Do u by any chance remember that we had another Ozzie Sequeira in our class too? Wonder why no one's said a word about him so far....
Any one with any clue to his whereabouts?

I don't remember any Ozzie Sequeira, but we have a Ozzie Lobo my neighbour. He was in the same class till we got into the english medium in 1st. form. Then he studied in Padau high school and then I lost touch with him untill many years later I met him by chance after I returned from Africa when he told me that he had settled down in the Western Ghats somewhere. Thats the last I heard from him. We also had a Ozzie Ferenades[cashew] but in the higher class.

I could b mistaken, but somehow have a clear picture of the other Ozzie Sequeira in my mind's eye - fair and lean fellow with a congenital swirl of his hair grains pattern along the forehead hair line above one eye! Could this Ozzie S and your Ozzie L be one and the same person? ....especially since the second OzzieS i am thinking of also came from Nantoor/ Padau side?!!!!!
Cashew Fernandes's Ozzie Fernandes was a year junior to us...
Strangely, I can picture your mother too - and the fancy cycle which perhaps u brought from Africa to cycle to school when we were still in the middle school - which you used to park at my house because other students used to meddle with it on the school premises. Arun Talwar too has vivid memories of some escapades with you on this bike.

I think you are refering to Ozzie L. He was lean and slightly off fair colour. I think an attempt should be made to track Shankar Bhat 'the bus owners Son', who used to live opposit Pinto's big buglow on the road from Balmatta and Bendoor, Sitharam the fastest sprinter of our class and the middle school, Baptist [Batthi] who used to live just outside St. Aloysius boarding house gate on the way to the court from Prabhat cimema side.The store is not there any more.Then we had Two Subraya Shenoys, One was a Jewellers son living in Bendoor and the other in Urva whos father had a grocery store.
It is heart warming to know that you guys remember my famous cycle,It was nice of your parents to allow me to park my 'Mercedes Benz' at your house. It brings back warm memories. Bailur had a three speed cycle and as we were great friends we used to exchange our cycles for days at a time. My mouth still waters when I think of the sweet and sour 'Ambade' fruit that we used to eat from your back yard.
