CRISIS IN AAP.


It is with deep regret and chagrin that I write this piece to indicate my total disappointment over the crisis AAP is undergoing now in Delhi.  When AAP came into existence we had great hope that it will spread its wings not only in Delhi but also all over India to give clean and upright administration as per the aspirations of the citizens of India. But within a short time the aspirations of the people turned into nothing when its leadership failed to shoulder its responsibility responsibly by resigning abruptly of course to the disappointment of all the followers of AAP.

Still people stood by AAP again and gave AAP a resounding victory in its last election to rule Delhi with absolute majority.  While APP enjoyed absolute majority its followers in Goa danced on the streets with white AAP “Topi” thinking that in Goa too we will have similar revolution because people in Goa are totally dejected by the poor showing of BJP and all other political outfits.  Unfortunately, due to the internal bickering in the AAP in Delhi among the party stalwarts, the high expectations of the people have gone down.  In view of this, who else in India can save the people from the clutches of corrupt  and cruel politicians? I think AAP was the last and the best hope for Indians to get uncorrupt and upright people to rule India but that hope too vanished now.  In view of this, on whom now Indians will rely to get good people to rule in India?

In India, we have great stalwarts but none to rule India appropriately.  Some are meant only to win the elections while others to be very good in the oppositions but none to rule as per the aspirations of the people.  Under the great leadership of Gandhian Jayprakash Narain, Janata Party came into existence with high hopes to change India from worst to the best but within a short period Morarjee Desai’s government collapsed like a pack of cards thereby killing all the high hopes of Indians for better days.  This happened only because of the selfish greed for power of a few Janata Party leaders. 

Then came the political force in India under the leadership of another Gandhian, Anna Hazare who totally shook the Congress Party in India in general and in Delhi in particular.  As an offshoot of Anna’s movement, AAP was born and captured power in Delhi not once but twice but both the times failed the aspirations of the people not only of those who elected AAP to power but  also of those who were expecting AAP will turn into a savior for millions of Indians who are the victims of the maladministration of the current politicians. 

It is a very sad story of AAP happenings in Delhi now.  It was never expected from them to fight like this and thru this fight AAP leaders in Delhi totally killed the high hopes people had in AAP.  While the ugly events are taking place in Delhi, the AAP stalwarts in Goa cannot remain as silent spectators, they must raise their voice in unison loudly and openly too against what is happening in Delhi now, they must air their concern over the events taking place in AAP at Delhi. AAP has to be purified and if necessary in Gandhian style AAP stalwarts and supporters  in Goa must conduct a daylong fast at Panaji to pray for AAP leaders in Delhi to bury their selfish ambitions and have a peace among all its members. AAP by all means has to surive because it is the last hope for Indians to get better leaders and better governance.

END OF CONGRESS IN GOA.


The results of the recently concluded Zilla Parishad election gave a stunning blow to the Congress Party in Goa though it officially did not contest the election.  In the constituencies where Congress contested unofficially but backing their candidates from behind the curtain, it was a big humiliation for Congress Party headed by Goa’s prodigal son Luizinho Faleiro who in the name of Italian born naturalized Indian citizen Sonia Gandhi is trying to revive the prospects of the Congress Party in Goa.  According to my observation, even if hundred more Luizinho Faleiros try their best to revive the hopes of Congress Party in Goa, nothing will change.  It is a pity that this oldest party is facing extinction from the scene not only in Goa but all over in India as well.

In my Calangute constituency voters thought a very good lesson to Congress Party by sending its unofficially fielded candidate reeling down the canvas to the third position though a few hours before the election results, the local Congress leader foolishly predicted victory for his candidate. This action the voters have taken only to silence the revengeful voice of the Calangute Congress leader and not against the candidate who became an innocent victim of the sin of vindictiveness of his boss.

In view of this heavy defeat for Congress candidate the rating of Congress Party on the Barometer indicates that the revival prospects of Congress Party in Calangute constituency is Nil.  However, if any hope of revival is to come, it should come only by discarding the defeated, vindictive and arrogant leader from the constituency. He was responsible for Congress Party’s defeat in the last general election because people from the Constituency disliked his vindictive nature towards those whom he suspected to be his political opponents. While he was in power people were living in fear because of his vindictive nature when he should not be vindictive because he was elected not to take revenge on his opponents but to serve all judiciously.  Thru this defeat people indicated that vindictiveness, arrogance, revenge, corruption, bribe taking and womanizing will not be tolerated any more.

