Dear Dominic: Cordial thanks for your heartwarming account of life in Goa with the focus on "Xenn". I'm impressed by your bucolic humility and sense of nostalgia. You're a genuine dyed-in-the-wool "Son of the Soil". You earn bonus points for inserting equivalent Konkani words strategically in your vivid descriptions of housing construction and maintenance.
This is a lovely "no-holds-barred" expose on important aspects of life in Goa. The clean rustic charm of your article is something I'll cherish for a long time. I look forward to reading more of your sweet recollections of good old Goa. An article on Goan social customs would be most welcome. It's one of the main reasons I became a member of Goanet. Regards and best wishes.
