That was 'Gomi Follam' (Gum fruits?) which has sticky substance and was used as
gum.
( two such trees/plants are near Panaji, one on Campal Road New Govt.Gym and
other
near market.)
Those days, we even used it for labelling our school books/note books besides
using
pasting letter as said in the Clue.
Besides, these 'gomi follam' we also used 'Xita Cuyam' or 'Beje Cuyam' (canji)
as
gum and during Xmas time for giant Star decoration and 'festachim bonderam' or
armusao etc we used 'guruth' as gum (made up of Maida Flour)
There were about 7 entries with just one correct answer.
There were two who said 'Chunam'
Thanks to you all.

I saw this plant after so many years. During my school time, as a child, I
remember even eating its fruits (see the pic) as riped ones taste sweeter. There
was a big tree near my school. Its fruits are first green and when riped it is
yellow.
There was even another variety of this plant/fruits elsewhere which were much
bigger in size (as big as 'bomboichim boram' or 'amballe').