Being a Congressman myself from my student days, I feel hurt to see the Congress Party in Goa reaching to such ebb.  This has happened only because the affairs and leaderships of Congress Party in our villages and Constituencies have gone into the hands of wrong persons who are ignorant of genuine Congress culture, tradition and history.  Most of the current Congress Party leaders in Goa are fake Congressmen who embraced Congress Party only for their personal gains.  With such Congressmen in Congress Party fold, the Party will never  revive its prospects in Goa.  When John Fernandes took over the leadership of Congress Party in Goa it looked everything will move smoothly but when he was dethroned things started moving in the opposite direction and if Luizin Faleiro does not act straight with corrupt people in the Party, I am sure he will make a total disaster of Congress Party in Goa.  For this end Luizin Faleiro alone will be held responsible.

REMEMBERING YESTERYEARS TIATRISTS.

 
Yesterday, on 23rd of this month, I attended the “Remembering Tiatr Artistes of Yesteryears” Meet held at Tiatr Academy in Panjim, starting at 4.20 PM.  It was very thinly attended by the attendees, some of them were close friends  and relatives of the dead artistes.
Photos of the Tiatrits remembered
 
Total number of artistes remembered was 14, some of them were the wizards of Konkani Stage, namely J.P. Souzalin, Anthony D’Sa, Aristedes Dias, Alen D’Costa, Dioginho D’Melo, Greg de Candolim and Antonete de Calangute.  The persons who described them and their works were M. Jude Gracias and William Fernandes, both these faces are too common on this platform.  According to my information, this is the paid job since Tiatr Academy of  Goa is granted financial aid by the Goa government. 
L - R: William,Gracias, Joerose & TAG Member
 
I have been attending these functions since a year now but never had I seen any speaker describing the philosophy of the artistes they speak of.  Neither have they quoted any attractive verse of their memorable song.  Just borrowing some details from history books and describing the artistes will not help.  Since it is a paid job, next time TAG must make arrangement to get best of speakers having best of knowledge to talk on the subset because TAG is financed by the government from the money derived from the public.   
Mrs. Perry
 
From the audience, one lady the wife of the late Patrick Perry came to the Mike to thank the TAG and expressed herself saying though she was opposing her husband yet she realized his greatness after his death.
                                      J.P.Fernandes recites a poem in praise of Anil Kumar
                                          
One member of the audience, Mr. J. P.Fernandes read a Poetry he composed especially in praise of the late Anil Kumar.

One minute silence was observed in memory of the recent death of young Tiatrist boy D.J. Gracias.
 
Ms Fatima was presented a memento on behalf of TAG for the contribution of the late Anil Kumar in the promotion of Konkani Stage.

SOLIDARITY WITH CALANGUTE BAGA RETREAT HOUSE.

Protest Meet at Baga, Calangute, in solidarity with the Retreat House situated at hilltop Baga, Calangute, Bardez, Goa.
 
 
Speakers seated at the dais
 
In a show of strong solidarity with Baga Retreat House in particular and Church in general, a huge crowd coming not only from Baga and Calangute only but also from the neighbouring villages namely from Candolim, Arpora, Nagoa, Parra and Sinquerim attended the public Meeting held at Baga, Calangute, today at 11.30 AM to protest over the illegal construction of road hampering the stability of the Baga Retreat House.  It is illegal because it encroaches upon the property owned by other Party. The director of the Retreat House openly disclosed that he or none from the Jezuit House has given permission to the person from Arpora to construct this road illegally which will endanger the Baga Hillock and may not only damage the Retreat House but it may also collapse.  
 
A section of the crowd attending the Meet
 
The beautiful Baga Retreat House was built by the Jezuits in 1953 and it is now like one of the Heritage Monuments and as such it should be protected by everyone. In view of this today’s meet to protest over the illegal road construction by the Arpora man with the backing of his BJP minister friend as given to understand,  was attended by all segments of Goan society and not by Catholics only.  Moreover, this Meet was also addressed not only by the Catholics but also by the non-Christians.
 
