Eduardo Judas Barros was unstoppable in his cultural activities. I had known him as a senior colleague at Rachol Seminary, where he combined his theological studies with editing of the daily newspaper "A Vida", in partnership with Fr. Lucio da Veiga Coutinho. He was a lover of Konkani and brought out the first Gova Almanak in 1967. Incidentally, I tried my incipient talent at drawing with some cartoons in this first Almanak. Judas Barros spent a day with me in 1994, the year I moved to Portugal, and later again in 2004. During the past two years I had been sensing some ominous silence. My last few e-mails to him remained without response. I had begun to sense that something must be wrong. Unfortunately it was so. Judas Barros died yesterday and the funeral will be tomorrow at 17 h. The Vice-Chancelor of Londrina University, Prof. Wilmar S. Marçal, has declared official mourning. I remember an obituary note for V.K. Rajwade, who contributed immensely to the History of the Marathas. He would move around with bag on his shoulders and laddus in his pocket (as his only meal) collecting private family records. Today there is an archive dedicated to him. The obtiuary note ended with: "Rest, restless soul rest". May the inspiration and love for Goan culture that made Eduardo Judas Barros restless continue aflame!
