Health and happiness to Domnic in Anjuna.
His many articles in Goanet on Goa's cultural history gave many readers hours
of nostalgia and pleasure. So did his book Domnic's Goa which I read at one
sitting, start to finish.
Memories such as those are rare in one so relatively young and are an asset for
the community.
Now that he is writing on Mapuca, I hope he includes my village of neighboring
Assagao and it's people, since it is the filling between the sandwich slices of
Mapuca and his own Anjuna and about which I know so little.
In fact if he includes other satellite Bardez villages of Mapuca, it might take
him more time but it will have made it worthwhile to all of us.
No body else is going to do that and if Domnic won't do it, it's gone forever.
On a related note, Joel D'souza's individual coverage of Goa's villages was
equally interesting when they appeared years ago and deserve to be compiled and
sold.

Subject: [Goanet] Domnic "Domnic's Goa" Fernandes...
Dear all: Many of the old time Goanetters would surely know Domnic Fernandes
of Anjuna, earlier in Saudi Arabia, and the author of the book *Domnic's
Goa*. Incidentally, the idea for the book came after a series of articles he
wrote on Goanet.
Domnic has been back in Goa, in Anjuna, running a franchisee outlet and also
doing what he does well -- writing. At the moment, he's working on a book on
the Mapusa of old. So if you have any inputs or suggestions or pointers (and
specially old photos which you could give permission to reproduce), kindly
contact him at [email protected]
Coincidentally, it's both Domnic's and his daughter's birthday tomorrow (Oct
4), and here's wishing both all the best. It's nice to know such people,
specially the the work they do in helping us to remember not to forget the
fast changing reality that is Goa of the yesteryears. FN
