Zubin then went on to study at St.Xaviers College in
Bombay, where he dropped out after the first year. His
dad's goal for him was med-school, his public excuse
was he disdained dissecting frogs, but it is known
that he clashed with a Spanish Jesuit on staff, and
has since turned down invitations to visit and offers
of citations. St. Marys has more humble origins: an
orphanage for the children of Irish sodiers. Mrs.
Nesbitt(Nesbitt Road! ), who paid for the structures,
did not want them raised in the Anglican Church.

Most boys of the early 50`s who attended the
Jesuit school St Mary`s
(Mazagaon) in Mumbai definitely know him as an
alumni of that school and a
member of the Parsi community.. After his music
career shot him to
conductorships in Europe ..he became conductor
of the famed Los
Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Any Parsee will
soon disabuse you fot hat
idea that he`s a goan
While many Parsees like other wealthy
Punjabis or Sindhis may have
bought property in the othe form of old goan
ancestral homes and even
classy new bungalows on the mandovi or other
villagesi`m sure
that recent acquisition of real-estate in any
village qualifies you to
be called a true Goan
twiga.

Carlos,
At the risk of starting a new urban legend, I have
heard that Zubin Mehta is already a bhatkar from
Sangolda (just kidding, folks).

Santosh,
Would you please confirm or debunk these urban
legends, please, before they get out of hand.
Now
Englebert who does not even acknowledge he is
an
Indian, as far as I know, and used to be an
Anglo-Indian from Chennai, has become a Goan
from
Cuncolim.
