About the Chapter :
4. The Chapter at a Glance :
Goa is very much influenced by the Portuguese. Their
traditional work can be still seen there. The Portuguese are
famous for preparing the loaves of bread. We can come across
the bakers of bread. The writer tells about his childhood days in
Goa when the baker used to visit their friend. He used to visit
the house twice a day. In the morning, his jingling sound of the
bamboo woke them from sleep. They all ran to meet him.
5. The loaves were purchased by the man-servant of the house. The
villagers were much fond of the sweet bread known as ‘bol’. The marriage
gifts were meaningless without it. So the bakers’ furnace in the village
was the most essential thing. The lady of the house prepared sandwiches
on the occasion of her daughter’s engagement. In those days the bread
sellers wore a particular dress known as ‘Kabai’. It was a single piece long
frock up to the knees. Even today, they can be seen wearing a half pant
that reaches just below the knees. People usually comment that he is
dressed like a ‘pader’. Baking was a profitable profession in the old days.
The baker and his family never starved and they looked happy and
prosperous.
