I wish Dominic, with his treasure trove of information, would compile all his memories into a book, with pictures of the various pots and utensils. Thank you ever so much Dominic !
Ditto, Vivian. I agree with you fully.
These are vital societal memories which need to be captured, preferably in print. If Dominic is willing to put together 12-15 essays, I would volunteer my services to edit and layout the same as a book. Without charges, of course, since this is a good cause.
Currently, am myself exploring the possibility of self-publishing in Goa (or outside, it's far more inexpensive in smaller towns outside Goa) and it seems to be fairly affordable. There's no reason why a reasonably-priced book on a relevant topic would not sell a thousand copies.
In the past, I wrote a personal note to Dominic thanking him for his excellent write-ups on Goanet. For someone who grew up when Starco in Anjuna was widely talked off by college-kids, his essay on that was certainly very interesting to me!
But the reminiscences which go back to the 'sixties also strike a chord, because it's a reality we grew up with... even if we then didn't notice so closely. What's really interesting about Dominic's writing is his eye for detail and his narration skills which make it interesting to read.
Without doubt, the Net has bestowed in many the realisation that they can write. And write well. Some months back, I tapped a whole lot of these skills for write-ups used locally (and also subsequently put out on Goanet).
Keep it flowing Dominic. And, there are many other Dominics just waiting to get going. Please see our modest venture to e-mentor youngsters planning to take to journalist at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goajmentor -- in collaboration with the Ixtt Konkani weekly. FN
