Let’s Talk
This particular page has been created to allow for an open forum for Musomians.
Very similar to Musoma Club for the men folk and the ‘Otlo’ for the women folk, the picnics atop Musoma Hill and Mkoko Beach, the social gatherings during the year.
Please use the comments section of this entry as a way to share your comments, ideas, suggestions, and even and more importantly, criticisms towards making MusomaBlog, truly;
|Our Connection|.
Use this page and comment section to ‘interact’ with fellow Musomians. Use this to talk about anything and everything under the sun!
Just imagine a nice cold ‘KoKa Kola’ or a ‘Vimto’ with some ‘garmaa-garam’ ‘Chhotu na bhajia’ and comment below!
It is amazing that within two weeks we have almost 700 hits on Musoma Blog !
The names I have seen here responding to all the obituaries are of many who I did not imagine would log on !
Please pass the message to all those who are not aware of Musoma Blog and ask them to register !
Harshadbhai,
You are right in your observation of, firstly the number of visits to this site and secondly, on the people who have actively interacted by posting their thoughts in the form of comments.
It is very encouraging to see this happen.
There are still many more Musomians who are still not aware of the Musoma websites. Like Mzee Rao pointed out in his recent comments, each Musomian should try and get other Musomians involved.
Hope this particular phase, sad as it may be, can bring about a snowball effect in Musomians interacting with each other via MusomaBlog.com.
Your guidance, support and often times, very good advice is appreciated! Thank you.
In the next few days I will post some information on the statistics behind the number of visitors and the sharp increase that this site has seen. Some of the information will be quite interesting.
Wonderful technology and best wishes to you all for the new section.
About the Vimto at Mohamed Ali soda shop; I must add that we always drank it by putting ‘Karanga’ into the Vimto bottle. The ‘karanga’ was sold by Magoma in 10 cents ‘padikas’.
Magoma was the chap employed by Musoma Diamond Talkies who had to daily put a White Sheet Board with Blue writing – One at Natubhai J Vyas’ shop opposite market and one near a tree where the present NBC/Old Barclays Bank was. It showd name of Picture Timings and also was written in Blue Pen.
Jashwant
I remember Mugoma and he was taking this movie board to all the homes and get chai for this work
During my college days at Baroda, Koka-Kola was introduced in India. I too put some karanga in it enjoyed drinking it. So this all came from Musoma chilhood days.
I still remember Sundarji Maharaj no bafelo Mogo.
After i left Musoma I have NEVER seen “Papeta”. Where can i find in India? Yes, Musoma is missed in many ways.
I am very delighted to have accidentally discovered this musoma connection which incidentally has given a tremendous boost to my email address and rekindled sweet old memories of the unique family, MUSOMA. Kudos to everyone connected with the initiation of this blog.
By the way, you may identify me in the back row #6 of the Musoma photo.
Greetings to everyone !

Reply to Kiran Syal:
Dear Kiran, I just saw your note in ” let’s talk” and am so happy to find a connection to the Nanak Chand family! Not only did we buy a lot of goods in the store during 1961-1967, but I was often privileged to join your family for afternoon teas. Seeing the whole extended family gather after work ( the Store folk, the Doctor, the Banker ) with all the young folk under the loving care of the lady of the house made me realize how much we are missing in the modern ‘nuclear family’.
Nanak Chand lives in the histories of ( German )missionaries, whom he carried on credit while financial connections with their homeland were broken during wartime.
As for me, Grandpa showed me how to cure a headache by applying a twist with his fingers to my eyebrows.
Greetings and best wishes,

