An amazing set of brothers - Redmond and Sigismond, who belonged to a large family of countless brothers and sisters - all the boys' names ending with "….mund" and all the girls' names ending with "…berg". Both brothers were good on the field, especially football. Reddi I remember also had illusions of being a singer with the pop hit Pat Boone's "Louella" being one of his favourite renditions.
Sigismund was extraordinarily talented too, free hand art and illustration being his forte. Cannot forget how he had drawn on the blackboard the torso of a wrestler in combat stance with bulging muscles and super-imposed Mr Kasappayya's "Laxman head" on this wrestler Torso - just before the poor teacher was to take his period. I think we all know what happened after that. I had interaction with these Sequeiras off and on for some years after that, especially in Saklespur in the vicinity of which our parents owned coffee estates.
