Dear BC who wrote, "Hi Augusto,
Thanks for the fantastic input about the Kowalkar defensive play (pimple out rubber), and the various racquet material you have mentioned. Luis Tavora was SS Dempo he was my classmate." Regarding which college Luis Tavora belonged to, I concede that I must have made a terrible mistake, because as you say Luis Tavora was from SS Dempo College, as he was your classmate there. Actually it is a shameful mistake to make on my part because Luis and his elder brother Carlos Tavora studied at the same school as me, St Anthony's H. S. Monte de Guirim, although possibly a couple of years older to me. And to add to this, I happen to be on the staff of Dempo College now, and could have easily confirmed the facts had I not been so lazy. And the shame is further compounded by the fact that whenever I go to one of Luis's shops, he never fails to give me a discount if he is around, even though I never ask him to do so ;-) - other goanet businesspeople had better get the hint. Cheers Augusto P.S. BC, don't you think people like you and Luis and Aditya Tarcar and Prasad Kirtani should be part of a Dempo College Alumni Association? What would you say about having a mailing list of ex-Dempo College students who could reconnect with old classmates or college mates? If I mistake not even FN was at Dempo College, although I wonder whether he attended classes given that he had joined the Herald around that time. I know that Selma Cardoso now Carvalho who has just come out with a tremendous book 'In the Diaspora Wilderness' was an ex-student but perhaps much later than you. -- Augusto Pinto 40, Novo Portugal, Moira, Bardez, Goa, India E [email protected] or [email protected] P 0832-2470336 M 9881126350 * * * Read Selma Carvalho's warmly-received book *Into the Diaspora Wilderness*, a journey through Goan life in Africa, the Gulf, England and North America ... gripping and well-told real-life stories.
