Dice is an acronym. Dheeraj Inder Carmichael Espindao. I hope the curry at the baptism party is not a hotch-potch like his name, the priest had said during Dice’s christening. Indianisation of the Goan-Portuguese was high on Dice’s parents’ agenda. Hence, two Indian names, and one Western to go with the Goa-Portuguese surname. Once the galli boys had figured the name out, they called him Dice… and then for good measure, Dicey.
If you get a sister, they would taunt him, and you’re parents called her Saraswati Poornima Ines Espinado, you know what that would make her?, they went.
