Thanks for pointing that out, Patsy! I quickly went to Facebook,
corrected it, and am sitting back quietly as if no mistake was ever
committed ;-) Googlegroups unfortunately isn't that forgiving.

Obviously, it will have to be 10.30 am, just before the school breaks
for their interval. The only day on which the school is active around
close to that time (p.m.) in on Earth Day, sometime in April ask
Tarika/Suhail for details, when there's an hour-long candle-lit
singsong and speeches. But that too ends at 9.30 pm.

Reminds me of your dad and the grand campfires we had as children at
LCHS (at one, he lit the bonfire by pushing in a stick after doing the
set-up with something inflammable... how impressive it was. Even more
so if you're like ten years old). Those were the 1970s, when a whole
lot of "Africanders" and others too had returned to Goa, lending all
kinds of vibrancy to our villages. By the 1980s and 1990s, many
migrated again to other destinations, but that's a story for another
day.

Also recall one of Scoutmaster Edwin Saldanha's sayings, at the end of
a campfire, which still sticks in my mind: "All good things have to
come to an end!"
