Thanks for that sad yet lovely picture Nigel. A fitting tribute to Mario Miranda.
There was an age when Bombay's best were all Aunty's customers without exception. They were mostly Goans and their hangars-on, in advertising, in education, in music, in sports, in drama, in publications, in food and catering and not least in English drama and Konkani tiatr. It was a golden age for Bombay and it was mostly Goans that provided the color. It was as if God had said "I shall henceforth dilute your identity in your homeland, disperse you to the corners of the earth, and make you strangers to each other. But first I shall give you the miracle of the wine. You shall drink it and make others wonder at your talents. From the gutter this drink will be but it will give you long lives". That is what happened. The Goans and their friends went to the places where the miracle wine was, they partook of it in plenty, they created genius and wonder with their pens, in the fields, in the classrooms, wherever a tune could be heard, a sports track seen or people gathered to be amused. They should have died horrible deaths if you knew what their wine was made from. But God had turned it into a nectar and they all lived long and peaceful lives, their ends as peaceful and innocent as the genius with which they were blessed. Roland. Toronto.
