Well said Willie Severes on Herald dated 23rd March’11, It’s indeed a pity that the very people who preach, practice the opposite, I admire our Tiatrist fraternity, I do enjoy their songs and the messages that are conveyed through their Tiatrs. It is the Tiatrist fraternity that has protected and projected our Mother Tongue Konkanni. I love our Tiatr culture but I am sorry to say that their singing songs against our corrupt politicians or the Tiatrs that expose our corrupt politicians are good but not enough, they should go further and do it with conviction to prove that they mean every word they say and sing. I pray to the Tiatrist fraternity to boycott all functions where these morons are invited as chief guests, even if it means a big pinch in the pockets. That would prove beyond any doubt what they mean what they say.
I live in Dubai and as I said I love our Tiatr culture but unfortunately I and a few of my friends have stopped going for Tiatrs because here in Dubai too this imbecile are invited as chief guests, Goans in Goa are fighting wars and battles against these corrupt politicians and some Goans in Goa and overseas honour and pamper them. Isn’t that aghast ? In a few days time the PWD minister and the CM are invited to Dubai to give away Konkanni awards, a pro Marathi and a Konkanni traitor who has left Konkanni and Goa drying in the hot sun while at their costs they fills their barns. This is what we Goans stand for and support. We certainly get what we deserve.
