[Goanet] Days of the Goan Bullock Cart When we try to jump on the cart, the bullock cart man used to beat us with the same 'chabuk' he used to beat bullocks. No one liked him. Yet there was another who never said anything to us. We named him 'marana kopi ku ku ku' I still remember bullock cart carrying haystack which was 3 times more than the height of bollock cart
Bullock carts still exist in Goa. Only last year, we saw one when we were going to Calvim/Aldona. We came across it on the road it was carrying some mud Else where in Goa, bullocks carts are now used to e ntertain foreign tourists giving them a free ride thru the villages etc Check here some of the pics of bullock carts http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk2/2380466917/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk16/3132931540/sizes/l/ blue colour lanmp you see here was used/hanging/glowing under the bollock cart at night (there were no electricity that tinme) http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk4/269997140/sizes/o/ zoth/fields http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk1/2667911793/sizes/l/ video 1 kids running behind bullock cart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX1JObcTgN0 Video 2 bullock cart ride for tourists http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjRm36tagNE Quote: [Goanet] Days of the Goan Bullock Cart http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-March/175569.html [email protected] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
