My dearGood Cheerful Rico,
Pray belay... you know not much that cheers Cecil, Gabe, Merwyn & I
Reminds me when Morarjee Dessai briefly held sway over India.
He dared to promulgate a law to impose prohibition in Goa.
When he came down to Goa, to preside over the AICC convention,
one of the starred motions was his sad obsseion.
Then we rose! Aurobindo de Martins dos Barros, Erasmo, Sanker Bandhari
I & many others, under the banner of The Fraternity of Fools.
Along his drive, Dabolim-Raj Niwas, almost every tavern, & they were then
many, had enacted bamboo arches with empty bottles telling banners:
DRINKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT THE BOTTLE!
When that evening the "august guests" sought to promenade Miramar we were
there in full force, with cups filled with feni! Screaming at Morarjee and
cohorts
with Derwish fury: HAVE A CUP THAT CHEERS.
The cup I tried to press to his lips didnt´t contain just feny but feny
copiously drunk
by me, during the day, and filtered out.
Needless to say, no prohibition bill was ever tabled during that AICC sessin
or, ever since.
Alfred de Tavares
