Vodlo Mouth Goenkar Constantine Hermann Cajetan Godenhio D�Mello originally from Canturli-Camurlim but now residing in Altinho, Ponje had the penchant for having a good time anim living the high life. Amcho Constantine samko shperto empregado asa. But, he used to drink quite a bit anim tea bair (to top it) tell his ghorcarn (wife) vodlem kanneos (tall stories) of his day�s experiences. Constantine claimed he did not waste his time with the little fellers with just a little bitty ol� talk. He said, �Constantine Hermann was very knowledgeable, made lotsa money and wuz running with all the heavy weight decision-makers in Panaji.� Constantine was a pobre fidalgos. His ghorcarn Dona Diandra Pierreliane was initially impressed with him but of late had enough of his borem vodlem kanneos.
One early morning, Constantine Hermann arrived home �high and tight�. He told his potim (wife) how he spent the night at the �Talk of the Town caf� and bar� at the �Top of the Mandovi Hotel� and she ocht tae see the place. He recounted how he was drinking Johnny Walker Blue and all with a view. He said the bar at the �Talk of the Town� had the finest Italian marble. All the doors had bhangarachem (gold) door handles. And anim tea bair even the urinal was bhangarachem. The wife Dona Diandra thought that this would be a good occasion to check out Constantine Hermann�s vodlem kanneos. With the encouragement of the sasumai (mother-in-law), when the morning arrived, the ghorcarn called the �Top of the Mandovi� where Constantine Hermann spent most of the night. Q: Is this the Top of the Mandovi Hotel? A: Yes madam you have come to the right place. How can I help you maam? Q: Can I speak to the bar tender at the �Talk of the Town�? A: Yes you certainly may! Let me direct your call. Q: Does the bar in the Talk of the Town have Italian marble? A: This bar has only the best madam. Q: Are the door handles bhangarachem (made of gold)? A: This is a regal place maam. Q: Is your urinal bhangarachem (made of gold)? A: �� Can you hold on the phone line madam? Arre Bosteaum, I think I have a clue on kon sussu kelo tujean Tuba (peed in your Tuba)!!! Moral of the kanneo: This vodlo mouth Goenkar talks a lot, works little anim bolsan ath ghaluncheak poixe caddunk, bolsam soglim polkim. The ghorcarn (wife) correctly deduced that he doesn't know a Tuba from a hole in the ground (Goenchi idiom). OR as my mother would say "Tho borem vodlem Xapotam sangta" (Goencheo Mhunn'nneo). Of course there are many hard working and successful Goenkars / Goans who like similar people all over the world are quite, diligent, focused and productive.
