ROUND AND ABOUT
Busybee | Wednesday, October 15, 2003
Most of my Goan friends, make a list of gifts they would like to have at
Christmas: caju feni, mandolin, xacuti, a free meal at Goa Portuguesa, a
complimentary ticket on a Bombay-Mapusa bus, the driving out of all
outsiders from Goa (except foreign tourists), banning the Konkan Railway, a
seat at Fatorda Stadium when the Dempos are playing, a return to the old
days ("not like old times, man!").
I am making my list for Divali:
- An ID card for the elections without having to go once again for my
photograph and being told it cannot be taken because of several
technicalities.
- A decoder for Star Movies
-A bottle of scotch, so long as it is not Spey Royal, which tastes like an
adulterated bottle of Director's Special.
- A Premier 118NE in exchange for a Maruti 1000
- To bop on the head the next Goan who returns from Goa and, when I ask him,
"So how was it?" replies: "Not like old times, man."
