ALEX WILSON COELHO THROWN OUT IN GOA.

ALEX WILSON COELHO THROWN OUT IN GOA.

By Special Correspondent.

           In a dramatic turn in Panjim on Saturday, 26^th of September 2015,  in the election held at Hotel Mandovi in the morning, to re-elect the directors for the Board of Gulf Goans Hotels Co. Ltd., Alex Wilson Coelho from Curtorim and ex Kuwait but currently a resident of Canada, faced a humiliating defeat from his former colleague Felix Ferrao.  It was a resounding defeat of about 42 thousand Share votes.  This is the second time defeat for Coelho after 30 years as a director in which capacity he enjoyed undeservingly lot of benefits from the company besides acting like the owner of this company owning the Hotel Goan Heritage at Calangute built by Kuwait Goans.  With this disgraceful defeat his panelists also suffered similar disgrace.

           Alfred Fernandes from Chimbel also got re-elected by a heavy margin of 1.5 lakh Share votes.  He was a victim of mischievous clause called section 169 of company act which was maliciously imposed by the malicious share holder against Mr. Alfred who is the youngest member of the Board and doing excellent service for the Board.  Recognising his worth, the share holders voted him back to the Board by ignoring the section 169.

           As usual like a Bebdo, Alex Wilson Coelho while conducting the proceedings spoke ill of 2 share holders without any substance.  Reacting furiously, one of them came to the dais and pointing his heavy fist to the head of Coelho threatened Coelho saying “Cheddiechea, Mutt marun tuji tokli foddtolom”.  Having no answer, frightened Coelho immediately apologized.  Then things moved smoothly.    

NEW TIATRO “HANTRUNN POLLEUN PAYEM SODD”

 

TIATRO “HANTRUNN POLLEUN PAYEM SODD”

By: Pal Soares.

On Friday, 25^th of this month in Panjim at Kala Academy Hall,  at 7.40 PM, I saw the season’s best Tiatro “Hantrun Polleun Payem Sodd” written and directed by the well-known director Pal Soares.  Though the attendance was not to the capacity yet qualitatively it was the best Tiatro so far I have seen in this whole season and in this whole year. 

Meera singing her opening solo

 

Once again Pal Soares indicated his capacity to write and direct such a high caliber Tiatro in tune with those yesteryears’  Tiatrists.  Earlier we used to watch such Tiatros written by those days great directors like Remmie Colaco, M. Boyer, Airestedes Dias, C. Alvares, Alexinho de Candolim and many others but nowadays we don’t see such Tiatros written by the current directors with name and fame.  For this reason, I can easily rate Pal Soares as the best script writer among all the current well-known writer – directors.

A scene - Godwin and Jessica

 

It was purely a traditional Tiatro based on Goan tradition and having "Cantos" in every "Poddo" and all these Cantos were beautiful and made more beautiful to the eyes and ears of the audience by the beautiful voice of the beautiful artiste Jessica and others. 

Anil singing his solo

 

The story revolved around a family known as “Dudcar” selling milk  and though it was a Dudcar family but by selling Dud it was a developed family having one son as Bank Manager whose wife coming from higher echelon of the society hates to stay in the Dudcar family.  Those who want to know what is the final outcome, they must see this excellent Tiatro which is going on now in Goa.

Full marks for the best roles played  by Godwin and Jessica as husband and wife.  Jessica’s beautiful appearance and majestic personality brought an extra glamour to this Tiatro which was written in beautiful Konkani with nice sayings and proverbs,  By giving examples of great leaders of India who rose to the pedestal inspite of having humble beginning, Pal Soares indicated his great knowledge of towering figures of the world.  Though he was not a student of Sorbone University yet philosophically Pal Soares indicated his philosophical knowledge in this Tiatro. The other artistes who deserve mention here are Ivon who played the role of a humble and wisdomatic sister, Pal Soares playing the role of a doctor and Camilo.

Comedians Riza - Neto - Hortencio

 

Comedywise it was well performed by the all the comedians namely Hortencio, Neto and Riza whom I see for the first time, she shows all the attributes of a perfect comedian in making and she nicely fits into the bracket of Hortencio and Nato.  Though Hortencio and Neto deserve compliments for their comedy yet their piece of going overboard by showing comedy having double meaning sounded a bit vulgar, the words “lai” and “danda” were not palatable to the ears  and this does not suit them both as they are both known to be decent comedians.  The great comedians Jcinto Vaz, Anthony Mendes and Jepsis Hitler did not stoop so low to make the audience laugh by performing so low comedy. For this reason those great comedians remained great.  Pal Soares as a director is responsible to check this.

Another scene: Godwin-Ivon-Cyril

 

Side Show songs did not come up to the expected level and it lacked the required booster for this Tiatro though as usual Olga with her very high caliber political solo mesmerized the entire audience with too many encores besides her duet with Anil was excellent.  The other songs that deserve mention here were the solos of Menino Mario, Anil, Jose and Godwin and a duo by Hortencio and Camilo.

Once again, well done Pal Soares and his troupe.

TIATR ACADEMY MEET ON LATE TIATRISTS.

 

On Monday, 21^st of this month, I attended a Meet organized by Tiatro Academy Goa, to mark the birthdays of the yesteryears’ Tiatrists who are no more in this world. They were all born in this month, namely the late Prem Kumar, the late Saby Coutinho, the late Philomena Braz, the late Khoddo Minguel, the late Peter D’Costa, the late Remmie J.Colaco and the late Rosalia Rodrigues.

 

 

 

The Meet was unfortunately attended by a very thin crowd which gave a very bad image of this occasion.  Organising of such Meetings is a good concept but the organisers must do the marketing properly to woo the audience in good number. Without required quota of audience the Meet becomes dull.

 

TAG President Agostinho Temudo

To woo the audience the organisers must also select very good speakers and not any Altu-Faltu type of speakers who keep the proceedings boring.  The newly inducted President Comedian Agostinho Temudo being young, energetic and innovative must have to use his skill and expertise to make this very good monthly event a very fruitful.  He must select the speakers properly who are even capable of reciting few verses of the songs rendered by the late Tiatrists in question. When TAG is paying the speakers a certain amount of fees for their services then TAG must select proper speakers, they need not necessarily be from the Tiatro fraternity.

 

Speaker Alvaro Gomes

 

Two speakers namely Alvaro Gomes and Josephine spoke on these Tiatrists; Alvaro spoke on Remmie J. Colaco, Saby Coutinho, Philomena Braz & Khoddo Minguel while Josephine spoke on the others.  Agostinho Temudo in the beginning welcomed the audience with his few humble words and also proposed the Vote of Thanks while concluding the Meet.

                                                 Speaker Josephie

Meantime, I wish the newly inducted President of TAG Agostinho Temudo all the best to carry forward the task entrusted to him.
