Samir,

Thanks for stirring up Bakibab's words in my memory. They move me every time I 
hear them. I think "lamondive lamb" should be "lamondive praann" - oil lamps 
became souls or breaths.

I am hoping that you have hit a nerve among the Goan populace - said to them 
"zayath zage", words of another great man.

Best,

Santosh
