Hi Cornel!

I studied for one year in the 5th.Std. at the St.Theotonio Union High
School in 1943 when Fr.Pinto (brother of the well-known Prof.C.D.Pinto of the
St.Xavier's College, Bombay) was the Principal.
To the best of my knowledge, Fr. Jorda,S.J., who took over as Principal
when the school w
At long last, 56 years after we adopted a Republican Constitution,
has the Bar Council of India realized the incongruity of adressing judges
in the Supreme Court and High Courts as "My Lord" and "Your Lordship",
when the First Citizen is addressed simply as "Mr.President".

Dear Mr. Bonefacio Lopes,
Thank you for your extended reply to my post on the subject.
Believe me when I say that I am equally disgusted with the

I did expect a response from you to my post and have

I left Goa in 1938 after completing my primary studies
and was not eating grass but "bhaji-puree" in "Grande India"
or "India Livre" (as the portuguese-language censored press
in Goa described India after 1947)until my return to Goa to
