Dear Anthony,
I have read a few articles every now and then since a few years that were written by you. Just a couple of days ago, I was forwarded an article about Boyer by Mariano Pereira our Ex General secretary ( Goan Association Germany E.V ) .
Couple of things came to my mind after reading the article, a few years ago the G.A.G had invited a Goan Musical show comprising of Antonette Jo`se Rod, John D’silva, Augustine Temudo, Rosy Alveres and Succorine. The following day after the show, we were at Mathano’s place for a Get together and Succorine mentioned exactly what you have written about her (Mathano Gracias, if you remember at Arpora). Secondly, you may remember me for a rescue operation you did for me near Menino Goes’s House, where you had to brake some Spokes to free my Leg out of the Bicycle Wheel and poor Nacimento who was riding my cycle frightened and blue not knowing what to do ( Nacimento used to be a natural Comedian). Well it is pretty late over here. If you have the time do visit our web site at goa -germany.org
Best regards
Vito Oliveira,
Germany.

Agnello re-elected Navelim President for the 13th time
|
This is the 13th time in 22 years of the club history that Agnello is elected president. At the Annual General Meeting of the club held at Village Inn on 26th June 2009, the financial accounts were presented to the house by the Treasurer Mr. Peter Colaco and duly approved. Newly elected General Secretary Duarte Ferrao highlighted NYC's fame throughout the Middle-East. He stressed the need for unity among members and pledged members to help take Navelim to higher heights in years to come. In his speech Agnello thanked the outgoing committee and stressed on the continued need for co-operation and support from all members to carry out the social, cultural and other activities of the Centre. About Agnello A. S. Fernandes Born in a small scenic place of Aquem-Alto, Navelim, Agnello completed most of his academic career at Guardian Angel School, Sanvordem, and later attained a distinction in English Literature, an achievement in itself during those days in Goa. Ever since coming to Kuwait, Agnello has worked for some of the top most Investment Houses. At present, he is the Assistant Vice-President (Funds Administration & IT) at Gulf Custody (Investment) Company. A Silver medallist at the All Kuwait Photography Contest conducted by JVC in 1987, Agnello has used his lens "for personal satisfaction only." A natural humorist at heart, Agnello believes that "life s best things come in small packages..!" On quieter days Agnello enjoys watching soccer. The dynamic leader lives with his lovely wife Neeta and children Allan, Allison and Alisha in a closely knit family. Newly elected General Secretary Duarte Ferrao gave a brief glimpse of the events, programs and sports activities to be chalked out by NYC during the new season. Following members were elected to the Managing Committee for the year 2009-2010: President: Agnello A.S Fernandes Vice President: Luis D'Silva Gen. Secretary: Duarte Ferrao Asst. Gen Secretary: Bernard Fernandes Treasurer: Eusebio Fernandes Sports Secretary: Avelino Dias Asst. Sports Secretary: Gasper Crasto Team Manager: Britto Pereira Asst.

The main objectives of the centre are to promote sports, develop friendship among the Indian communities in the Gulf and to provide social services to the poor and less fortunate brethren back home in Goa. Proceeds from benefits out of activities undertaken by Navelim are regularly sent to charity homes of old age people. NYC Football team has made its mark among expatriate Indians as one of the best teams having won all major tournaments organized in Kuwait. The team has travelled to Bahrain, Qatar and Dubai to play football matches with other expatriate Indian teams and highly praised for skillful football and sportsmanship. |

Dear Veronica,
I was wondering if besides the quality of the Konkani Dramas, is it also the careless attitude of the Contractors that is seeing the dwindling of Drama audiences in Kuwait?
Isn’t it time our contractors got more professional and did the following:-
1) Start the drama on time (or at least 15 minutes late, any longer than that is unacceptable)
2) Do not exceed 3.5 hours (seats are so uncomfortable)
3) The interval should not exceed 10 minutes
I know a lot of money is involved in a drama, but somebody must take the initiative. My daughter refuses to attend any more dramas with us because the whole process takes about 5 hours and she has no patience.
It’s just a thought.

Dear Mr. Veronica,
I have a request for you in case if you happen to know the organizers of the below mentioned show. Please request them to have a proper sound system so that everyone enjoys the Tiatro to its maximum. It was a horrible experience at the last show (20th June 2009) where people occupying the back rows had to strain their ears to hear the words. Looks like the organizers are only concerned about people sitting in front as nothing was being done even after being told very clearly to improve the clarity of the sound.
This has become a regular feature with these organizers in the past as they do not bother to improve and I am sure the day is not very far when people will start walking with the back speakers (which do not function) out of the hall. After all everyone pays to watch the drama and people are not asking for something more. If possible please highlight this issue on this forum in future. It is becoming increasingly disgusting.
