PAL SOARES' TIATRO AT CANDOLIM MANDD.

 

On 2^nd of this month, as usual, the Candolim MAND  at Pintos Vaddo,  to mark the feast of Condoi Saibin, organized  a Tiatro “Hantrun Polloun Payem Sodd” written and directed by Pal Soares.  Declared by the writers and critiques  as the best Tiatro of the season, it was staged about 50 times in Goa  and everywhere it is acclaimed as praiseworthy. 

 

 

Beautiful Jessica with Godwin in one scene

This time in Candolim it was very well attended by the audience who enjoyed the story as well as Side Show songs.  Financially it was a great success both to the director as well as to the organisers whose Kitty has been enhanced. 

This Mandd is a charitable organization doing lot of charities towards good causes.  Last time when the late Antonette de Calangute needed money for her Kidney transplantation which was ultimately not done, this Mandd named as Holy Cross, donated 50,000 rupees.  Since the said operation was not done,  there is no news of where the collected fund is gone.  It is the duty of all the donors to demand the accountability of their donations and also it is an obligation of  those responsible to collect this fund to declare the where about of this fund.

 

Director Pal Soares addressing the audience

The Tiatro was excellently enacted by all the smart artistes but major credit goes to the beauteous spot Jessica who played her role very beautifully.  Her beautiful looks, appropriate dress code, elegant presentation and perfect acting gave an added booster to this Tiatro.  Similarly, the role played by Godwin with fluent expression in a Prem Kumarian style created extra impact of this Tiatro.  Due credit must also go to the excellent role played by Ivon as a Lawyer.

In the comedy part, young boy Gladwin, the son of Menino Mario showed lot of enthusiasm and given more opportunities he will be a great asset to Konkani Stage.  He shows all the qualities required to be a good comedian. Seeing him for the first I was very much impressed by his comedy.

In the Side Show songs, Baba Cielo stole the show by his excellent solo on how the government looting the citizens by way of taxes and how expensive life Modi spends.  Marcus Vaz’z solo on Priests was liked by the audience, so also his other solos.  Manino Mario, Ivon, Estibeiro and Valencio rendered their solos well.

SAD DEMISE OF MACHADO – EX KUWAIT.

It is with deep sorrow and chagrin that I got the sad news of the sad demise of our colleague in Kuwait Mr. Francisco Machado from Taleigao. During his over three decades of stay in Kuwait he was a part of our movement in Kuwaiit in support of Goan causes. Whenever we oganised any activity he was always on forefront to lend his support.  He was a very good musician playing Violin, Organ and Guitar.  He used to teach music to many young music students during his spare time. 

Whenever we organized Manddo Festivals in Kuwait he was always there with his Violin, he was also a member of the Choir group in the Kuwait City Church playing his favourite instrument Violin.  He was also known as Violonist Machado in Kuwait.  So many times he played for our functions but never even once he charged us any money knowing the cause behind it. 

In his death we lost a great Goa lover Goan Francis Machado.

May his soul rest in peace and may God give courage to his wife and chidren to bear this colossal loss.

ALIGNMENT OF NON-BJP PARTIES IMPERATIVE.

Should we vote for the Congress Party candidates in the forthcoming election?  This is the poser put to me by many in our locality and elsewhere in Goa.

I got myself graduated to this level of Goan politics from the kindergarten of UG Party.  My taste for Congress got lost when that bitchy woman Indira Gandhi introduced the most ruthless Emergency rule in 1975  for  about 19 months.  In the last election I opposed all the corrupt Congressmen most of whom were defeated in the election mainly the Salcette “Rostad” and Bardez “Ostad” including our corrupt one who thru the support of Party Low and High Commands acquired huge wealth by looting the locality, by threatening the locals and intimidating them into his submission. Good that he was kicked out by his own voters otherwise with the degree of his brute “Dadagiri” he would surpass even Saddam Hussein in dealing ruthlessly people in his own locality. 

As things are going on now, Congress alone will never win the coming election; on the contrary it may even lose more miserably than in the last election.  Opposition leader Rane Papa is become unfit not only to be the Opposition leader in the Assembly but even to lead the party in the forthcoming election. His love for Congress Party is only for his selfish gains otherwise he is anti-Goan by core being an MG Party child and MGP persons are always with BJP.  This is the logic.  If he was not made the Opposition leader, I am sure he would have left Congress and joined BJP like Mauwin Godinho.

It is a pity to note that once such a mighty Congress Party in Goa has now reached to such lowest ebb and why this has happened?  It has happened only because of the crook and corrupt Congress MLA’s and Ministers who went on with looting spree with such ferocity that by looting the Goans bodily finally they looted them even soully.

When this is the case, it is of imperative need for the Congress Party in Goa to deny the election tickets to all the defeated candidates in the last election and replace them by the new faces which are available in plenty.  Relying again on the defeated candidates and old guards will be the end of Congress in Goa.  This advice of mine to Congress Party under Luizinho Faleiro must be accepted in its totality if Faleiro wants to keep the presence of Congress Party in the local Legislative Assembly. 

Secondly, individually it is impossible for Congress Party to win the next election. Hence, Congress Party must be bold enough to accept this fact and take the bold decision to align with other political  parties with a defined manifesto to fight the next election.  BJP is not in a position to win the next election because of its sins and sacrileges it committed against Goa and Goans and hence it will make all the tricks to devide the opposition votes. This game of BJP must not be allowed to play otherwise BJP will split the non-BJP votes and acquire the victory on silver platter.  The next election must be fought on the pattern of Opinion Poll with the polling pattern like either BJP or non-BJP.  All the local and national parties must make some sacrifices to fight this election collectively to dethrone BJP from the power it is holding by cheating the Goans. Currently BJP has reached to the highest peak of its dictatorial ways to destroy Goa. BJP government in Goa following Salazar’s ways to suppress Goan voice.

In the next election giving victory to BJP means justifying all the un-Goan and anti-Goan decisions and legislations by the BJP, namely the defective Regional Plan, demoting of Coconut Tree, supporting the Builders lobby to convert Goa into a concrete jungle, deGoanising Goa with non-Goans etc.  Re-electing the BJP MLA’s means blindly accepting their support to BJP government for all the wrong decisions against Goa and Goans. Wherever possible, defeating these MLA’s should be the top priority of non-BJP voters and supporters.  Currently all the non-BJP parties are for dethroning BJP from the power in Goa.  If they are really true to this decision then they must all come under one banner and with seat adjustment fight the next election the way it was done in Bihar recently.
