I have been an IFFI delegate since the time IFFI began in Goa.

Hence I have most of the cataloguea from the first IFFI that was held in Goa. 

Now I am facing a problem because I don't have space in my house to store a lot of stuff which I had preserved because I thought they would be useful. 

So I am going to destroy the stuff which I don't want and amongst this are those old IFFI catalogues. Possibly someone among us might need these catalogues. If so let me know tout de suit. Otherwise I will destroy those catalogues. Even though I feel sorry doing this. 

In case anyone is interested please let me know quickly. Otherwise I will destroy the stuff.

Give them to one of those NGOs that make paper bags instead of 'destroying' them.
Some of the risque pictures would look good on a bag at the local general stores.

Cheers!

Augusto, you can definitely give the IFFI catalogues to Wendell. Or else, Goa State Central Library will accept them with thanks. Just write to Carlos Fernandes at curat...@gmail.com.

Today evening, Vinayak who drives Wendell's cars came calling to my place to collect some of the IFFI catalogues which I had missed giving him earlier came and he came with gifts from Wendell which included a book on the Communidades which I have somehow missed reading and I will read later, and also with an autographed copy of his memoir The Green Room. The Green Room is a book I didn't bother about earlier assuming it was about the fashion industry which I'm basically uninterested in. 

I discovered that while it is about the fashion industry and anyone who wants to know about it would be well advised to read this book it also happens to be a very well crafted memoir of a Goan of about my own age. 

I 'm at page 21 of The Green Room. It is about Terrace Building at Mahim which was where Wendell lodged as an infant. 

On that page Wendell writes and I quote, "We were banned from going to the long wing of the first floor of Terrace Building. Near the staircase, with its smooth wooden bannister, on which we took turns to slide down to the first floor, lived an old dentist and his wife. Beyond the dentist was a brothel of sorts. There was a brother who pimped out his sister..."

OK. Maybe I'll tell you the rest of the story later but if you're in a hurry to know what happened next then...
