Sharing some contacts of people (and a cyberventure) I ran into recently: If you see an almost-European looking guy completely engrossed in his own ideas and cycling around Panjim, or en route to Miramar, it could well be Damodar Ghanekar. When someone gave me a copy of The Professor and the Madman [ http://www.amazon.com/Professor-Madman-Insanity-English-Dictionary/dp/006099486X] or some other novel dealing with the same theme, I gave it to this lexicographer friend of mine. Dambab is a Konkani teacher, lexicographer, encyclopaedist and journalist. He also offers legal and technical translation from Konkani to English and vice-versa. His email (not mentioned on his card) is damb...@gmail.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/5329902800/
My old school friend Sanjeev Sardesai is into Sans Critic and other ventures at understanding local history and spreading awareness about it. He's also an avid reader and we meet up at bookshops sometimes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/5329902272/ Anzil Ferns, a Goan student from Margao whom I cybermet while he was searching for Konkani music to be played on the Mangalore-based community radio station run from St Aloysius's, gave me this card of Goenche.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/5329289891/ Frederick Noronha :: +91-9822122436 :: +91-832-2409490 Some books from Goa,1556 http://bit.ly/euv3g8 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW BOOK: 'PATRIOTISM IN ACTION: Goans in Indias Defence Services' Copies now available at: GOA: Literati (2277740), Other India (2263306), Broadway (6647038), Mandovi (2427904), Noel DSilva & Associates (9823120454 / 9096781714), Confidant / Golden Heart Emp (2732450), David & Co (2730326), Vardaan (9527463684) SERV / RETD Def Offrs in Goa: O/o Sainik Co-op Hse Bldg Sty, Def Col, Porvorim (2417288) MUMBAI: David & Co (22019010) PUNE: Manneys (26131683), Popular (25678327) BENGALURU: Narayan (22865800) DELHI: Ritana (24617278) ONLINE (worldwide delivery): http://www.ritanabooks.com/booksdistri.htm, http://goa1556.goa-india.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
