In Goa we do not need speed breakers. Stray cattle do the job of speed breakers by sitting on the highways and roads.
In Goa we do not need to set the alarm clock early morning The kombo (rooster) does the job. In Goa they say when crow says kaw kaw it means you will get a letter today from the post man. In Goa when you hear the honking of the bicycle horn or thumping of a thick pole early in the morning you know that the baker is at your door steps.

In Goa at 10 am kunjee made of boiled rice is served on the table in a bood-ku-law ( earthen pot). the lid of the bood-ku-law is a empty half of a coconut shell paced on it with kaal chi kodi 9dried yesterday's curry) or thaw-ra-cho (green mago water pickle) In Goa when it becomes Angeles time you will hear the chapel or church bell. Then everyone closes the door and pray. In Goa when they wanted to feed their pigs granny use to go to the near by podher to bring dhond. Then she would come home and serve it to them and say yaw yaw yaw yaw, and for the hens and for the kombi ani kombe, baah baah baah. Crows do not need to be called.