Another view of attendees
 
It was a galaxy of speakers including priests namely Pe. Vigars from Calangute and Candolim, Rector of Baga Retreat House, Rector of Bom Jesus Basilica, local MLA Michael Lobo, newly elected ZP Member Shawn Martins, Arpora Sarpanch, Adv. Aires Rodrigues and others.  All the priests spoke well like statesman lending their full support to get justice done, so too the others. It was an unanimous condemnation for the illegalities going on against the Baga Retreat House and full support for it not only from all the speakers but also from everyone who attended this Meet in solidarity with the cause of Jezuits of Baga Rereat House.
Illegal construction
 
It was very much shocking to know that the mischief maker from Arpora is a Catholic.  It looks my enemy is within me only.  How sad it is !! Judas sold Jesus for few Coins and we sell our religion for what?  To acquire thousands, lakhs and millions? To take it where? To the grave where our kings are eagerly waiting for us to feast on our dead bodies? Why we fail to realize that “dust we are and unto dust we will return?”.
 
Seen speaking Fr. Robin, Candolim Pe. Vigar
 
While on this subject, I remember one more mischief done to Baga Retreat House in late sixties  when Hippies illegally took possession of this Retreat House and converted it into a den of vices including illicit sex.  They were directed to this holy place by one half mad Goan,  Tomy by name who later on died a very miserable death.

Michael Lobo seen speaking
 
When these Hippies who were about a hundred refused to vacate this House, me and a few College Boys from Calangute some of them were Hindus, went to vacate them by our youthful physical power, we tried to force them out but suddenly their number swelled outnumbering us. 
Adv. Aires Rodrigues
 
In view of this, they came with Sticks and other weapons to hit us, targeting me the first but by the grace of God we were saved due to our escaping hurriedly from there. Later on after a few days, some of those Hippies became mad while some others were afflicted with some deadly deseases and a few of them died miserably.  Then everybody said “they were punished by devine punishment.
 
Shawn Martins speaking
 
The lesson to derive from this truth:  “NEVER PLAY MISCHIEF WITH DEVINE PLACES” because as it is said in Konkani: “DEVACHEA MARANK AVAZ NA”.
 
Seen speaking Arpora Sarpanch

TIATRO "JEZUCHEM POVITR ROGOT".

 
“Jezuchem Povitr Rogot” Tiatro I saw it in Candolim on 19th of this month in the Church School Compound at 8.15 PM tough the scheduled time was 7.30 PM and it was well attended by the Tiiatro lovers.
 
Annie Quadros sings solo
 
The writer and director of this Tiatro Simon Gonsalves deserves compliments for bringing out a good Tiatro in this season, in fact it is one of the best Tiatros so far I saw in this season.   Simon Gonsalves is a seasoned Tiatrist who spent many years in Kuwait where he not only acted in the Tiatros staged by many directors but also in his own Tiatros he staged in Kuwait much to the satisfaction of the Tiatro goers. As a Tiatrist by playing different character roles and singing good songs composed by him only he earned name and fame for him.
 
Carmen & Simon Gonsalves in road scene
 
His other speciality is introducing very good scenes in his Tiatros, not only in his Tiatros but even helping other directors in introducing attractive scenes in their Tiatros.  To beautify the Tiatros with very good scenes was his top speciality and the late Rosary Ferns was one of the best beneficiaries of this talent of Simon Gonsalves in Kuwait.  One of the reasons for his Tiatro “Jezuchem Povitr Rogot” to become so famous in so short time was the introductions of beautiful scenes. He is very artistic in this particular field.  After the late Prem Kumar, I can easily rate Simon Gonsalves as the best director in this art. 
Jr. Nelson sings solo
 
After working in Kuwait for a number of years he migrated to UK where he is now settled down with his family but regularly visits Goa on holidays.  During this holiday he staged this Tiatro which is very educative as far as family disciplines are concerned.  Though it is more on the passions and sufferings of Jesus Christ yet I found it equally important in the matter of family life.  It tells you how you must maintain your family life once you are married. It shows you the bad consequences resulted on your children if the wedded couple splits. This is where this Tiatro scores more marks and it is a must stage in every village in Goa because in every village such splits are occurred either intentionally or unintentionally but resulting in the disorderly behavioral impact on their children.
 
