Summary of A Baker From Goa (NCERT)

A BAKER FROM GOA

(Class 10 Chapter 7, NCERT)

Portuguese influence is quite strong in Goa. There, you can still see examples of their customary labour. The bread prepared by the Portuguese is renowned. The bread bakers are accessible. The author recalls the baker visiting their acquaintance during his early years in Goa. He once made two daily trips to the house. He roused them up in the morning with the jingling sound of the bamboo. Everyone sprinted to greet him. The house servant's manservant made the purchase of the loaves. Bol, a sweet bread, was a favourite among the peasants. Without it, the marriage presents had no purpose. So the most important object in the village was the bakers' furnace.

On the occasion of her daughter's engagement, the lady of the house made sandwiches. Back then, the bread vendors wore a special outfit called a "Kabai." It was a long, single-piece dress that reached the knees. They still appear to be wearing a partial pant that ends just below the knees today. He frequently receives comments about how he looks like a "pader." In the past, baking was a lucrative job. The baker and his family appeared content and rich, and they never went hungry.

With this unbelievable power at their hand the daemons become mad with greed, lust and did many horrific things that a normal person wouldn’t dare even to think. Seeing these havoc, all the devas approached Lord Shiva to put to a stop to it, then an angered Shiva rose and destroyed all the tree purs showing his immense strength and power, thus the name Tripurari(An epithet of Lord Rudra). The devas rejoice their victory, hence the Dev Deepawali . In earlier days, the celebration for the Dev Diwali started from the day of Ekadishi TIthi of Kratik Shukla Paksha and it went till the 5 ...
