Three people in my life from Goa

I first became fond of Goa when Lavy Pinto became India’s number-one sprinter. His time for 100 metres was 10:48. My time was over 11 seconds.

At the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, one of the main pillars was also named Pinto. His wife was in charge of opening the main Ashram doors.

The third famous person in my life from Goa was India’s number-one tennis player, Leander Paes.