One of the Scenes
 
In many of our villages including in my own village in Candolim there are so many such scenes shamelessly exhibited by some shameless married couples.  Some of them are regular Church goers and recipients of holy Communion yet great lovers of broken marriages because of this their children  are suffering.  Worst part of it is this that the local Priests attached to the village Churches are keeping their silence when they as priests got all the rights to take corrective steps even punitive measures.  But instead many of our Pe. Vigars and Pe. Curs are flirting with such marriage deserters who are living in perpetual sins. It is a great honour for some Tiatrists like Simon Gonsalves to do what priests cannot do.  It must be noted very well that those who are deserting their spouses finally face most miserable, most pitiable and most sorrowful  end.
 
Saby de Divar sings solo
 
Some are taking recourse in official divorces.  Divorces from where?  From the Altinho Church purchased from Aldona Padri?  Only the “Rostad” Padris are encouraging and promoting divorces.  We must know one thing that there is no divorce in our system because it is said that “marriages are made in heaven” and as such “what is made in Heaven no power on earth can break it”.
R. Benaulim & Ignatius sing duo
 
Since this Tiatro is going to be staged elsewhere I desist from giving details of it but request everyone to see it because it is worth seeing and request the director next time to introduce at least one Motet in  such Tiatros. However, I highlight the roles played by evergreen heroine Annie Quadros, Simon Gonsalves, both the young boys, Juzu and Carmeen.  In the comedy roles, both the ace comedians Agostinho and Selvy as usual did justice to their roles.
 
                                              Trio of Juzu- Saby de Divar-Jr. Nelson 


In the side show songs, Jr. Nelson, Annie Quadros, Rosario de Benaulim and Saby de Divar rendered good solos while Ignatius de Xelvon and Rosario de Benaulim rendered a good duo and a Trio by Jr. Nelson-Juzu-Felix de Divar.

PROTEST AGAINST JUDGE IN MAPUSA.

 
Today at Mapusa in front of the Civil and Criminal Court, at 9.30 AM a Dharna was held in protest against the continuation of her duty when the Judge Dvijple Patkar was charge sheeted for, reportedly committing an offence against one of her family members. When the Dharna was in progress, the accused Judge Dvijple Patkar was performing her duty in the Court delivering judgment, ironically when she was found guilty for committing an offence.   
Judiciary at Mapusa
 
One section of the attendees
 
Whether she is really guilty or not will be decided by the competent authority but filing a charge sheet against her spoils her image as an upright person to perform her duty judiciously.  Even in the eyes of the Lawyers her image will be very small now compared to her mighty judicial post.  In such a situation, it would have been better for her to submit her resignation or go on long leave or for the concerned authority to dismiss her from the service because her image as an upright person is already tarnished which is very bad for the smooth and upright functioning of the judiciary.   By all means she must remain “above suspicion” in the eyes of everyone. 
 
Poster of Judge Patkar
 
Today’s Dharna conducted under the leadership of Adv. Aires Rodrigues made mockery of the judiciary in Goa.  If there is Dharna like this against a functioning Judge then what is the integrity of Judiciary in Goa?  Thru this Dharna the Judiciary in Goa was brought to the level of a Fish Market when passersby on the main road were laughing at the whole scene.  It was very sad to see such a pathetic state of affairs of our Bharati Judicial system.
 
Another section of attendees
 
The Dharna was attended by over a hundred people from different segments of the society including some Gulf returnees namely Miranda of AVC from Kuwait and this writer.   They all were ferocious in their continued slogans such as: EK DO - EK DO – PATKAR FEK DO.  HAI-HAI-HAI  -  PATKAR CHUHA HAI.
 
 
Aires addressing
  
Before ending the proceedings, the leader of this move Adv. Aires Rodrigues speaking to the gathering asked the concerned authorities to dismiss Patkar from her service to uphold the dignity of the Judiciary.

POSER FOR CALANGUTE ZILLA CANDIDATE.


