As to "limited recreation", perhaps the author of that article did not like a 
more sedate evening after the relatively hard day's work :-)  Shouts of 
"Diar-Noich" (Diario da Noite was the evening paper), "Sort Sort - falean 
abertur", and sometimes "Yea sonsarant sogleank kui!"... mingled with the 
crows' chorus among the trees when the band wasn't in attendance ... Ah! those 
were the days!

This an interesting article in memory to the few such public squares in Asia. I 
remember Guna the barber and his newspapers. The senior librarian carefully 
sidesteps the forced removal of the bust of Vasco da Gama by the current 
colonial ruler of our land besides, he lacks the guts to tell the reader who 
built the square and has the audacity to tell us 'it happened after 
liberation'.
