RE: [saligaonet] Communidade de saligao-VIII

[ANNETTE D'SOUZA]

Hello SaligaoNetters!
Despite my not liking too much history, I find this short posting very 
interesting as conections in my mind at least. I picked up on a  story, I 
think No Souza in 1st, 7th & 12th Vangodd huh! No wonder there are 
Souzas everywhere...can you imagine in each village if they have the same 
?.

.The 12 CATHOLIC BRAHMIN VANGODDS OR VANGOR(CLANS) of Saligao had one 
vote each.
Easy to remember - like the 12 Apostles - chosen ones, Grrh!


1st Vangodd: Cruz,  Furtado.
Wow!, no Souza
3rd Vangodd: de Souza
Gosh! only Souza
7th Vangodd:  Sequeira.
Only Sequeira?  No Souza - huh!
12th Vangodd:  Azavedo, Fernandes, Vaz( Vas with accent on `a').
Thank goodness! no Souza here but there is Fernandes ... grrh! - this is moi 
- Vas with accent on 'a'... but of course I had to make a mistake & join 
Souza clan, couldnt find a Vas actually to suit me or to take me on ... ha 
ha!

In today's world we cannot talk on brahmins and non-brahmins  in  the 
village and as a priest certainly not. ...
Definitely not, Fr. Nasciment else your head will fall under the block..
Anyway, in this day & age, I doubt anybody is bothered  about such things .. 
all these castes & antiquated ideas

However as I am looking at and writing on the age old intitution of our 
village, the Communidade and the books of Communidade de Saligao speak 
itself. Historical-wise I am bound to show this difference and I hope to be 
excused by our readers.
Of course you are excused! Why should a historian not write history as is?
Have a nice day/weekend
Ciao
Annette

[saligaonet] Gustav, skating... and all that

[Frederick Noronha]

Those of us who grew up in Saligao in the 'seventies and 'eighties would surely 
remember Gustav DeSouza of Arrarim skating all around the village, and beyond. Often 
on the mainroad (which wasn't at all that busy in those days).

This evening, while taking our little fellow for an evening walk, I ran into Gustav. 
Know what, he's offered to do a skating training programme for children who are 
interested. Do the others think this would be feasilble or that there would be takers 
for it?

If so, let's discuss it...
