KUWAIT KONKNNI KENDR REMEMBERS PAI TIATRIST.
To mark the 61st death anniversary of the father of Konkani Tiatro, Joao Agostinho Fernandes who is called "Pai Tiatrist", Kuwait Konknni Kendr on Friday 29th of this month held a meeting in Kuwait city and paid homage to the Pai Tiatrist. KKK's members namely the president Elvino Rodrigues, Entertainment Secretary Rosary Ferns and A. Veronica praised the Pai Tiatrist for burning the light of Tiatro amongst us. That light is still giving bright light and will go on giving more and more light in future too.
It was also discussed in this meeting about the poor condition of the house of Pai Tiatrist in MArgao, Goa. In this regard KKK feels instead of relying on Government doles at this juncture, it is better that all Tiatrists join together and organise some shows of their Tiatros in Goa to raise funds for the renovation of the house of Pai Tiatrist and to preserve it for posterity. Let charity begins at home. Because of Joa Agostinho Fernandes' tireless endeavours today Tiatro is progressed and Tiatrists are surviving and enjoying the benefits of the seed sowed by Pai Tiatrist. Can any Director/Tiatrist take an initiative in this direction?
It is also suggested in the meeting to renovate the house of Pai Tiatrist, preserve all his items he used during his lifetime and convert it all into a centre for visitors and tourists to make them aware of this great Goan personality. In UK, the Easy Chair where William Shakesphere was sitting is still preserved for posterity to see. Visitors are coming there to see the great Easy Chair of Shakesphere. Let Joao Agostinho's house be somewhat like Shakespher's Easy Chair. Tourism departmnet of Goa should take note of this.
Goa based Tiatrists has done a wonderful job in awakening the Goa Government to honour Pai Tiatrist. KKK in its meeting lauded their efforts.

BEIJING OLYMPICS.
BEIJING OLYMPICS.
Well done communist China in successfully organizing the just concluded Olympic Games at Beijing. The massive sporting show on earth was well organized by the massive size country with massive population whose expertise and labour power was used massively by the communist regime. According to experts and organizers, never in the history such a massive show with meticulous precision was put on display as Beijing has done. Communist China deserves compliments not only in organizing so beautifully this Olympics but also in winning massive haul of Medals, Gold Medals being highest in number amongst all the medal winning countries. In this way Communist China has overpowered its rivals USA, Russia, Germany and other top medal winning nations. The myth that was ingrained in our minds that only the rich industrialised nations can win more Medals was shattered beyond recognition by Chinese competence. Their methods of training should be emulated and put into use by other nations that are still struggling to win a single gold medal.
In the initial stages before the start of the Beijing games it looked Beijing Olympiad would turn into a total fiasco because of the Tibetan protests, Islamic insurgency and protests from Human Rights activists. With the exception of minor skirmishes, the host country encountered no confrontation during the entire sporting show from anybody that warranted major tackling. Kudos to Dalai Lama for standing by his promise that “Beijing Olympics must go peacefully” and in fact as per the wishes of His Holiness, Beijing Olympics went peacefully. His contribution in this aspect should be appreciated. He is a real peace loving man. His followers should also receive credit for not creating any problems in Beijing during this greatest sporting festival. Now it is the turn of Communist China to reciprocate goodwill to Dalai Lam and his wishes for his people to give them some sort of autonomy that helps them to protect their identity as Tibetans.
Though China gained in Medal haul and organizing successfully this Olympics yet it lost at Tibet level in the sense that because of hosting of Beijing Olympics thru their demonstrations and protests all over the world the cause of Tibet and Tibetans was exposed with greater fury and greater exposure. Those who did not know the sufferings of Tibetans and snatching away of Tibet through force by China they came to know clearly the whole history of Tibet. The world is now more equipped with perfect knowledge of the question of Tibet, its people and the exile of Dalai Lama. Thanks to hosting of Beijing Olympics, Communist China lost miserably over the Tibet issue. Posterity will hold Communist China responsible for liquidating Tibet, its culture, tradition, history and everything related to Tibet thereby disowning communism and sending it into eternal limbo. .
Every Olympics create sporting genius in one genius or number of genii and Beijing Olympics is not an exception. In earlier Olympics we saw Owens creating sensation in Berlin Olympics even by humiliating Hitler thru his sheer excellence in track events; so also Emile Zatopeck in middle distance, Vera and Nadia Comaneci in Gymnasium, Mark Spitz in swimming, Carl Lewis and many others. Similarly and with greater glory at Beijing Olympics we saw Phelps in swimming and sprinter Usain Bolt creating new world records. These two athletes are really super humans because what they achieved was normally not achievable. But thru their achievements one can easily conclude that with the latest scientific and sophisticated training methods one can bring one’s body to any level. With the more advanced methods of training one can bring ones body to the Robotic condition without uprooting human attributes from human body.
Another important factor that came to the fore at Beijing Olympics was the dominance of black power especially in field and track events. So also the athletics power of smaller nations some of which were not even known outside their arena. It is now confirmed that sporting success is not based on the power of the nations possessing Atom and Hydrogen Bombs only, it is also now confirmed that the sporting success is not based on the huge size, huge population and huge industrialization of the nations.
