Contact Rosario Fernandes - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Roland, I will give you references to a book by a famous author which influenced Nehru's statement about "Goa, a land land of Cooks n Butlers" Your challenge is not an even deal and I am not that much of a sucker for such - one month in sunny Florida is a great holiday in heaven on earth for any Canadian. One month in Chilly Ontario (or NY or Northern USA for that matter) is a trip to purgatory for any warm-blooded Goan / Floridian. And in Florida beer flows freely in any gorcery store or corner convenience store. In Ontario, you gotta go to a State Store through all that snow just to get a case of beer ! If that's not hell, then what is ? I will research and send you more info on Nehru's "Cooks n Butlers" statement. Best Regards, Dr. Carmo D'Cruz Indian Harbour Beach, Fkorida. ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 15:32:19 -0500 From: "Roland Francis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] Nehru and Goa To: Goanet <goanet@lists.goanet.org> Carmo, In your post entitled "Manohar Parrikar and IIT Joint Examination" you said: Quote We have had that stigma for over 50 years now - when Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru proclaimed to the nation and the world after Goa Liberation Day "Today we got Goa - the land of cooks and butlers" Over 50 years later, our youth still relish and aspire for the cooks and butler jobs as a career choice ! That's gotta change for the Greater Glory of Goa ! Unquote If you can satisfactorily prove Nehru's above-mentioned proclamation, I shall volunteer to cook and serve (cuzner and botlayr) in your house in Florida for a month. If you cannot, you are expected to do so likewise at mine in Ontario. Will you rise to the challenge? Cheers, Roland.
