I remember, we were eating those shell (fish). It's shape was round the size of a CD/DVD disk. We boiled to open it and we got two discs. We eat the flesh (as in mussels) and throw away the shells/disc (bright/silver color discs) Plenty seen in every body's backyard dumped as waste. Farmers used to put up the shells (hanging) in their filed. I think it's reflection (Sun's rays) was driving away crows (and evil eye) etc A lady used to come to sell door to door. And that was in 1970's. I have never seen it since then. Locally, we called it 'Mendio'. 'Mendiam Korpam zonelam' Nowadays, ladies only coming to sell Tisrio, Xinannio and Kalvam There is one house close to my house with such windows Thanks for the pic, FN [EMAIL PROTECTED] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa or http://is.rediff.com/profilevisitor.php?mem_id=48419 ___________________________________________________________ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint?
