Talking about Borivali and IC Colony reminded me of my not-so-recent (May 2010) trip to Hubli. We stopped by at the home of my childhood friend Sharbelle (some of you might know her mum, Marjorie Aguiar nee Lobbo, no typo here, and her dad, Roderigo Aguiar of Margao, who was a radio announcer at Emissora de Goa, Radio Goa and AIR in the 1950s and 1960s).
Sharbelle's hubby Roque Fernandes took us on a whirlwind tour of parts of Hubli, before we caught the night train out, and was kind enough to show us the church, the school and the now (unused, I think) Goan Institute. Please see some of the photos here http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/sets/72157624198334204/ Take a look at the Goan Institute, a story in stone from another era [http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/4667027509/in/set-72157624198334204/] when Goans were aplenty in Railway jobs, and out-migration was the norm even more than now. Please share any links you have to diaspora groups.
