BHARAT MUKTI MORCHA an all India organization looking after the interest of the common people to get justice for them, organized its Meeting on 8^th of this month at T.B. Cunha Hall, Panjim, at 3.30 PM with the attendance of hall-packed crowd where speakers after speakers voiced their disgust over the exploitation of the commoners by the top class of people.  Special mention was made over the recent unwarranted demolition of  Baina Huts of the migrants in a very cruel and inhuman manner to make way for the builders to construct their empires in the name of the promotion of tourism.

Maggie Silveira - The President of BMM

 

In his inaugural speech the firebrand stalwart of BMM, Mr. Sebastian Rodrigues condemned this inhuman demolition done in inhuman manner without having any human consideration for the inhabitants residing in their Huts there.  Every attendee in chorus condemned this demolition.

A.Veronica Fernandes also addressed this Meet and spoke on the exploitation of the common Goans by the top class and top caste Goans during the old regime in Goa where he made an statement saying that it was the Bamonn Bhattkarshai that harassed common Goans then and not the Portuguez.   The major enemy of the common Goans during the Portuguese regime was the Bamon Bhattkar class stated A. Veronica.  Then he added saying that Portuguez instead of 451 years should have stayed in Goa for 902 years but it was driven out early because of the arrogance and pride of Bamon Bhatkarshai who aligned more closely with the regime then. Further he said quoting some famous world revolutions where common people gained advantages, in Goa after the so called liberation of Goa, Bandodcar and his MGP devided the Goans on communal lines instead of class wise. Bandodcar ignored the Bahujan samaz from Christian community, for him only in Hindu community there existed Bahujan samaz, stated A. Veronica.

Saby Rodrigues addressing the Meet

 

The others who expressed their views in support of common people were Prof. Janardan from Siolim and Prof. Anthony Rodrigues from Quepem. Their views were keenly observed by the audience.

TIATRO "VISVAS GHAT" BY MATHIAS MASCHARENHAS.

TIATRO VISVAS GHAT FOR KALA ACADEMY COMPETITION.

 

 

Starcy Mesquita singing

 

Yesterday, 8^th of this month, at 7.00 PM, I saw one of the all-time best  Tiatros staged at Kala Academy Hall, written and directed by the versatile director Mathias Mascharenhas and presented by Calangute Association, Calangute.  It was attended by the capacity attendees who enjoyed every bit of it. This was the competition Tiatro for the 41^st Tiatro Competition organized by the Kala Academy, Panjim.

 

Very boldly with ease Baby Linoshka sings

 

 Why such Tiatros are not written by the current so called great professional Tiatrists?  This was the question posed by many among those who attended this Tiatro. Most of the present day professional directors are not full-fledged writer-directors, they get comedy from X comedian, Cantos from Y composer and the rest is borrowed or purchased from here and there.  There is nothing in their “Koplan”. In their Koplan there is “Kande & Botatte”.  In fact, what is in the “Konfran” of the directors of competition  it is not there even in the “Koplan” of the professional directors. 

 

A scene where seen are Ashwin-Mathias-Kerkar

 

Mathias the recipient of the Best Tiatro Award last year’s competition, is multi-talented young man, besides being a very good script writer and director, he is a very good musician – a Trumpeter having his own band consisting of his two sons also and  a successful businessman.  In this Tiatro “Visvas Ghat” he shows yet again his speciality in the knowledge of Law as well as the story revolved around Law and Lawyers.  Since this Tiatro is going to be staged again, I desist from disclosing the contents and leave it to the audience to see it and enjoy it.  If necessary, Calangute Association must come forward and stage this Tiatro all over Goa for the people to enjoy the greatness of this Tiatro. Joseph Sequeira the stalwart of Calangute must ponder over this.

Seen singing a duet by Valencia &  Domnick

 

Both the Advocates (Ashwin D’Souza & Mathias) as father and son played their roles well.  The senior Advocate was at his best but he looked a bit younger, even in his dress code he looked like  a teenager.  Mathias depicted himself well by doing his role appropriately and the role played by Trupti Kerkar  as his wife was superb. Though the last scene unfolded the mystery yet it lacked some substance before Mathias shoots himself.  It would have been nice if he made a vocal statement why he commits a suicide as Valente Mascharenhas did  in C. Alvares’ masterpiece Tiatro “Patki Nhoi Ghatki” .  Otherwise the Tiatro was well enacted by all the artistes though One song after every “Poddo” was too little and the deficiency of appropriate Cantos was easily noticed. Mike system was not giving the required effect as some of the contents from the Stage were not well audible.

 

Seen singing a duo by Salvador &   Pascoal

 

Side Show songs was well performed by singing nice songs by the youngsters Starcy Mesquita, Jovicia Sequeira & Jackylene, Valencia & Domnick Lobo and the tiny little girl Linoshka Mascarenhas. However  the major credit must surely go to the excellent Duo rendered by Salvador & Pascoal and  the beautiful Duet by Naqy & Domnick Pereira.  Since the death of C.Alvares, this is the first time I listen to such a high caliber duet. And the duo of Salvador and Pascoal de Calangute on London Goans was just a superb one.

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.
