Absolutely, Constantino's father is from Fontainhas, Panaji, the capital city of Goa. Perhaps, Gabriel Figueiredo even knows his grandfather, Carlos Xavier. Constantino speaks Portuguese because he has grown up in Lisbon...perhaps that is what Gabriel calls Portuguese "extraction" ;-)). He was the boy who co-ordinated the celebration the World Goa Day in 2004 before coming to Delhi for higher studies. People in Goa will remember his column in the Rajan Narayan's "Goan Observer"
Viva Goa. Say it with feni. Miguel Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2006 09:35:00 +0200 From: "Jorge/Livia de Abreu Noronha" Hello Gabriel! Why do you say that Constantino is of Portuguese extraction? His father is Goan and his mother is German. Maybe (I'm not sure) he was born in Portugal. Jorge _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
