Tara and Michelle chat with Clyde D’Souza about how he captures the essence of Goan villages, food and culture in his latest book Susegad: The Goan Art of Contentment. We’ve joined #PodForChange to raise donations for Covid relief. Donate here: www.auwa.in/podforchange
Clyde talks about all things Goa! From the free ferry system to why Goans like fish curry and mango pickle! He calls Susegad a ‘self-happy’ book. We discuss the meaning of the Konkani word ‘Susegad’ and his favourite stories and recipes from the book. Tara loves how this book captures the history of Goa and takes us into the Goan village life. Michelle loves all the anecdotes he shares, like when his aunt gets a coconut plucker to pluck 500 coconuts in 20 minutes!
How did he fit short stories, recipes, and doodles into one non-fiction book? How does he practice Susegad on a daily basis? Tune in for a relaxing chat that takes your mind off the pandemic!
