Domnic Fernandes' article on the Goan Gulfee brought back memories ( around 1958) of my childhood when I met many of these guys around the Saddar area of Karachi where my Uncle Douglas after marrying a Miranda lady from Salcette was staying.
Many of these Gulfees visited them while their ship was in Port. They were dressed as mentioned in the ' bring back the memories' article on the Goan Gulfees. Domnic is also bang on target regarding the things they carried. In fact, my Uncle and Aunt received many 'gifts' from these generous people. I still don't know why, but it seems that my aunt's father ( who was a Tailor) was quite famous and these chaps came to pay him a visit. Drinks flowed and all had a good time over a hastily put together dinner, including myself. Thank you, Domnic, for bringing these memories to the fore as they had receded into the recesses of my mind. Your article on Cowdung, too, was an eye-opener for the present generation and enlightened the present generation. Keep up this great service to Goa and Goan culture as you are doing.
