Reginald Fernandes, Romanxincho Patxai

Reginald Fernandes 

Romanxi means Reginald Fernandes and that's what I thought  all this time..
It was only yesterday 14.6.17 I come to know that Reginald was also a fine professional musician and he had his own band too.  Besides,  he was also a good Lyricist, written over 80 songs some playing on All India Radio Panaji (Akashvanni Ponnje Kendr)
As for Romaxio, he had written about 200.  I too read some, example Colconda Kallo Chondrim, Ximtorintlo Khuris, Afrikantli Girestkai (?) etc Well, as I was not much into reading, I used to buy it (price was Rs.2 or 3) and give it to some young ladies in our locality who after reading, will narrate the whole story to me.

'Born in Siolim, Reginald Fernandes had written nearly 200 novels ‘romanx’ as they were then called. A reputed musician and singer, he played the violin and trumpet. Creating incredible twists and turns in his novels, Reginald left a lasting impression on his innumerable readers'
