What a nicely organised article, particularly the oh so clever (in a good way) heading: A future for the past! ( https://www.heraldgoa.in/Edit/A-future-for-the-past-A-case-for-conserving-Goa%E2%80%99s-heritage/183490 ) Yeah, we need to preserve moments from our past, be they in the form of physical artifacts or cultural ones, to experience some continuity with life gone before us. What is particularly engaging in the article is the easy facility of expression, in language so colloquial and accessible we get his meaning easily -- the mark of all good writers! I have one quibble, though, the use of Bomoicar. Buddy, we in Sashtti say Bomboicar, not the way the blasted Bardezcars do it, unnecessarily eliding something as crucial as the second b! Look up an article in an early issue of the West Coast Times, published from Margao not too long ago, where a writer, who shall remain nameless, wrote about Bomboicars. Because, if Bombaim or Bomboi, therefore Bomboicars, right? QED! Peace, bros! If the English have their Scotland and Germany, and the French think these are actually Ecossais and Allemagne, why shouldn't the Bardezcars have their own, Ohmygod, variant of Bomboi? Kit' mut' re tum? (Winking emoji here).
