Dear Floriano Thanks a lot for your clarifications. I recollect meeting you and saying just "Hi" near the HDFC bank on my way to the present "Fish Market" of Mapusa. Rest of my experience in the fish market I have explained to all in my last e-mail.
When I was a kid I remember visiting on my own the newly built Mapusa Market when it was built somewhere in late 1950s on my bicycle just to see the new wonder in Mapusa. Now when I have crossed my 60s, I see the sorry state of this market. I wish the MNE the best of luck in the forthcoming elections as you all have laid down openly what you intend doing in Mapusa if you come in power, but I would also like to request your team or anyone coming to power in Mapusa to please see that we the older generation get a chance to see during our life time an improvement of this facility which is in a very pathetic state at present.

However, I meant to say " Mapusa Municipal Market built during the Portuguese era." There is a marked difference between the two. The Portuguese did not build the Market for Mapusa per se. Goans in authority did. Goans like the then President of the MMC Pinto Rosario, the Architect/Engineer Armando Fonseca and the overall incharge at PWD Panjim Mr. Vitorino Pinto who is presently in Switzerland heading WHO [if I am not mistaken]. At my request to help us to design a modern Goa, he has responded positively. Needless to say that Goans of yester years are still very much concerned about what is happening to Goa and Mapusa.
