Re: [Goanet] Diaspora Links: At IC Colony.... and Hubli
Dear Mr Noronha: Your reference to Hubli in a recent issue of goanet brought back memories of another time and another world half a century ago -- painful at that time, nostalgic 50 years hence. The cast of three three of us involved -- Tony Mascarenhas, Jimmy D'Cruz and myself. All three had graduated with Geology as our primary subject from that renowned Jesuit institution, St Xavier's College in Bombay. Frankly, there were no prospects for a geology graduate anywhere close to Bombay. Tony and Jimmy who had graduated earlier than myself. They very wisely started a small hands-on laboratary Londa which was close enough to civilisation to make life tolerable. My own good fortune took me to a place called Supa aa meaagre outpot situated on the Belgaum-Dharwar bus route, From: Frederick Noronha One of the newer settings in which Goans have based themselves is I.C. Colony at Borivali. The colony gets its name from the Immaculate Conception Church in the locality, and many Goan families which once stayed in the heart of town have moved there in recent years. Just learnt of the launch of a Goan Cultural Association at the I.C. Colony. It can be contacted at La Paloma, Opposite Corporation Bank, I C Colony, Borivali (West) Mumbai 400103.

Re: [Goanet] Diaspora Links: At IC Colony.... and Hubli
There were many of them before I came around 40+ years ago Now you find more Gujaratis, Jains, Punjabis, etc in IC Colony.

Re: [Goanet] Diaspora Links: At IC Colony..and Hubli
I liked Borivali and the the IC Colony, where lot of Goans stayed. I have been there years back dont remember when, must be in 1976-80. My Uncle stayed in Borivali, just opposite the Convent a house called VILLA FORTES. At that time I used to work Bombay offshore, on ONGC Oil Rigs. When I used to come off for 7 days off after 14 days work, I was spent one night with my uncle and Borivali is the best place and he used to take me around to meet his Goan friends in IC Colony and around IC Colony. Today 8th December and Borivali Parish is celebrating the Feast of our Lady.of Immaculate Conception. Happy Feast to all Borovlikars. Kaiborim xetam tech porim kitlinch zadam, Modem modem Lhan vhodd ghoram. Tea tempar Goyank sor korpa sarkilem Hoi tem Mumboint Borivali Monantli yad vochona.
