In the age of Covid -19 On Father's Day, I thought about Marcello Francisco Pinto
My father Mad fella Unlike all the Goan Afrikanders Who loved the English And who had Abandoned Konkani To embrace English He advised me In Kenya's Post Independence 60s When I was but a 6 year old To question All my cousins: "Why are you rushing To Britain?" "To lick The arses Of the Whites Isn't it?" On his part He declared: "Mhaka Goenchich Mati zai." He came down To Goa in 1970. He reunited With his beloved Goenchi Mati In 1972. Happy Father's Day Marcel. What does Johnny have to say?
