On 24th of this month in goa-kranti we read the report of the Mega Event held in Kuwait and organised by AVC Kuwait. From the photos published along with the report give us an impression that attendance wise the event was most successful so also in all other aspects, the attendees came not only from AVC citizens working in Kuwait but also from elsewhere. Kudos to organisers AVC for organising such a Mega event in Kuwait.
AVC is a group of 3 villages, namely Assolna – Velim – Cuncolim. These villages are very prominent since a long time now and the citizens of these 3 villages are very energetic and dynamic. They love Goa and Goan causes. To create such an awakening of their existence and activities in a place like Kuwait is not a joke. It all shows that AVC Kuwait is manned by strong persons.
Today what we see in Goa is deGoanisation process going on in full scale. Our land and properties are rampantly purchased by non-Goans. Inspite of having lot of wealth in our hands still we cannot discard the temptation of selling our land, properties and houses to the bales of Notes showered by much richer customers coming to Goa from Maharastra, Delhi and other places in India. Our weakness for the craze for easy money is totally exposed to Non-Goans who want to purchase Goa by purchasing our land. Non-Goans are using their money power exactly the way the Jews from Diaspora used to purchase land and properties of the Palestinian Arabs in Palestine during those days and finally making the original Palestinians as slaves of Jews in their own land.
The Non-Goans will gradually purchase our Goa fully of course with the backing of our politicians whose greed for money and more money is beyond my understanding. We Goa settled Goans gradually will turn into slaves of Non-Goans in our own land. We may not be able to completely eradicate this menace of Non-Goans settling down in Goa and initiating their entrepreneurial activities but surely we can minimise their hold on us by buying our own properties and starting our own businesses by ourselves.
We in Kuwait itself we have so many village based associations like AVC. I am sure in its register AVC must be having at least 50 members. Their unity is very strong and so too their love for Goa. From my experience point of view, Saxtikars have shown more love for Goa as their patriotism towards Goa and Goan causes is much higher. The AVC – Kuwait should join their hands together and collect money from every AVC member and purchase land and properties in AVC Goa. Even barren land they should purchase and thereby retain their land in their own hands. If possible, they should form an official company like Public Limited Company and float shares for their villagers and construct Hotels and other small ventures in AVC just like we did in Calangute under Gulf Goans Hotels Company in 1979. Land has no elasticity, it is fixed. If outsiders purchase our available land, time will come our future generation will have nothing. With individuals we will not be able to penetrate in this sector but jointly by pulling our financial resources we can do so much. AVC I feel is capable of giving a lead to other such village based associations to purchase land from their vilages and start commercial ventures in Goa. It is better to embark on such activities while you are employed in Kuwait because money flow will remain uninterrupted.
While suggesting AVC to go ahead I also suggest to other Goan Associations based not only in Kuwait but also in other places and countries in the world. We have many such associations in the World where Goans are settled but they are sometimes seen doing only charitable activities in Goa. While doing charitable work they must also think of protecting Goa by holding Goan land in their hands.

AVC'S "THIS IS IT" ROCKED KUWAIT.
!!!! THIS IS IT !!!! ROCKED KUWAIT WITH ALCATRAZZ, NIRMANA AND DJ’s J‘’Amazing show‘’ commented US Embassy guests. ‘’Awesome’’ chirped little Kelly. ‘’The best organized show in Kuwait with the best band Alcatrazz’’ smsed Gasper Crasto. ‘’Alf Mabrook’’ beamed Khalil Beloushi‘’. ‘’Beautiful Show’’ said Mr. John Dsa from Qatar. ‘’ Give us more’’ the guests at the venue roared etc etc. These and many were the remarks belted out by the guests who attended the event titled !!!!THIS IS IT!!!! in the Al Andalus Hall at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Kuwait on 16th November 2010 presented by international organizers AVC-Kuwait in collaboration with the famed event coordinators Dreams Entertainment.
The event kicked off at 9.30pm with the maverick emcee Floyd stirring the crowd with his powerful voice and frame. ALCATRAZZ from Goa started the proceedings taking off in style. The crescendo was maintained by the Srilankan band NIRMANA by providing a short but electrifying fusion and ALCATRAZZ took over playing nonstop music to the guests who did not want to leave the massive dance floor even for a minute. The hall was packed to its brim with guests trickling in as late as 11.30pm. The organizers made elaborate arrangements for the guests to be at ease and the wrist tags a first of its kind in a major event in Kuwait at the entrance for all the guests ensured discipline and man management.
The Kuwaiti guests were enthralled by this outstanding performance and were seen enjoying the event along with the guests from other countries. This event brought many nationalities together in unison. The classy crowd enjoyed each and every moment of the proceedings. The organizers had the privilege to host the guests who had come to Kuwait to attend the NRI Goan convention including John D’Sa and Simon D’Silva from Qatar. There were prizes and surprises given away ranging from air tickets to electronics to household items to restaurant vouchers etc during the entire duration of the show. The show was captured live by Raoul and can be viewed at RAOUL's Picasa Web Album - This Is It.
