From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mario, I heard Zubin Mehta also wants to be a Goan. What qualifications are reqd to be a Goan? Carlos Maybe a nanny who was a Goan? At least a school-teacher? What about having had a holiday in Goa three decades ago? After all, ZM is not just about any poverty-striken migrant who is coming in for drudge work and physical labour. And, we Goans do have differing strokes for differing folks -- in a word, discriminatory standards. FN ..

RE: [Goanet]Engelbert Humperdinck... and Chennai
These facts have been known for a long time, in Bombay and Delhi circles. There is also Sir Clifford Richard, who was born of British parents, at the foot of the Himalayas. Nasci Caldeira From: Frederick Noronha (FN) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Goanet]Engelbert Humperdinck... and Chennai Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 00:06:31 +0530 (IST) Did you know that singer Engelbert Humperdinct was born in Chennai?
