Well! I dont know where all the other animals like the goats, cows, bulls & buffaloes got to! But I do know that the pig population diminished when many Saliganvkars started building their simple or hi fi toilets with flush, septic tanks & the like.
Patsy, do you at least remember the song - Those were the days my friend - played at every jam session (that means weekly during month of May) at the Saligao Institute in the 1970's. Hmm! Memories linger on.... It is our weekend - a hot one I guess in terms of weather. Another swine flu death registered here & 3 patients are critical...considering that Bahrain is a small Island....well! Nowadays nobody want to visit the hospitals even if they are sick with other ailments just in case they contract the swine flu germ...huh! DR. Dilip - any more breakthroughs or tips that you can afford us? Any news about "The Missing CM?" hmm! Reminds me of the Perry Mason cases - Breaking News on NDTV - they must have read a lot of Perry Masons during their young days.......as I did. Have a good day!

Likewise, where are the goats and cattle that once grazed our hills? A few cattle exist, but the poorer section of villagers say they're difficult to maintain... grazing lands have been taken over for factories and other purposes, thanks to a man called Suresh Parulekar and his "vision". One generation ago, I recall villagers pooled their efforts to graze the goats on the hill, one day in the week each. At around 6 pm, all the goats came home collectively. It was quite a site, seeing owners matching their own goats, to be taken home. Does anyone else recall this? I'm sure others would... Specially Albert and others of my generation.
