"And So It Was Written" Part 1: The Balcony

This is the story of my life full of events and adventure that will fascinate the reader as life was so different then. My children often complained that they had little idea of the land of their ancestors. Whenever we talked about the past and I narrated events that occurred, they would express astonishment and ignorance.Then when I was a teen a fortune teller predicted I would end my life. I took this as a challenge and every time I’m down in the dumps I tell myself this will not happen and I have survived. I want this to be a lesson to all you folks out there who are troubled. Time is the best medicine. Just give yourself another chance. I hope this narrative will help. Finally you will learn about the food, customs and culture of the Christian people from Goa, once a Portuguese colony and now a state in India
