Aye saaiba Xanno. The uppar ka Baap getting little hot tempered with you no. You missed our Bhoiro Camil from on the way to Moida Igroz and chaka-chak Bomboichi bawli Celina's casa. Camil's sons are roaming the Mapche baazarant these days, returning from foreign.
So what are the legends of Moira.There was one from Anjuna detailed in Goa Tuday. Do share. I just heard some parts of Betalbatim have a church curse...some Berpatkars on the list should share. So here are off the cuff names from Majorda-Utorda (I go there to pluck other people's coconuts on dark starry nights). Paklo (Agnel)- evergreen goalkeeper, lives above Musson. Woop (no body knows his real name...called so for returning from Vascu by the night train doing Woop to frighten dogs and other moving creatures as he found his way home in the darkness. There was no electricity in Majorda.) Pikit: short in stature,do-it-all man (one fine day, he was gone, never to be heard of). No first name. Pe-li (Pele): semenarian, dark of skin, awckwaard walk-run like the Brazalian footballing legend (just before Pele) and made the difference in AA Majorda's fortune, just by being present. No one knew his name.Really. Cupatuliant Baakar (variations, Cupatuliant oaitha= going through the clouds): The baakar (no names) who mixed 50% maadachem/50% petro in his Florett which did a mile in two hours. You could walk faster than baakar on his Florett. And to make his appearance comical, he popped 5 pen covers in his pockets. There were no pens as was discovered when he went to the Mudgao'chem Camara to sigh a property deal. Say one of his sons should list the Florett on E-Bai and I think the Goa Gorment should consider him for an innovation award or wot? Madrasi: dark of skin, hotel owner, caught with a lungi on a Sunday afternoon, the name stayed. Studied in Madras. Lords House: Eccentric baadkar..........blocked the path to the chappel........named his one story casa, Lords House. Name carried on to him. Total 60s hero, cross between Prestley and a **********. Some of the other names slip my mind this late hour.
