Glimpses of India:

A Baker from Goa Introduction

‘A Baker from Goa’ revolves

around the relevance of a baker

in the Goan culture which dates

back to the time when

Portuguese ruled over the city

of Goa. The Portuguese may

have left but the bread-makers

continue to have an inevitable

stature. In this story, the author

recalls his childhood days and

their excitement on seeing the

baker. They were enthusiastic to

the point that they would run to

him as soon as they woke up

without even brushing their

teeth.