One of the persons contesting the coming Zilla Parishad Election on 18th of this month will be Baba Kerker unofficially backed by Congress Party, he is the Congressman being the President of Calangute Block Congress – I Committee. Being a Congressman there is every possibility for him to imitate his local boss in playing all the dirty games once elected though he may act upright.  However, even then I as a voter and concerned constituent of Calangute Constituency would like to pose some questions to Kerker before deciding to vote for him.  It is not me alone but along with me there are many who also would like to pose these questions to Kerker.

1: Like your local boss, if you are elected, would you act vindictive against those whom you suspect not voted for you?

2:  Like your local boss, if you are elected, would you act like a proud Saddam Hussein with the impression that you won not one Seat in your constituency but the entire world?

3:  Like your local boss, if you are elected, would you demand bribe for the public services you are going to render?

4:  Like your boss, if you are elected, would you act like a local Dada inculcating fear into the minds of the locals?

5:  Like your boss, if you are elected, would you indulge in all round corruption even to the point of practicing immorality?

6:  Like your boss, if you are elected, would you like to support the Ghanttis in the locality against the locals? 

7:  Like your boss, if you are elected, would you act as a godfather general of the Ghanttis in your village Candolim?

8:  Tell us before the voting day your Manifesto to know you and accordingly we will decide whether to elect you or not.

BASTARDISATION OF GOAN POLITICS.


Bastaradisation of Goan politics started by the Goan Bastard politicians is now reached to its peak and from this peak to retrieve it back to its normalcy is very difficult unless all the legitimate Goans of legitimate Goan parents work very hard fearlessly to defeat all the candidates backed by the Bastard leaders in the coming Zilla Parishad election.  These bloody politicians established in their respective constituencies especial settlements of “Ghanttis” as Vote Banks for them by providing them all the facilities even to the extent by denying many of these facilities to the locals.  Numerically Ghanttis are strong and as such their votes are more important for their bloody leaders to get themselves elected, these leaders they don’t care much for Goan voters who are more  concentrating on their own politics based on their local principles and ideologies.

Thus, those who are getting the votes of Ghanttis are getting elected.  These Ghanttis and Migrants are not interested on Goan issues, they are interested on their own survival and money making ventures.  Thus, the bloody Goan leaders are getting elected and ruining our beloved Goa.

There are non-Goan settlements came up in this way in many parts of Goa including in Margao, Dabolim, Ponda, Taleigao, Vasco and Candolim thru the blessing of the local leaders mainly the Congress leaders.  In my village there is one Vaddo called new Araddy where at certain spot it was converted into a colony of Ghanttis who are conferred with naturalized citizenships of Candolim by the Congress leaders thereby giving these Ghanttis voting rights also but nobody knows whether they have cancelled their voting rights in the places and States from where they came to settle down in Candolim.

These Ghanttis are acting like “Dadas” with the support of their anti-Goan  leader who is a Congressman and in his latest “hate locals” speech in Konkani to these Ghanttis,  he told them “to beat the locals who clash with you so badly to the extent that even break their bones and maim their bodies”.  Then the same Congress leader who is a shame on Congress Party which was promoted and developed by Ghandiji who preached the gospel of non-violence, tells the Ghanttis “do not come to me without implementing my command otherwise I will beat you.  You don’t have to worry;  I have spoken to the Police as well.  I will take care of you because I need your votes for my candidate who is contesting the coming Zilla Parishad election”.  Incidentally,, the candidate is keeping his silence thereby giving an impression that he is fully supporting violence.  In view of this how the voters will elect him?  Voters do not want violent candidates but they want decent and civilized candidates.

Now I have my question, if this Congress leader is so bad and so violent, how the hell Luizinho Faleiro flirting with him thereby giving a very ugly image of Congress?  Will Luizin Faleiro revive the hopes of Congress Party in Goa as a whole and in Calangute constituency in particular with the violent Congress leader? It looks Congress in Calangute constituency coming to a stage of R.I.P. The local Church leaders must know this fact well and put some Christian sense into the head of this violent Congress leader who is seen too much aligning with the Church leaders by offering the Church activities with financial doles. 

