Mario,
Many thanks.
And yes, I am on vauchi baaji because I basically have no $799 to pay for 12
bots of Angioprim from the USA.
And I hope to get a few more months so that I can clear my desk and the
backlog which needs time :-))
[I have been really messy with things, especially my tables and work desk
and if at all I am santa grey it is because of the nagging on this front
from my better half
My justification to her is that I had people to clean out my desks and cabin
on the ships for 27 years]
I guess things that need to be cleared needs my sole attention and therefory
I am applying myself. And btw this does not include 'goasuraj'. It is
clean/spic and span and shining as hell ; not like India Shining though
:-))
Cheers
floriano

But Mario, one thing puzzles me. We in Goa ate nothing but coconut copra
oil for ages and if people died of choked cardio vascular systems and high
LDL we would never know. But sure as hell they didn't die at 40-45 :-)).
Then, all of a sudden this staple became the killer and they fall off
their feet at 40-45, very much dead. Can you solve this puzzle for me
please??
Mario's random thoughts on the end of life:
Floriano,
Not only would Goans eat copra but eggs every day with whole milk and then
ate the cream with sugar, not to mention Christians eating massive
qualtities of beef and pork with the fat and skin, after fighting over who
got the fat.
Secondly, you have written your "Sure as hell..." personal impressions
which may or may not conform to actual facts about mortality in Goa. A
factor in heart attacks is stress which may be much higher these days. I
have two male ancestors who grew up in Goa and died of heart attacks in
British India. One died in 1941 at 53 and his Dad died in 1929 at 87.
I'm hoping I take after the latter.
