Dear joegoauk How could you possibly write an article about Allen Costa without mentioning that other legend Imelda (Tavora) Dias. She is still around, I believe, living in a very tasteful flat in Altinho. She must be pretty old now, having been born in 1928 but I still say that the trouble taken to visit her if her family allows it would be well worth the trouble.
I had done an article about All India Radio a long time ago for Goa Today when I met her and listened to her fascinating stories. She wrote two books - 'How Long is Forever - An Autobiography of a Woman Ahead of Her Times' and a collection of autobiographical short stories - 'Shattered Lives'.
