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.
