Dear Mr Noronha:
Your reference to Hubli in a recent issue of goanet brought back
memories of another time and another world half a century ago --
painful at that time, nostalgic 50 years hence. The cast of three three
of us involved -- Tony Mascarenhas, Jimmy D'Cruz and myself. All three
had graduated with Geology as our primary subject from that renowned
Jesuit institution, St Xavier's College in Bombay.
Frankly, there were no prospects for a geology graduate anywhere close
to Bombay. Tony and Jimmy who had graduated earlier than myself.
They very wisely started a small hands-on laboratary Londa which was
close enough to civilisation to make life tolerable. My own good fortune
took me to a place called Supa aa meaagre outpot situated on the
Belgaum-Dharwar bus route,

One of the newer settings in which Goans have based themselves is I.C.
Colony at Borivali. The colony gets its name from the Immaculate
Conception Church in the locality, and many Goan families which once
stayed in the heart of town have moved there in recent years. Just
learnt of the launch of a Goan Cultural Association at the I.C.
Colony. It can be contacted at La Paloma, Opposite Corporation Bank, I
C Colony, Borivali (West) Mumbai 400103.
