Khapriak khuim Bak'ran (landlord) falea Ponje vochon'zai mhun sangul'lem
[The landlord had told the Khapri that he needed him to go to Panjim on an
errand -
the next day]
Dusrea dissa, Bak'ar Khapriak mevona fude Khaprian sanglem " Bak'ar aum raticho
Ponje vochon ailom!"
[Next day break, when the landlord wanted to give instructions to Khapri on the
impending errand, the Khapri said " But sire, I have already gone to Panjim and
back
during the night]
:-))
And this is a real story:
A retired Africander once told me during the Christmas day visits ( circar
1967-68)
when I was a college boy ( :-)) now U know I went to college, Uhmmm ?:-)) )
"One day", he said, " this arrogant khapri ( my house boy ) picked up on me".
"One
kick and he was down".
To that I had responded: "Sir, that KICK has rebounded. Don't you see that you
are
in good old Goa just frothing inthe mouth whereas the 'Khapri' is the master of
his
land ?"
Note: No offence meant, please.

"Even the Khapris look after their wildlife better.
And we think we are way better than Khapris.
Apologies for letting my racial biases surface.
India is getting nearer to Khapri-land."
