Interesting but sad video to see the ending of a rite of passage at one period of time for several Goan villagers, who used their Bombay clubs as transit to await calls for their ship jobs or to use as residence while in city employment.
This purposes no longer arise. Communications to join ships either from the agents or from their union, comes electronically. Travel from Goa to Bombay is daily and frequent, and domestic workers from Goa for Bombay’s homes and establishments have been replaced by tourism jobs in Goa and employment in the Gulf. This is one of several videos documenting life in those clubs that have appeared over the years. It appears to be a joint effort by media students funded by a Bollywood actor’s generosity and is reasonably presented. Great for the archives because it captures the melancholy. Roland.
