Cajetan-Baab, Aikolam tum fuddem sorla munnon condolence meeting korpak sunkraradis somplele Baab Rosery Ferns ahche nanvan.
Who are you and what rights you have to hold the condolence meeting?? The only persons who have rights to hold the condolence meetings are A.Veronica Fernandes and the mangalorean commuinities and his close friends.
When Late Rosery Ferns wanted to join KGTS, you were the one who objected to his entry with diffirent quenstions and issues. When some of our Goan artists took part in Rosery ferns dramas, you were responsible to put ban on those artists and now in which face you are looking forward to have the condolence meeting in the name of KGTS?? Learn better.. give love,peace and smile while people are alive and don't give the samething while they are NO more among us.
Allow their souls to be rest in Peace. Again don't spoil the name of KGTS, GWS, KIFF, Goans and Sanvordkars in general. Wherever your presence and dirty mind is available everything goes wrong.
Three years back, you made a rule in KIFF at the expense of UFC, that no one should be allowed to become KIFF president unitl and unless the candidate completes 3 years in KIFF managing committee.. who cares........ Two years back you were hiding inside GWS skirt and slowly came out for one of the meetings and raised your hand out to remove some good members from the active membership.
Late Fr.Freddy D'Costa from Varca ( Utt Goenkara ) have given you TWO GULABS from two different gardens of GOA. One Gulab was loved by the Almighty and the other one is still with you till date in Margao, Goa. You would have never received such beautiful GULABS, if Fr.Freddy was not there at that time. You should be very thankful and greatful to Late Fr.Freddy D'Costa for giving you 2 Gulabs. As far as I know that, you did not give a single MASS for his soul by paying KD.1/- or KD.2/-
You can send condolence messages on internet because they are FREE of cost. Understand that, you don't have any financial contribution inside UFC and only namesake president because of this two strong pillars of UFC left for good and migrated to IFF.

Beloved ROSARY FERNS: Death of a Konkan Star
Gasper Crasto - www.goa-world.
Kuwait: January 12, 2011 brought in shocking news to Kuwait. One of the most beloved artistes based in Kuwait, and on holidays in Goa, died suddenly.
"It is hard to believe," sadness waved across the Gulf and the Goan world.
Rosay died early morning of 12th January. The funeral cortege will leave his residence Ferrao Estate, Grande-Vanelim, Colva, to Our Lady of Merces Church, Colva on 13th January 2011 at 4 pm for a eucharistic celebration and burial.
Rosary leaves behind his beloved wife Cassilda and children Cynan and Cullen.
A well-known Konkani star, Rosary Ferns hailing from Colva, Salcette, Goa, a long timer in Kuwait, wrote and directed 21 full-fledged Konkani Tiatros, 12 of which were staged in Kuwait itself. Besides tiatrs, he wrote a number of One Act Plays, Operettas, Mandos & Dulpods and countless songs. Allegedly, Rosary was the first person in the history of Goan-Konkani-world to produce the first Konkani CD which was done in Kuwait.
In all, Rosary has produced 13 Konkani Albums in the form of Audio Cassettes & CDs. His last Album 'Dinaracho Valor' was his last Audio CD. Additionally, he has produced 2 VCDs 'Kanvllo Roddlo Lozen' and 'Mogan Tujea Lasota'.
Rosary Ferns created history when his Konkani Drama "Kuwait Soddun Vetana" was staged in Kuwait by the Mangalorean Konkani community in a Mangalorean dialect in the year 2009. The original drama was in Goan Roman Konkani which was well received by the Goan audience as one of the best masterpieces of Rosary Ferns.
In August 2005, for his enormous contribution in the promotion of Konkani Songit Kala, Rosary Ferns was honored by the Mangalorean Association Konkani Kulvar, Kuwait.
A very humble and soft spoken person, Rosary Ferns strived through Konkani stage and cultural programs to bring about fusion of all the Konkani speaking people in Kuwait, Mangalorean and Goans in particular. In the past, he wrote and directed Songit Sanz under Kuwait Konknni Kendr.
Rosary Ferns is on record to have staged more Tiatros in Kuwait than any other artiste and all of his tiatros have been well attended and well liked by the audience. In fact in Kuwait, he created a special and very precious niche for him among the audience. For this reason his tiatros were handsomely attended not just by Goans but also Mangaloreans and other Konkani speaking people.

Rosary was gifted in writing tragic stories and his forte lied in composing tragic 'cantos'. As a matter of interest the readers should know that among the expatriate tiatrists Rosary Ferns is the only person who is known to be a great composer of traditional 'Mandos'. Some of his golden, original Mandos feature in some of his Audio Cassettes.
Rosary has immensely contributed to Konkani language with his rich tiatr scripts and songs. He has been, in his own way, instrumental in improving the overall standard of tiatr and taken the Konkani art to new heights. His death is a big loss to Goans and will leave a vaccum in the field of tiatr which will be hard to fill for a long, long time to come.
"His songs and compositions will remain with us always..." stated Francis de Verna, President of Kuwait Goa Tiatristanchi Sonvstha [KGTS] while a number of Goans and organizations in Kuwait have expressed deep sorrow at the untimely death of the star.

