Good insights on Goa's past ... Enjoyed reading and had a good laugh - Reader Luis Gomes on Short Takes Long Memories

Extracts from the observations by reader Luis Gomes from Margao, Goa after reading Short Takes Long Memories"

"As I am a Goan, born in East Africa and spent my first 14.5 years there, I have been keen to read and know more of Goa hence grateful for having read the above book. It has given me some good insights on our past.

I enjoyed reading about the visit to pharmacy;  Portuguese's boxes of sausages; and the Kundaim Village Elder's Speech and really had a good laugh. I have narrated these stories to a few friends."

Luis Gomes
