Most Goan expats are thought to be Catholic. This is a story from the Hindu Goan diaspora (to the US), and makes for an interesting read. The writer is an engineer, whose words give insight into the Goa of the 1960s and subsequent.
How Gaonkar got the chance to travel abroad, his fright over health issues, struggling to make it in a new land, and his experience with a Marathi (ex-Maharashtra) teacher turned freedom fighter all make for interesting reading. 382 pp. Rs 450. Translated by Sheela Jaywant. Available at Varsha Book Stall, near Azad Maidan, Panjim. https://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/31685147304/in/dateposted/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/32488031206/in/dateposted/ -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ Frederick Noronha | http://about.me/noronhafrederick | http://goa1556.in _/ P +91-832-2409490 M 9822122436 Twitter @fn Fbk: fredericknoronha _/ Goa,1556 CC shared audio content https://archive.org/details/goa1556 _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
