Today I was loitering at the Central Library and was shown a new book, "Remembering Goa," by the author herself (Lourdes) who is a Senior Librarian there. These firsthand accounts of a time gone by assume even more significance now with all the ongoing wanton destruction of the beautiful things in our midst.
