I think there is more here than meets the eye. I very much doubt if any of his 'books' saw sales of any kind. It must have cost him personally to have a few vanity copies printed. I suspect a voodoo inspired need, further abetted by the wife, to appease society, and salve his father's revered memory. I do not have a problem with that, to be nice. eric.

Barad who was known for his automobile repairing skills and his Auto Garage in Margao,… COMMENT: I was unaware that this U.G. Barad was Govind’s son. I knew the father very well right from the 1950s. My father had a “Austin A40 saloon” car, and Barad was the one we used to go to for repairs for minor faults. For major ones, Dempo, who were the agents recommended one Joao Monteiro from Taleigao who had his workshop behind present Marietta Restaurant. The father was a very simple, quiet and humble person as far as I remember him and used to reside near the workshop itself in Comba, west of the road parallel and behind the police station. His main reliable hand was one Ramdas, who I believe left for Saudi in the late 1960s. I do agree what Eric has to say, but, I’d also like to add that each one as an adult is responsible for his actions. The law presumes one is capable of rationalising once attaining adulthood. Else, Laws would mean nothing. They are framed to protect them who toiled and earned the fruits through hard work and not otherwise. Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.