The local ruling Panchayat body owing its allegiance to this Congress leader must also take some blame on them for supporting blindly this violent Congress leader.  One of the Panch members of the ruling segment is seen in the Church daily and even receiving holy communion but incidentally and regretfully supporting blindly every act illegal and violent of this Congress leader. Externally these monsters are showing that they are the followers of Jesus Christ but internally they are the followers of the Lucifer.

In the coming election of Zilla Parishad the genuine Goans who are the real sons and real daughters of their real Goan fathers must unite not to vote for the candidate backed by the Candolim Congress leader who is supporting the non-Goan Ghanttis to beat, to maime and to finish the locals.  It is time now for the locals to finish the Congress leader in Candolim by finishing his candidate in the coming Zilla Parishad election otherwise this same Congress leader who as an anti-Goan preacher of violence will finish not only local Goans but also other Goans from other parts of Goa. 

It is a challenge to Luizin Faleiro and the entire Congress body in Goa to investigate this matter thoroughly if Congress revival is to take place.  I was a Congressman much before the local Congress leader could come into Congress fold and as a Congressman I oppose the association of this Candolim Congress leader in the Congress fold with violence.

Separately, I am communicating this to Congress High Command in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi as well to inform them that Congress Party affairs in Goa are gone into the hands of violent leaders  and “goondas”.

TIATRO "SANDLELIM FULAM" BY LAWRY TRAVASSO.

 
On 12th of this month, Thursday, at 10.00 AM, I saw the Tiatro “Sandlelim Fulam” written and directed by Lawry Travasso, at Kala Academy Hall, Panjim, attended by the capacity crowd. This was the unique record created by Lawry Travasso in the recent history by staging this Tiatro on odd day of the week.  This indicates the good image the director has created of his talent into the minds of the Tiatro goers.  It also indicates the courage of the director in holding this Tiatro on the odd day of the week.
Lawry Travasso singing his solo
 
Like Portuguez poet Camoes, Lawry introduced innumerable proverbs and for that matter all beautiful proverbs in this Tiatro, also like the late Prem Kumar used to do to beautify his Tiatros.
Rosy Alvares singing her solo
 
The story pays great tributes to the priests for their enormous sacrificial work in the service of GOD and humanity.  The small role of an old aged neglected priest played so appropriately by Lawry Travasso himself is worth admiring.  The major and main role of a priest played by Tari deserved highest compliments even though he is a Hindu by religion.  His way of walking, talking,  Cassock wearing were superb.  By playing this role so perfectly well he won the hearts of the entire audience. 
A scene Tari and M.Menezes
 
Willy in his character role of the PA of MLA once again proved that he is capable of playing any given role with utmost perfection while Mario Menezes dazzled the audience by playing the role of corrupt MLA. 
A scene: All 3 comedians seen 
 
Lovely Antonette de Maina the main attraction of the Konkani Stage currently,  played her roles as a young girl first and later on as a Nun very well.  As a young girl she charmed the  audience with her charming dress code. While seasoned Rosy Alvares played her role as an aged mother very well bringing tears not only in her eyes but even in the eyes of the audience.  The sorrowful Canto she rendered was just a class by itself not only in the appropriate words but in the attractive serene delivery as well.
A quarter seen singing
 
The comedy part was handled well by the three ace comedians, namely John D’Silva, Bryan and Richard.  The last named with his flexible body moves and acrobatic actions stole more show.  His comedy is very impressive and he wins the hearts of the audience.
Ant. de Maina & Mario 
 
In the side show songs many of the songs were based on religion and the persecution Christians are facing currently under the BJP rule.  Peter de Arambol’s both the solos were very well rendered with perfect clarity while both the solos of Lawry Travasso were well accepted by the audience.  The quarter of Francis de Tuem-Xavier Gomes-Marcus Vaz-Lawry Travasso was hugely applauded by the audience while Rosy Alvares rendered her solo beautifully.  The duet of Tony de Ribandar and Antontte de Maina brought an extra flavour to the side show songs. Marcus Vaz, Xavier Gomes and Francis de Tuem rendered their solos well while the comedy duo of Bryan and Richard was fabulously applauded by the audience.
 
Duo of Bryan & Richard
 
 
As a whole this Tiatro is worth seeing and worth admiring
