Hi Selma and Roland
Your posts remind me of a true story!
The son of an emperor and heir apparent in Rome was visiting the outlying
post of Britain a long time ago and whilst in his chariot not far from where
the 2011 Olympics will take place in East London, he suddenly spotted a bloke
along the route who resembled him very closely. He arrogantly stopped his
chariot and demanded "you slave come here." He then asked the startled Brit,
who by now also recognised the facial similarity, if his mother had ever been
to Rome? "No sir" was the reply "but my father had been there for a while."

, Goan bhatcars of all castes had their unique ways of exercising this right.
Once again proving that Feni was not the only Goan innovation to come out of
Portuguese Goa.
