over somebody's head in the well at Sao Joao.
Suggestion. You should seriously sit down and compile these "Ventures of the olden days" into an all Goan book. If not, these good old days will be lost entirely for the coming generation and they will never know that such things ever existed. I am with you on this and I'm sure Cecil will be too willing to help.
