REJECT TOPIWALAS FROM DELHI IN THE NEXT ELECTION.

Somewhere in early seventies when the renown Goan  journalist Frank Moraes The Editor in Chief of Indian Express was transferred to London as its correspondent by Indian Express, to a question by the Illustrated Weekly of India during his interview asking him, “what difference you found between pre and post Independent India, replied Moraes thus, “During European Raj we were made to adore the white skin and now we do the same for the white Delhi Topi”.

During Moraes time there  was only one white  Topi referring to Congress Topi but now we have one more white Topi of AAP. Besides these two, we have one more Topi of multicolour of BJP, this Topi changes its colour according to the need of the hour.  Hence t his Topi is most unreliable and those who wear this Topi are most dangerous persons.  All these three Topiwalas having their central command in Delhi if elected to rule Goa, will decide on Goan issues from Delhi just like Lisboa used to do during Salazar regime.  Is it worth to entrust our issues into the hands of people beyond our borders who do not have any knowledge of Goan issues properly?

We drove away Salazarist regime because we did not want outside interference in our affairs from Lisboa but will it be correct on our part to allow Delhi Topiwalas to decide what is good and what is bad for us?  If yes, then where is our freedom to decide our fate? As it is, the way Salazar government  of Lisboa rejected our wishes in the same manner BJP government of Delhi Salazar rejected our wish of Special Status for Goa even after promising the same for us. Under premier Modi, the BJP government is the government of the Liars and it will always lie us.  Hence, we must reject BJP in the coming election.

In view of this, I feel in the coming election we must prefer those parties having their high command in Goa only.  One Topiwalas after ruling Goa for so many years have destroyed Goa and the second Topiwalas are like Hamlet, to be or not to be,  still indecisive on RP, Casinos, MOI and Special Status. Can we trust such outfits?  These are the AAP Topiwalas whose MLA’s in Delhi are fully immersed in corruption and Sex scandal.  Goans must reject them too otherwise they will turn Goa into another Delhi of sins and vices.

TIATRO "ANSWER" BY CONCEPTION DE TUEM.

Opening Scne

On 7^th of this month at Kala Academy Hall, Panjim, starting  at 7.40 PM, I saw the controversial Tiatro “ANSWER” written and directed by Conception de Tuem.  The attendance number was good but not full as some empty chairs were easily noticeable. 

Opening song

Everybody is aware how  much the heat has been generated thru this Tiatro in Goa  especially in Tiatro world.  Though I am not putting more light on reviewing it since so much has been written on it earlier by the media but I must say that this Tiatro is the most provocative and scandalous.  Though directly it does not refer to anyone but indirectly one can easily deduce ones conclusion.

Solo on Jr. Rod

Though some of the incidents indicated in this Tiatro are difficult to absorb yet its authenticity is doubtful.  The  character assassination of one female done in this Tiatro is not good. I don’t know what pleasure the writer and director derived by doing this.  Even in the hall among the audience I noticed most of the hoi-polloi type of audience were enjoying the character assassination in this Tiatro. It was meant for cheap audience who enjoy cheap story.  

Conception solo

Thru this Tiatro one thing one can notice, that is, there are two factions or may be more among the Tiatrists;  One faction comprising some prominent and seasoned Tiatrists who are adored by the audience while the other faction consists of new comers who are yet to make a dent in audience circle.  In this faction there are a few Tiatrists jealous of the other faction Tiatrists who are already on top.  Some of the Tiatrists in the second faction are frustrated for not being able to be on par with the first.  To release their frustration they are rendering “Zupattis” against some powerful in the first faction.  By doing this they hamper their own progress because Zupattis and scandalous Tiatros will never elevate any Tiatrist in the eyes of seasoned audience though a handful of cheap audience may applaud them. 

History tells us that Zupatti singers and scandalous script writers ultimately suffered misery while they were alive only while others died premature death. Since the inception of Tiatros, factions among Tiatrists have developed leading to the downgrading the image of this beautiful art.  

Political solo

Now, because of gaining supremacy in Tiatro fraternity, Tiatists have fought verbal and physical battles, actual and tiatrical thereby creating a big scandal resulting in Zero gain. Now time is come TO STOP RETALIATION.  Actions like TIT for TAT will not do anything. Zupatti for Zupatti will lead to disaster.  There are clever brains in Tiatro fraternity and they must work for reconciliation. Huge bodied Tiatrists must not use small brain for their development.  Zupattis and scandalous Tiatros is the pleasure of third class Tiatrists who got no right to degrade the greatness of Tiatros.

Duo by Andrew & partner

We have to save Tiatro for posterity because thru Tiatros our society and community have benefitted a lot.  Because of the anger of a few disgruntled Tiatrists we cannot afford to lose Tiatro. In order to save Tiatro we must put an end to our fights otherwise our fights will put an end to our Tiatros.
