Explanation:
The writer presents a pen-portrait of a traditional Goan village baker who still has an important place in its society. Elders still think fondly of the famous Portuguese loaves of bread. The family tradition is still carried on even today by the new generation of bakers or pads in Goa. Even today, marriage gifts are meaningless without the sweet bread or the bol, just as a party or a feast loses its charm without Goan bread.
