I didn't want to make Ricky feel that I was criticising him :-) On the other hand, I do recall joining Ricky and his friends like Diego (probably also reading this) in some naughty antics that involved pillow-fights, trying to hatch eggs by placing them in a refrigerator not connected to any electricity (!), and attempting to smoke during a school picnic to Dona Paula and Miramar when seven years old!

Hey you got the best! My mouth is watering! We get the white sannas here but not the brown jaggery ones which were my favourite. What sweet was that?....Pyramid-shaped puddle? What's the Konkani word for it?
Sorry about that typo. It should read 'pudde' (that's the Konkani name). A kind of inverted pyramid, packed in a jack-fruit leaf. Anyone else remember that? FN PS: I've just finished editing a book called "Domnic's Goa" that talks about the Goa that was 50 to 60 years ago.
