Mogal FN and MT, Is it possible that :
1: my post was misunderstood OR 2: I wrote poorly? Did I really mean: 3: to focus "our" attention on the subjects which caught FN's attention OR 4: to advise "us" to avoid getting caught up in speculation v revisionism? BTW: Did Valmiki write: 5: that The Navhind Times also carried a report (even though it might have) OR 6: that Patrick worked on the story more than anyone else My good friend Bernado is probably right. But then, I am neither 7: a forensic chap NOR 8: a jeweler. Oh yes, I do remember 9: the matting wicket at the Panjim Gymkhana AND 10: the Buick whizzing past those of us who traversed Panjim on foot. I had three queries: 11: What is it that broke the caste-barrier? (possibly why one blogger believes that DB was a 'Baman') 12: How was she treated after she was widowed? 13: Did Leena ever return to Goa? In her words (No doubt, her version) .... http://idiva.com/news-entertainment/how-leena-survived-after-kishore-kumars-death/12048 I hope we will now leave this matter alone ....... jc On Aug 25, 2012, at 4:35 PM, Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا <[email protected]> wrote: > On 26 August 2012 01:09, manuel tavares <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> This is a brilliant Idea.
