Well done my friend. Admire and appreciate the frankness and clear
picture of the good old days of Goan Dhobitalao.
Here's something, I have to say....My Uncle Joe had a tailor's shop
opposite Snowflakes he did so well selling local booooze to the tarvotis
(shippe's) and, he was an Excellent Ladies Tailor switching Wedding
Gowns. Life was good and fast at that time and is still the same. I
visited India in 2009 and made sure to drive by the lane where my Uncle
Joe once lived and dam it felt good to think of the good old times. That
day, in that house were 10 kids studying they were from
grade 4 and up surely these kids will someday be professional doctors,
lawyers, pilots and so on. INDIANS KEEP IT.
