With all this discussion of who does what (or who) for Goa . . . .
Take a moment . . .
Our friend from Moira, Santosh Pednekar, appears on the Indian version of
"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" and towards the end of the programme had
already won Rs. 50,00,000.
"You've done very well so far," said Amitabh Bachan, the show's presenter,
"but for Rs. 1 crore you've only got one lifeline left - Phone a Friend.
Everything is riding on this question...will you go for it?"
"Sure," said Santosh. "I'll have a go!"
"OK."
"The question is: Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest ?
(a) Robin, (b) Sparrow, (c) Cuckoo, or (d) Crow"
"I haven't got a clue," said Santosh, "so I'll use my last lifeline and
phone my friend Benny Coelho from Mumbai. He's a Moidekar, but since he was
born and brought up in Mumbai he's very smart and knowledgeable. "
Santosh called up his friend in Mumbai, told him the circumstances and
repeated the question to him.
"Arree Baba Santosh!" cried Benny, "Simple yaaar...it's a cuckoo."
"Are you sure, Benny?" asked Santosh.
"Arrre bhai hundred percent sure maaaan! Pakka!"
Santosh hung up the phone and told Amitabh Bachan , "I'll go with Cuckoo as
my answer."
"Is that your final answer?" asked Amitabh Bachan.
"Sure, Sir!"
There was a long, long pause, then Amitabh Bachan screamed, "Cuckoo is the
correct answer! Santosh, you've just won Rs. One Crore!!!"
The next night, Santosh threw a big party for all Moidekars at the Moira
Club. Benny was specially flown in from Mumbai as the Chief Guest.
When the time for speeches come Santosh takes the mike and asks Benny, "Tell
me, Benny? How on earth did you know it was the cuckoo that doesn't build
its own nest? I mean you know precious nothing about birds otherwise."
"C'mon yaaar! Baskya!" laughed Benny. "You Govans are so foolish yaaaar.
Everybody knows a cuckoo lives in a clock!"
