Derek Almeida

Writer

Former editor of ‘The Goan Everyday’ who retired five years ago to discover the true meaning of susegado. While on the journey to finding bliss, which is an ongoing one, he found time to write for a Delhi-based magazine, ‘Civil Society’ and try his hand at cooking, a work in need of a lot of progress. Started his career as a journalist in ‘OHeraldo’ in 1988 and worked in every English newspaper in Goa. Also wrote a long-running humour column, first known as “Black and White” and rechristened as “Footloose”. Served as first editor of the Goa 365 news television channel, and helped build it into a strong brand. He now writes short stories and has several in stock, all awaiting interesting endings. When doing nothing, he immerses himself in PS4 games.
