Very nice Cecil. I felt like I was wandering through the city. You could
make this into a walking tour and sell it to some travel agency. I too like
the old Portuguese names - like Armazen Vaglo jostling with the more modern
names. Its when I think of our good friend Isabel Santa Rita Vas and her
beautiful article about life growing up in Panjim.I don't know why it did
not become highly popular because it is a great piece of reading for anyone
wanting to settle in Panjim. I will be on the lookout for BABA ANTHONY -ST
JOSE VAZ, AL MALIK REHAIN FARHAAN and
SHRI GANESH SITABAI KRUPA on my next visit and I am sure to spot them just
as I did you outside the NIO!

In the area near National Cinema you will find a large old style
barber's shop (with a little wooden horse for small boys) named
BARBERIA NOVA SUCURSAL, probably the biggest hair cutting salon in
Goa. Behind this shop you will find a small shop, about as big as a
billiards table, with the fancy name CASHINATH CAMOTIM & IRMAO PVT
LTD.
In the Municipal Building we have the imposing SADASSIVA D. N. COUNTO,
COMERICIO DE MAQUNAS DE COSTURA. The names of the three buses – BABA
ANTHONY -
ST JOSE VAZ (why wait for canonization?), AL MALIK REHAIN FARHAAN and
SHRI GANESH SITABAI KRUPA. Our very own Amar-Akbar-Anthony on wheels.
The hate mongers can go take a plunge in the deeper end of the
Mandovi! Viva Goa!
