HI Bernard, No offence man, but since Chef isn't with us anymore i am lets say Im his ''spokes person'' I will ask you what chef would definitely have said to you ......" ""Arre Patrao, why are we looking at a glass half empty ,why not half full? so much for your "Goenkarponn'' If you have witnessed the years when i played the drums (One year only not really important ) why not add to the content ? This boy (Lesley ) wasn't even born then ""
(And i would second him for certain) We don't have to be ''know it all'' to pen from the heart''--------------I'm immensely touched so is Chef 's family and close friends.that's what Lesley has done-----------he touched our hearts like many who loved him so.. Lesley's piece on Chef Fernando Da Costa is undoubtedly straight from the heart... and its a very apt description, a very emotional one and most importantly its sincere. Its also very clear from the onset that the writer approached the subject from what was dearest to Chef and also the reason why they met and bonded-------GOAN CUISINE Its very apparent from his ;;header''To a time that was: remembering an unusual chef from Raia (Remembering a ""CHEF""/not Remo's drummer!!) The article does mention his wife Margarida (He was married to Imelda Tavora's daughter!!!! that's her.). Chef was a multi faceted , immensely gifted person. His dedication to all things GOAN cannot be summed up in one article. It will take a book.Chef was also his own person,i don't see any sense in ''Imelda's son in law'' /Remo blah blah.... Well There is a lot to CHEF fERNANDO I WILL LIST SOME FOR OTHER ''BUT THAT IS MISSING'' TYPES!! 1-------He PLAYED THE DRUMS FOR YEAR 2 ------ He PLAYED THE VIOLIN,GUITAR AND WAS AN EXPONENT OF THE gUMMOT N THUMRI.all HIS LIFE 3--------Founder MEMBER OF THE Goan CULTURAL TROUPE ''gAVANA'' 4-----former Right BACK football sALGAOCAR SPORTS club 5------FOUNDER Raia YOUTH assoc 6------Fernando's IS THE ONLY NON FIVE STAR PROPERTY TO BE FEATURED AS THE BEST PLACES TO EAT IN INDIA (4 years running) BY THE WORLD culinary SURVEY. need i go on?i think you get my point? it would be really nice if you could write about his times with the group Remo and companhia ---------------even i wasn't born then.... 7---------------Chef did not have kids and was very attached to his elder brothers children in the joint family he lived in and practically raised and guided the eldest niece n grandchild when his brother passed away at 46. i ought to know .i am her and I rest my case. Dev Borem Korum; Mog Assunim... Zena ps---------.i look forward to your piece on my uncles one year as drummer. 2009/4/21 Frederick [FN] Noronha * फ्रेडरिक नोरोन्या < [email protected]> > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Bernado Colaco <[email protected]> > Date: 2009/4/21 > Subject: [Goanet] Goanet Reader: To a time that was: remembering an > unusual chef from Raia (Lesley A.
