Hern�ni Mour�o was a young Portuguese agronomist going about with his work at Pilerne when he was picked by the bharati invading forces in 1961. In the 50�s and later on Goa had to face the bharati blockade. Mour�o was experimenting with rice shoots imported from Japan and Malaysia. For six months Mour�o was placed among other POW�s at Ponda. Besides the hardships faced in such a camp, Mour�o says that he enjoyed the best xacuti prepared by the hindus. Today Mour�o has been the pillar behind the Goa Day celebrations in Lisbon since its inception in 2000. He is a regular contributor to the SuperGoa website.