I would like to get the contact of Riyaz Jiwani, who now lives in Canada. Riyaz studied geology at the University of Dar Es Salaam from 1977 – 1980. Please contact me for more details. May commend who ever initiated this blog for Musoma. I took some a few minutes to read the comments and memories of the past. All these have shown me that the childhood life is much remembered by human being than the rest.
Congrats,
Isaac
Reading about the “Musoma” on this great website is one of the great wonders of this world we’re lucky to be living in. Never imagined I’d ever be able to think, write, or see, any thing about Musoma other than regular news from the mediocre media outlet…I have such fond memories of my childhood growing up in Kamunyonge even though I wasn’t born in Musoma but I spent few years there and left at the age of 10 but I still remember everything vividly. I’ve read other memories of other Musomians, I wish I could go back to those days one more time…
Salaam A Lakum
Its great to stumble on to this for it awakened in me the longing for chilhood home Musoma, which I left in 1967, for Nairobi and the onward journey to Scotland.
I attended the HRH Aga Khan Primary School, classes 6 & 7.
My father ABDUL KHALIL worked for Musoma bus and Tanganika Company.. He and His brother ABDUL RASHID used to,also on occasions operate the projectors at the cinema owned by the Musoma bus company I think.Am i correct in thinking that the some family who owned the bus company also run a vimto factory and the ferry on which I sailed to near by island for a eye test and glasses.
I also remember Mr Fariar the foreman or manager at the bus company and his son Bosco and daughter Maria
Do these things mean anything to you or you just wanna share memories please email me aslamkhalil56 at yahoo.co.uk.
Hi everyone , i agree with you guys that in million time i never think that one day i will be able to see musoma website. I was born in musoma. i went to school at mwembeni primary school.now i’m here in State. But i will never forget the best memories of my chilhood. I love musoma and i miss it everyday. I went to musoma in 2006 and i hope to go there soon with my son so i can show off my home sweet home. Love musomaaaaaaaaaaa.
Hello, all I am Hansa daughther of Anopsinh Sarvaiya, who may have been a teacher for a lot of you guys who leave messages here. I recognise some of the names as it brings a lot of the childhood memories back, Anyways, I am settled in London with my husband and family and would love to hear from anyone who still remembers me. I vaguely remember having academic rivalry with Harshadbhai Kothari in Std 1, back in early sixties.
Dear Hansa,
Yes, of course I can’t forget you. You were top of the class ! You got promoted one year ahead.
Your grand-father was living in Manor Park near us and we met your father at Musoma re-union.
Isn’t it amazing – last week Dr. Pandya’s son Rajesh contacted me from Ahmedabad last week he is a prominent dentist and a professor in Ahmedabad.
And now your message on Musoma Blog.
I hope to arrange a small re-union this year . Will be in touch soon. My email is harshad {[at]} sasconsultnacy {[dot]} com

Have you seen the Musoma Re-Union Souvenir published in 2002 ? If not, let me have your address and I will post it to you.
Good to hear from you.

If you lived in Musoma way back 1960′s 70, and early 80′s you can not go without remembering MZEE KASWAMIRA with his hand made clothes. he used to live at old Regional Block which was build by German.
by then there were only seven Primary School going by the names (with current names in brackets)H.H. Aghakhan(Mkendo), Nanak Chand (Iringo), R.C.(Mwembeni) , Muslim (Azimio), Menonite (Musoma), Mwisenge (same) and Nyasho (same). There were only two bus companies, namely United Bus Services and Musoma Bus Services.
Hi This is Kundan Gohil, I visited Musoma with my family in July 2008, this was the most memorable trip I have ever had. It brought some wonderful memories of my childhood, although Musoma has changed a lot. Everything seemed so small and the houses closer than I had imagined. I was only able to spend an afternoon to look around the whole town. I visited my school Nanak Chand as it was known and took photos. I also went to the house where I grew up in and asked the owners if I could take photos and video of the place. They were kind enough to allow me to take the pictures and video. I also visited my father’s shop, but could not exactly remember which one it was. I also took photos of my grand-father’s house (Dayalji Ramji Chudasama), his brother’s house (Popatlal Ramji Chudasama). We walked around the market and bought some vegetables. The locals were a little bit uneasy for me to take a video of the market and said that I have to pay to take the video. Luckily I had someone who lived locally to walk around with me and also my husband Mukesh spoke fluently in Swahilli even after 30 years, so they left us alone.
I also took photos of the Jamat Khana and finally went to the Mandir in the evening with my daughters. It was very humbling to note that the same tradition is still kept since I left Musoma. All the locals gathers in the evening at around 7.30pm to do satsang and aarti. The wonderful memories flooded back when we as children used to play outside on the slides and swings. We used to climb the wall between the Mandir and the Gurudwara to pick fruits. The older men used to sit at a table playing cards and the young male adults used to play volleyball. I will try and post the photos soon.
Unfortunately, there was no one who we knew living in Musoma. The day that I left the UK, I heard that Kasimasi had passed away. Her son came to visit us late in the evening when he found out from someone that I was coming to Musoma, he thought that it was one of my aunt who had come.
My whole experience of Musoma was quite emotional, but wished that I could have spent more time there. The only disappointing thing was that when we stayed at the Afrilux Hotel, the food had bugs in it, lunch and breakast. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
@ Kundan Gohil:
I am sure all Musomians will agree when I say that it is wonderful reading your account of your recent trip to Musoma. Change is inevitable and I guess ‘our’ Musoma also will show signs of that change. But it was interesting to note that certain traditions still carry on – handed down over the years.
You mention that you would try and post the photos soon. That would be wonderful. would you please email the photos that you would like to share with all Musomians. Please send the pictures to email admin {[at]} musomablog {[dot]} com.
At this time, your Musoma visit description will be posted on the main section. The photos will be inserted once you send them through.
Thank you very much for sharing your ‘Musoma’ experience with all of us.
Hi Kundan:
I was in Musoma Dec. 2008 and you are quite right, the houses seem small, too close and streets are also very short. I also took a lot of pictures and lots of memories I have.
I went to an X-Mas party organized by new Musomiams and met Navin Barot there who was the only one you wopuld probably remember. The others are all new.
Afrilux is a good hotel, but I stayed with friends and so everything was fine with me in terms of food. But there are other good restaurants. I also had roasted corn (maize) on the streets and peanuts (groundnuts) from the black guy who spoke fluent Gujrati – I forget his name but many Musomians will remember him.
All in all, Musoma has changed a lot. The Jamat Khana, Mandir and Gurdwara have been maintained still and it is a credit for the people around there who have made such an excellent job.
How do you find musomians you have lost touch with? looking for a fellow musomian
You can add a comment in this |Let’s Talk| section with the name of the person you would like to get in touch with. Some details of the person you are looking for will also help.
Fortunately I stumbled upon this site while trying to get information on Mwanza and Musoma. I was born in Ngudu, Tanganyika.My father Chhotubhai L. Desai was a clerk in Revenue Department which involved transfers in Nyanza Province. That’s how I was associated with MUSOMA. My first learning step began in H. H. The Agakhan School in Musoma which began in 1937.
I studied there from !937 to 1942. My school friends were Harbanssingh, Mohansingh, Badrudin and others whose names I can’t recollect. Our school was located near Jamaatkhana.
Our family was closely associated with uncle K. K. Vasant. Shantamasi had given birth to baby girl named Chandrabala. I remember Nanakchand and his family. They had a daughter named DAYAKAUR who was studying in the same school but in a different class.
We moved to Mwanza in 1942 and I came to India for further studies. I did my engineering in Electrical branch. Could not go back to Tanganyika as there was no job opportunity at that time so I stayed back in India.
I am already retired and aged 80 yrs.
I am thankful for this site.
Hope to here from your MUSOMIAN members.
Love you,
SUMANT

