Quote: When we were travelling -- in Goa and beyond -- we found the best way to get to know the name of a village is to go by the bank name-boards. ==== Why not get down (from a bus or car) & ask the people instead? This would be short, simple, cheap and quick. One will have to ask them where is the nearest bank any way.. If the place/people where u are in don't understand the language you speak then what chances are there to find Bank Boards in the language u understand? (seen many places where everything written in local languages and not a single English or Roman letter word) e.g.(bank)branch=Shaaka (followed by the name/place)
Anyway, I was only trying to share the info with the others. I did not mean to say people should buy expensive cellphones just for this info. Also, I was trying to say.. Something that GOA has but UK does not, is this not something that Goans should be proud of? There is a saying in Konkani... "Dukor marunkui voilear rodta ani posunkui voilear rodta" Will come back again on this with more info.
