Dear Bernado, For a person claiming to be a post-1961 baby,you seem to be pretty well informed about about Agente Monteiro and his times. The Portuguese you write also does not seem to be the post-bharati invasion version. How old are you really? Do not worry,I will not put you in touch with a marriage bureau.
The poor colonial sobs could not provide Goans with a graduate education.Perhaps they only wanted peons and clerks and semi-informed supporters. Pity you missed the bus. Or did you,really? I have my doubts as do other netters. Was your old man a quack that he lost practice after liberation. I have not heard of 'successful' medics before 1961. Where did the late Dr.Colaco practice? How do you rate his success? An award? Some decoration from Senhor Marcel Caetano?Doctors in my family were no worse after 1961. Nor were doctors from the rest of Goa who did not need a certificate from agente Monteiro as to their abilities.Some did not even surrender their Portuguese passports. Quacks perished, as did ducks.All one had to do during the days of 'disciplined' Agent Monteiro to be 'successful' was to lick his boots ocassionally. This 'system' of medicine did not work thereafter. Merit was a consideration. Welcome to ground reality,bharati reality. Nossa terra,linda terra ,nao e Portugal!
