Bid goodbye to the good doctor of Divar.
The "ATMA" of Divar Island is no more. As I was about to post a Christmas greetings to my friends, I receive the awful news that one of the greatest Divarkar has passed away to a better place.. I deeply mourn the death of my dear friend of many years Atmaram Pilgaokar, a knowledgeable male nurse, a great tiatr director and an awesome human being. Pilgaonkar Atmaram was always willing to help anyone at anytime of the day or night and that to for free, and has been doing it for the last 40 years. Only a few weeks ago he was garnering my help to save the Ruie medicinal plant which grows abundantly in Divar. My children Gemma Fernandes and Ashley Fernandes will always remember him with great fondness as he discovered them both and encouraged them wholeheartedly. My most Heartfelt condolences to his family and his many many patients on Divar Island.
A walk around Divar Island.
Today I was to take a reputed college on a Divadechi Pasoi but had to be postponed for a future date. Plan B, as my nephew and niece's have just arrived from the UK I offered to take them around our beautiful island. We visited a heritage cave, prone tirth, narva chapel, a portuguese ammunition dump, and shown them a freshly blooming Cashew tree. Another amazing day in Goa. #lovegoa #beach #bread #goan #GOA #festival #beach #divar #water #walks #island
