Hi Joe, Thank you so much. That was great! Sure brought back a lot of pleasant memories! .Enjoyed the trip back to yesteryears and all the memories it brought back.. Yes I know Burkolo’s caminhão, and I still remember as if it was happened yesterday. You and me both were travelling by Burkolo’s caminhão to Margao to watch hindi movies in ‘Cinema Metropole’. Let me ask you polietely, but what happened to the girl who used to sit next to you? Frankly I don't think you were trying for her. Ragar zainaka. Vicharta mhunn.

Thanks FN for the Pic I remember travelling in this type of vehicle. We called it carrier (Karier or Kareth). It was so low that even children could not travell standing. One of the popular owners of the Karier was 'Burkulo' ( I'm sure our Lapit will remember it too) and the rout was Velsao-Cansaulim-Utorda-Majorda-Nuvem-Margao..Around late 60's This vehicle was replaced by big nose type single doorbuses 'dodge' co. Which required a 'Z' shape handle to startit's machine. Bus cleaner would do it from the front of the bus (externally). These were then replaced by Ashok layland and Tata buses with flat front and more sitting capacity like 56 seating and 22 standing. Fare was 4 anas (24p) to Margao The pic has brought back my memories. Thanks again === I was about 20 then. ==== http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/2642196864/
