How far from the FATHERLAND, have you drifted to, my dear George?
BTW, is'nt VATERLAND for the Huns?
For Goans is'nt our sweet Goa...always our MOTHERLAND???
I remember the doggerel I wrote when, steeped in feni, I embarked the
Sabarmat for my long jaunt that stii, merrily, progresses:
Farewell, Goa...
the land of my birth...
farewell, my sweet motherland...
with your shores of sand...
Will I never more see
the green banks of Mandovi..
or, the bridge over it ready?
& it went for several unabashed stanzas...on the then indulgent O heraldo or
Goa Today. That was in sixties!
