LESSONS FROM AN ITALIAN PRIEST By Pravin Sabnis In Don Bosco High School, an Italian priest, Fr Peter Gatti, taught me English in the tenth standard. He was huge, humorous and a highly effective teacher. My language skills prospered under his nurturing. -- |Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | || | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --

Sometimes these guests have either never been to Aldona, or have visited fleetingly. I take such people on a brief pre-lunch tour of Aldona either in my van or on bike/s.

[Goanet]Re: Goa in Olden days
Domnic, I really enjoy reading from your shelves..once i start cant stop..its really interesting to learn how healthy olden days people are till date..going strong..but young ones like us..keep falling ill due to lack of exercise..and no burning of calories..I have my mother, a living example of the 1930's..she prefers to walk anywhere and everywhere..whilst i would always offer her a ride on my Scooty..she would prefer to go on foot..in our area of Goa, transportation was not fully developed till recently..say 1990's when i was going to college.. in the late 1960's..when i was born in 1970..by that time my father sold his car away..and proceeded to Gulf..once again..after a break of say 3-4 years..not sure..these are stories before i was born..but i dont remember seeing my father's taxi..it would have been there..but i was too small to register anything then.. well well..im telling you my stories now..but reading yours are really interesting specially the ghostly one!!!..infact when i was in my tenth class..i used to wake up early to study for my Prelims..around 4- 5 a.m. may be..and i used to hear this stumping sound on the road like a metal rod when banged on the ground with its vibrations..and i used to wonder what it was then..then i told my mother i hear this sound early morning..she told me its the Gaonkar going back to his destination..passing by the road..i used to get scared after that to wake up in the mornings..then i started keeping up nights..but the prob existed..this gaunkar used to leave his destination at 12 am and go back at 5 am or so..so at 12.30 i used to hear this sound again..then i used to close my ears and go on studying..with fear inside me..cos i was the only one UP then..all fast asleep..i was the youngest so had no company from the rest of my brothers n sisters in staying up late or waking up early for studying..my eldest sister finished her SSC in 1975 when i was a lil girl..and all the rest were born in 2 years gap..all together 6 of us..so missed out on the fun when they used to wake up to study.. Good old memories are refreshed reading your mail..im feeling at home now here..n my mother is here with me..helping me with my baby..she is now 75 but as active as ever helps me also with all other chores.. regards, Grace
