BRUTALITY OF SAUDI MUSLIM DIPLOMAT.

After committing an un-Islamic act in India, by the diplomat of Islamic country of Saudi Arabia, he fled to his country.  I strongly condemn the said Saudi diplomat for stooping so low to brutally abuse and rape the two Nepali domestic servants.  This is one of the dirtiest habits many of the Gulf Arabs are having of raping their poor maids. I don’t understand  why this tribal habit still exists in these rich Arabs.  With their money power they can even purchase best of females but instead purely in a tribal manner they go after their poor maids as it is rampantly happening in Kuwait too. By committing such un-Islamic sacrilegious acts they are creating a bad image of their otherwise great religion Islam for which religion I have high respect

Indian government is to be blamed first for allowing the accused diplomat to leave the country by taking shelter in Vienna convention which should not be applicable to the crime of rape. Being bribable entities, I feel the concerned personnel in the MEA in Delhi must have taken bribe to allow the Saudi diplomat an easy exit.

Would Saudi government allow such an easy exit to any Indian diplomat if he had to commit similar or still minor offence on Saudi soil?  Saudia is a strict Islamic country whose citizens are disciplined to follow the very rigid Wahhabi Islamic codes.  But this Saudi diplomat by committing such a horrible crime against the two Nepali maids lowered the image not only of his Islamic country but more than that of the Islam that he is professing by praying 5 times a day, performing Haj and Umrah.  Such people are externally Muslims but internally worst than Jews and such Jews are plenty in the Gulf countries, more in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. 

 

Will Saudi government conduct a thorough probe of  this episode back at home of this crime committed by its diplomat?  I doubt. The central idea of Islam is justice and in tune with this principle of justice, I feel Saudi government must punish the said diplomat as per the Sharia Laws and compensate the maids for the what they have suffered. from the hands of this diplomat monster.  Only then the Islamic country of Saudi Arabia will give a correct impression that it is truly an Islamic country capable of delivering justice.  It is not enough to threaten the poor expatriates  in Saudia with Sharia Laws even for minor offences but these laws must be also applied to the said diplomat who has disgraced the fair image of Islam.

 

These Gulf Muslims when the matter of illicit Sex comes, they will stoop shamelessly to any low because they love something illicit without paying extra money. They consider maids as third class creatures but at the time of having illicit sex with these poor maids these traitors find these maids as first class creatures?  Shameless the rich Muslim Gulf Arabs are these. 

When these Arabs can commit such heinous acts in India then what worst acts they must not be committing on poor maids working on Saudi soil and elsewhere in the Gulf like Kuwait?  Worst of such brutalities in Saudia and Kuwait against the poor maids are systematically conducted  by their citizens without even due respect for their religion of Islam and as a matter of fact many of our Goan females were victims of such atrocities. Human Rights activists in Goa must do something on this subject.

TIATRO "ZERO" BY MILAGRES DE CHANDOR.

 

On 14^th this month at Panjim Kala Academy Hall, at 7.45 PM, I saw the Tiatro “ZERO” written and directed by Milagres de Chandor. The attendance was good but not full to the capacity as some empty seats were vissible.

Olga & Anil singing their duet.

 

It was a family story based on betrayal done by the son with his wife on his father.  It is a meaningful story from where we can derive, especially by the aged parents, some lessons on the selfish attitude of our children, the sons. 

Opening scene

 

The roles played by handsome Willy and beautiful Jessica Gomes as a young couple was excellent while the role of the father played by Pascoal Rodrigues lacked genuineness since he looked more youthful. So too Milagres de Chandor in his role of Jessica’s father. His loud delivery sounded more unpalatable to the ears of the listeners.  

Baba Cielo sings his solo

 

Comedy part lacked grandeur of the yesteryears comedy done by those great comedians whose just presence on the Stage would create peals of laughter in the hall.  The genuine comedians like Jacinto Vaz, Jepsis Hitler, Anthony Mendes, Greg de Candolim and Kid Boxer had not to act like the Circus Clowns to make the people laugh. Where is the beauty and greatness of the comedy done by those great comedians gone now and why the current the so called ace comedians cannot perform such comedy roles?  We the Tiatro goers, Tiatro writers & directors and all the comedians have to ponder over it. Some of the current third class comedians to make the third class audience laugh even  resort to the display of vulgarity.  This has to stop. 

Comedians Salvy & Richard

 

Side Show songs were good but too many political songs upset the normal trend.  The solos rendered by Olga,  Baba Cielo, Xavier Gomes,  Pascoal Rodrigues and Mmarcos Vaz were nice, so too the duets of Anil Pednecar with Olga and Lawry Travasso with Jessica Gomes. The quarter of Francis de Tuem with Xavier Gomes-Marcos Vaz –Lawry Travasso was worth admiring.

Jessica & Willy

As a whole, the Tiatro ZERO is ok.

NEW KONKANI FILM "RAKHONDAR"

 

Yesterday, 14^th of this month, at Panjim Kala Academy Hall, at 3.45 PM. I watched the recently released Konkani film “RAKHONDAR”, written, directed  & produced by the well-known comedian tiatrist John D’Silva.  The attendance was good but not to the capacity. 

 

 

 

Though it was not a lengthy film yet it gave a good message regarding the hardship Police force faces from the ministers, especially when the son of the minister take the law into his own hands to display his  brute “dadagiri” on the blind support of his minister father. 

John D’Silva plays the leading role of an upright Police Officer while Prince Jacob does the role of a Traffic Policeman.  There is no comedy role for anyone and hence something looks missing. In the beginning the fight shown between Prince Jacob and the minister's son lacked genuineness. The role of the Chief Minister played by Sucurro de Santa Cruz was laudable.

 

 

While watching this film it reminded me of the yesteryears films namely Amchem Noxib and Nirmon and their greatness in all respects. Will we ever get such films again? They were produced by knowledgeable persons with the participation of the then gigantic artistes, scripted by stalwarts with nice stories, nice songs, nice music and excellent comedy.  For this reason these films are still sought after by the people.
