RESPONSE: For starters shall we please follow Captain Morgan's filosawphee -
What happens below the deck, STAYS below the deck!
You have more than jumped the gun on this one. Besides your gaffe in the
earlier message, you have now acknowledged that you know all the Konkani words
there are to know. Viva !! A slug of Captain Morgan's to that.
Secondly you are forcefully shoving Domnic into the company of your off-key
but soloist brass player - who does the fingering and blowing without any
help. Domnic's talent is writing, with sincerity I might add. He is no brass
player.
Thirdly, I don't know which Goan men you were looking at when you saw
those "pots". Captain Morgan and his crew have labored to carry around a
chiselled 6-pack.
Let Konkani education - words, grammar, script run perennially.
Best - Bosco
PS. In all my years as a Goan, I never knew there was a place called Kamanwada
in Goa
