Mario Fernandes... on culture, music, drama and sports in today's Goa (January 24, 2012) 1 mario-fernandes-interview 17:16 During a noisy evening session at the Cafe Prakash in Panjim (Goa), returned expat Mario Fernandes explains about how he struck roots back in Goa, after his family was out of the region for a century or more of migration. Some unusual ideas, and fascinating results received from consistent work in the village areas of Goa.(The interview ends with one of the Cafe Prakash regulars asking Mario if he was undergoing a confession! Cafe Prakash is considered to be the "unofficial press club" of Goa, a noisy place in the evening at best... but full of interesting talk and gossip.)

Diviya Kapur, and an unusual bookshop from Goa 1 literati-diviya-interview 13:13 Lawyer Diviya Kapur chose to trade her education at the prestigious National Law School of India University (Bangalore) with running a bookshop in Goa, India. Her ideas resulted in Literati, an innovative and well-appreciated experiment run in an old, refurbished home somewhere near the Calangute-Candolim border, along the North Goa coastal belt. Here, she talks about her priorities, what it means to run an 'indie' bookshop in Goa, and the changing scene of books in India today, from the perspectives of both a bookseller and bibliophile.