The mouth watering snacks and sumptuous buffet provided by the Chef of Crowne Plaza Hotel enlightened the event further. The organisers had to bring the curtains down on the mega event at 5.30am next day after 8 hours of absolute and nonstop entertainment and thus fulfilling the promise of ‘’ One wild night’’ made to the guests.
The organizers would like to thank the all the sponsors, Alcatrazz, Nirmana, DJ’s Flip, Roshan, Marlon, and Brandon, Emcee Floyd, the guests, Gabriel Fernandes, Christopher Fernandes (IFFK) Gasper Crasto and Gasper Almeida of goa-world.com, goanet, indiansinkuwait, Arab Times, Mr. Veronica Fernandes of goa-kranti.blogspot, goancauses, Hotel Crowne Plaza, members and families of Dreams Entertainment and AVC-Kuwait and all those who contributed to make this show a stupendous and grand event.

MANUEL D'COSTA ON KIFF & IFFK - KUWAIT.
from:Manuel D'Costa
to: goa.kranti@gmail.com,
IFFK and the hidden act of false propaganda
I, Manuel D'Costa, challenges the person who wrote all false about me to come face to face and dicsuss this issue.
They then shifted base to Shuwaikh grounds, by colluding with the person who was banned from KIFF for indiscipline. Once the ban was removed again KIFF was driven out by the ground authorities and the person responsible was the same person who shouts on the ground like a Mad …
A.My dear freind whether I was banned or not its not your problem.This was purely a revenge taken by the ex President and then the sports secretary of KIFF Derreck Gomindes. I still remember saying I would take revenge on these two guys though I was a spectator they had no rights to send a letter to me. If they know the KIFF constitution or they were iliterate. I knew my ban would be lifted one day or the other. Yes I did help not only the KIFF as well as United Goans Centre to conduct the tournament smoothly. I felt why not help for the sake of football. Yes you can call me mad but your family is not supporting me. There more people shouting on the grounds and having a joy of a time or even for that matter the self styled writers on e-forums that does not consider them to be mad. If you all have a issue withe KIFF then sit across the table and sort it out and don’t write tales about who is doing what. Don’t put me in this picture and hiding under a fake email.
This person still owes IFFK the money that was paid to him for getting the grounds ready last year.
A. In what way do I owe money to the IFF. Please come if you are a man come any place u want and i will face you. Dont try to spoil my name and if u do get info from one side check with the person on the other side whether its right or wrong.
This ground I was running around for the last three months for Don Bosco so that we could have our own tournaments and the money generated would go to the clubs and there are many who have heard this and they can be a witness to the issue. Dont open your tardy mouth babble anything what u like. Thats all I have to tell u the rest assured will see when u come face to face.
This is the same person who was kicked by three clubs during the last four years for indiscipline and has now joined KGA and as they say ‘’ Birds of the same feathers flock together ‘’.
Listen my dear friend I dont care what people have to say. I walked out of the clubs due to many reasons. What the clubs were paying me ask them I have spend a lot of money from my own pocket but never asked them any penny back except in AVC the only money I have asked is for the soap Football which Mr Xavier asked me to pay and I called him through Mr Kevin and he paid me. I did not produce bills of the other things I used to purchase for their (clubs) request. So Pls do not talk nonsense my friend get your facts together and then write. The three clubs if they say that they threw me out for indiscipline. I would like to ask Mr Xavier of AVC wether he threw me out of AVC for indiscipline as for Veterans I dont need to ask them anything as if they say anything like that they were all indisciplined themselves. As of Don Bosco I walked out not for any such reason you mentioned but go and ask the President my friend.So my friend looks like you have had an interview with these three clubs about me and then u write all this.
If who ever as wrote this about me and has the guts to come forward I will surely confront of this issue. Please ensure that I do not write to a funny person who wishes to remain anonymous and hidden. Expose yourself fully.
Now my Friend Regarding me joining Kuwait Goan association its my wish where I join.Nobody tells me what should I do and no one is supporting me.I hope you very well know that everyone has a past and everyone has been drunk and come and spoil others fun.Yes I do agree Mr Salvador has had his past and yes he did abuse me in the past but my friend instead of helping him aned many others we should learn to forgive them.So why are u so bothered where I join and what I do its my personnel affair.
Mr Salvador Dias and Mr Carmo Santos why dont you write about them.They are doing a fantastic job helping the indian community specially the Goans in sending their bodies back to their loved ones.Write about them the trouble they go through with the paper works. Dont bring people family into this issues leave them alone and write who has done wrong and write.You are not worth writing back. At times they even leave their loved ones at home and get things organised let it be dead bodies maids issue and many more.
I Manuel D'Costa and my Family takes this opportunity to thank both of them for the wonderful job they are doing for the goan community
If you people have an issue with the KIFF please write about them or do what u want with them and dont put my name in the issue.
Thats all I have to say.Wating to meet you if yoiu have the guts. I dont have to say anything to anyone but to you as you are the sender.
