Thank you Isabel for sharing your almost fairy tale life with us! We need to
place you under house arrest a la Aung San Suu Kyi so you can post at least
thrice everyday. If we could tear the present generation from bad American
TV, crass country music that is played in every restaurant (for more on
music read Cecil's "Making music or mimicking?") and text messaging they
would see glimpses of Isabel's Panjim that still exist but can be seen only
by Bangalore yuppies and NRIs.

MEMORIES OF ANOTHER PANJIM: THE OLD TOWN HAD A CHARM OF HER OWN
By Isabel de Santa Rita Vas
She's quaint, they explain. How picturesque, they tell you.
And you blink and take another good look. You've never
thought of her in such adjectives. To you, she's full of
nouns and verbs, she's your home town, where you've always
done things, and who's mapped your life in subtle or more
determined ways. To me, Nova Goa, Cidade de Goa, Panjim or
Panaji are not sign-boards of plush hotels or sheeth-koddi
eating-houses. They are the ever changing make-up your cosy
mum wears when she goes to town.
