George,
Very true. George Bush family also hails from Goa. Bush family comes
from Moira, their Aryan ancestors had migrated to India during the
Aryan invasion and then settled in Gomantak, now called Goa.

All,
I was doing some non-historical research at the Panjim Central Library
this
morning and this is
what I learnt:
Zubin Metha was born Zerome Mendes and grew up in Salcette. As a young
boy,
while playing at
Colva beach, he got the idea to become a conductor and took the stage
name Zubin
Metha. It is not
well known that his first job was a bus conductor on the Vasco-Panjim
route
which inspired him to
Philharmonic conducting. In fact, a bus conductor job inspires most to
anything
except bus
conducting.
Englebert Humperdick was born in Chicalim. His birth name was Joao but
when he
visited Benaulim
some people called him John. To avoid any confusion and a
Portuguese-English
conflict, he settled
on the name Englebert Humperdick which is spelt in Romi Konkani as
Englebert
Humperdick. He used
to hang out in Vasco as a teenager where the girls ignored him, hence
the song A
MAN WITHOUT LOVE.
Cliff Richards was born in Anjuna. His birth name was Richards
Fernandes. As a
young boy he played
by the Anjuna cliffs (this was before greedy developers stole the sand
and the
cliffs collapsed).
His parents used to yell out and say "Cliff, Richards" to warn him from
going
too close to the
cliff's edge. Hence the name Cliff Richards. He often visited his
summer home in
Moira over the
school holidays, hence the title of his new album SOMETHING'S GOIN ON.
As a
matter of fact, all
of us know something is going on in Moira, we just don?t know WHAT is
going on.
Mahesh Gopalnath took the Aldona ferry as a young man and like his
extensive
posts, his ferry ride
converted into a long, meandering voyage to America where he took the
name Mario
Goveia upon his
initiation into the white-Christian party (Republicans as Howard Dean
calls
them). However, his
primary motivation for the name change to a nice Catholic sounding name
was to
confess his
cyber-sins.
To the non-Goans (and hidden spammers) on this list, please know that
everyone
is a Goan, all the
world is Goa. Classified archaeological research soon to be made
available
under the Freedom of
Information Act will show humankind originated in Goa. The Book of
Genesis will
show Goa was
created in 6.5 days (perfection takes awhile), the rest of the
imperfect world
took half a day.
So know you know the truth.
Regards,
George
