Hi Mario, I read with interest your two posts today:

Do you mean your brilliantly successful entrepreneur cousin Vincent Fernandes in Houston, who is a graduate of Bombay University is a "muscle head" ? what kind of badmouthing of a cousin and hockey goalkeepers is that ? I know your equally successful hockey-playing cousins Mark and Steven Fernandes are engineering gradiuates of IIT Kharagpur - like me, a hockey goalkeeper - and BITS Pilani respectively. Apparently this and all the grief you give to Goanetters is the result of all the concussions (macro and micro) that you got playing soccer for school and college in Jabalpur - withall the headings, etc. ! You should have played hockey goalkeeper instead - that way you could have even played top level hockey (not just university level), got into IIT and gone all the way to get a doctorate !

I have relatives there, visit there every year, and I believe one of my cousins, Vincent Fernandes, was also a hockey goalie for St. Stanislaus. I KNOW from my own friends and experiences that East Indians are indistinguishable from Goan and Mangalorean Catholics. > In the Detroit area near where I live we call ourselves GEMS, which is an acronym for these three communities which are like one. > BTW, because of your numerous references to the "good Doctor", it may help to clarify that the good Doctors's expertise is in the narrow field of systems engineering, in which he has a Ph.D., as you will see if you Google his name, and not in medicine or any of the social sciences:-))) > >Mario, > > > > > > But George Bush Never played top level hockey or > > > represented St. Stanislaus as a goalkeeper.
