Good luck to Ken with the flag. But I guess the chap is a bit igno on the
birthplace of his parents. Goa and Delhi are different places and were
different
places.

NEW DELHI: Ken Pereira, a hockey veteran of Indian origin, has been selected to
carry the flag for Canada at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games.
The two-time Olympian's family hails from Goa, although he was born in Toronto,
and he is naturally thrilled to lead the 225-member strong contingent in New
Delhi.
"I'm just picturing that moment...of holding that flag and walking out having
300 to 400 Canadians behind me," Canadian newspaper The Globe And Mail quoted
Pereira as saying. "It's especially sweet because it's the birthplace of my
parents. We still have a lot of family over there and I'm sure they'll come out
and support the Canadian team," added the 37-year-old, who captained the
Canadian team in the World Cup in New Delhi this February.