SHOW COMPASSION TO CHRISTIAN WOMAN.
Is there no compassion in Islam? Yes, there is. Islam is full of compassion, pity and forgiveness and because of these attributes Islam is admired, loved and followed by millions of people all around the globe. The recent killing on 4th of this month in cold blood of Salman Taseer the Governor of Punjab in Pakistan could have been easily avoided if the killer and his group had to show little compassion to the Christian woman Asia Bibi who was rightly or wrongly sentenced to death for blasphemy. The Governor of Punjab a liberal was supporting the woman Asia Bibi against this death sentence, he wanted this sentence to be commuted as he had his own doubts about the uprightness of this sentence. Being a small minority in Pakistan, Christians are facing lot of hurdles there, many times they are made to face troubles for no fault of theirs. The intelligencia in Pakistan is aware of this but they are not forceful in their resentment as the late assassinated Governor of Punjab who sadly had to pay the price for his straight forwardness. But one thing we must admit, while fighting for justice we have to face the gun shots till justice is delivered.
The killing of Punjab Governor on last Tuesday at Islamabad resembles the killing of Indira Gandhi by her own body guard who was supposed to protect her and also of Anwar Sadat the President of Egypt. It is sad to note that the protectors of VIP’s are become killers of VIP’s . In this situation how can we protect our leaders? Mr. Jinnah the founder of Pakistan if he was alive now, surely he would not approve of the killing of the Governor nor he would allow sentencing of the Christian woman Asia Bibi for Blasphemy. As a matter of fact was the judgment against Asia Bibi proper or was it one sided? In the past when judgment of death sentence against Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was passed, the judiciary was mutilated on the instruction of Gen. Zia who was hell-bent to liquidate Bhutto from this planet. Was Asia Bibi given proper hearing and was she equipped with best legal counsel? Coming back to Jinnah, his secular outlook and action were all well known. He was never a religious fanatic and those who propagate fanaticism in Pakistan are going against the principle of Jinnah who was more secular than the seculars themselves.
It is a pity that because of religious belief people of minority community is suffering in Pakistan. In many places in Pakistan Christians are treated as second class citizens. In order to humiliate Chritians Gen. Zia selected a Christian hangman Tara Masih to hang the late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Many of the people leaving Pakistan are Christians like what is happening in Iraq. I don’t think Islam propagates hatred for other religious communities especially the people of the book like Christians. Islam recognizes Christianity and as such those Muslims who try to show their hatred towards Christians in the name of their religious belief are doing disservice to their own religion.
How long the tirade against Christians will survive? Day by day Pakistan is going towards extremism. Extremists are pampered and adored. This will finally bounce back on Pakistan only either today or tomorrow and such religious fanatics and extremists will themselves liquidate Pakistan as it is existing now. It is not my wish to see Pakistan getting liquidated thru the power of extremism and fanaticism but something concrete has to be done to prevent this end. The radicalism promoted in Pakistan to teach a good lesson to India is now teaching a very good lesson to Pakistan only.
While concluding, let me quote Jinnah the founder of Pakistan where he shows his secular outlook and sense of justice towards minorities in Pakistan. And will ask the Pakitani religious fanatics whether they are worthy of Jinnah’s ideals.
“We are starting in the days when there is no discrimination, no distinction between one community and another, no discrimination between one caste or creed and another. We are starting with this fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal citizens of one State.The people of England in course of time had to face the realities of the situation and had to discharge the responsibilities and burdens placed upon them by the government of their country and they went through that fire step by step. Today, you might say with justice that Roman Catholics and Protestants do not exist; what exist now is that every man is a citizen, and equal citizen of Great Britain and they are all members of the nation.Now, I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual but in the political sense as citizensofthestate.I do not wish to take up any more of your time and thank you again for the honour you have done to me. I shall always be guided by the principles of justice and fair play without any, as is put in the political language, prejudice or ill-will, in other words, partiality or favouritsm. My guiding principles will be justice and complete impartiality, and I am sure that with your support and co-operation, I can look forward to Pakistan becoming one of the greatest Nations of the world". (Presidential Address to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan on11thAugust,1947).
" It will be our constant Endeavour to work for the welfare and well-being of all the communities in Pakistan, and I hope that everyone would be inspired by the idea of public service, and they will be imbued with the spirit of co-operation and will excel in their political and civic virtues which go to make a great nation and help to advance its greatness" (Speech on the inauguration of the Pakistan Constituent Assembly on 14th August 1947).