I am trying to find a person who can help me locate WALJI families in Musoma.
2nd request.
I am specificaly trying to locate anybody who knew Jamal Hussein Walji of Musoma.
Thks.
Dear Anal Walji,
Thanks for your Let’s Talk.
Perhaps you may throw some light on your personal connection to Musoma-that will bring faster results in tracing Jamal Hussein Walji?!
I am afraid the name does not ring the bell but we all know Late Sadruddin Walji family who had a shop near Mahendra Store(Kantibhai)-Haidu Sadruddin Walji is in Canada a very successful businessman and may be someone try to contact him and pick up the threads leading to Jamal Hussein Walji?
I have forwarded this email to Mr Pyarali Amarshi Jamal in Canada who coincidentally bought Kantibhai’s Mahendra Stores next to Late Sadruddin Walji and may be he can help in forwarding the same topp fellow Musoimans of Canada?
Many thanks
Jashwant C M Rao
Hello all Musomians,
It was great to know this site and bring back all the memories from sixties . I was born in Musoma and was part of the Dattani Family. My Name is Vibhuti, daughter of Gopaldas Virji Dattani. My fond Memories of Musoma were riding my tricycle on the main street where the cars were a rare sight in those days. I used to go to Nanakchand Primary school and remember the Headmaster was Mrs Lobo. Also have the memory of watching all the black and white movies in the Theatre was a treat in those days. Also remember the dance competitions we had in our Mandir and the excitement of the prizes and the Navratri Garba as well. I was in musoma till the age of eleven and recentley revisited Musoma after 40 years. It will be great to meet everyone whenever the reunion is arranged. Pls keep us updated with all the news and the dates of the reunion.
It is after a long time that I visited the Musoma site. I am sittiing at the Toronto airport and I saw the AAish Thakkar story that led me to the Musoma site. I was deeply saddened by the news of the passing away of Shobhna and Hadi. Though belated please accept my sincere condolences
and prayers MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN ETERNAL PEACE. I promised myself to visit this site regularly and await to hear from anyone that remembers who I am or who my family was from Musoma.
Dear Harshad and all,
It is great to hear about Musoma folks and the good memories. Most or them maybe still remember me (sagars son}, am now settled in mwanza.We have lots of musomeans in mwanza who if organize themselves can be great to meet misomeans comming after years.

Hello to all Musomians,
I recently found out about this website and was delighted to read that musomians still
keep in-touch. I was born in Musoma and have fond memories of Musoma including
Chotu’s bhajiya and vimto with karanga. I currently reside in Vancouver, Canada. After
departing from Musoma in 1977, I lived in Toronto and then moved to los Angeles for few
years. My family resides in Toronto. I was just wondering if anyone has information about
Subash M. S. Raja. He was one of my very best friend in Musoma but I don’t know
his were abouts.
Best wishes to all
