Re: [Goanet] Rival in feni's backyard - an Indian tequila

Yes; the chashew apple should resonate with what I used to enjoy very much, from Canadian Liquor Commission---'Plum Brandy', known in the Slavic regions of Europe as 'Slivovitch'; maybe spelled with a 'z'. I should think that the same kind of vingtage should derive from Jackfruit. A lot of good

[Goanet] Rudolph Kammermeir's Concert Hour. . . .

Yesterday evening I went down to Calangute for Herr Rudolph's piano recital, which as those who may know him is played on his own 'baby grand' in a domed gallery space that seems purpose-built for music acoustics. It was an impressive performance, by one who is obviously an accomplished

Re: [Goanet] Indian Mother awesome joke

Not bad. I have a 'clerical version' of that story. A closely observant Parish Priest had the feeling that his curate was cutting corners in recital of 'The Divine Office', considered a serious offence, and binding under 'pain of mortal sin'. Upon leaving for vacation he told the curate to do a

[Goanet] Doctor in the House?

As some may know, I have just experienced the demise, and obsequies held, for my wife. We lived a long and eventful life together, so I'm not about to grieve in any negative fashion. One aspect of it all however prompts me to make a suggestion that might be open to discussion in our GoaNet
