TIATRO "MHOZO SUSKAR TUM !".

TIATRO “MHOZO  SUSKAR  TUM !” BY ROSEFERNS.

Antonette de Maina

On 17^th of this month, at Kala Academy Hall, Panjim, I saw this Tiatro starting at 8.05 instead of at 7.45 PM.  It was a too much rush at the entrance of the Hall because of the unwarranted delay and because of this delay there was chaos at the entrance.  

Ageema Opening solo

The attendance was packed to capacity which indicates the popularity of the director to woo the attendance.  In fact Roseferns is the name and fame in the Tiatro circle with good reputation as a writer, director, singer and “decent partist”.

A scene:Roseferns -Sanaya-Roma 

In this Tiatro he plays a leading role of the father and along with Tari, Antonette de Maina, handsome Creto, Sanaya and Roma raise the level of the play to the pedestal.   Tari’s role as a “Bebdo” was excellent and one of the attractive females of Konkani Stage Antonette de Maina mesmerizes the audience with her beautiful role. Currently, she is one of the darlings of the audience.

One more scene: Is it worth admiring or it is a shame?

The story is a family story revolves around Love between Creto and Sanaya where Antonette also involves.   Since this Tiatro is being staged all over Goa, I will not give further details.  

Comedy scene: Dorothy-Selvy-Richard

The comedy part was not palatable to digest by the decent audience because it consists of vulgarity where  many expressions and actions carried double meanings.  It was below my dignity to watch  such a dirty comedy.  As a dignified director with high respect in Tiatro circle and beyond, Roseferns should not have introduced such a vulgar comedy in this otherwise nice play.  It does not suit Roseferns, he should make some amendments and reword it before his reputation gets damaged.  

Tony de Ribandar on his political solo

If you see one of the photos above where one  comedian with the stick pulls up from behind the dress of another comedian exposing the underwear. It is nothing but filth.

Rosario de Benaulim - Solo on Talent

In the Side Show songs, Benny de Aldona’s solo on human equality was the best.  Xavier Gomes, Rosario de Benaulim, Lawry Travasso, Ageema, Tony de Ribandar rendered their  solos very well, so also Duet by Rosario de Benaulim and Roma.

Tony de Ribanda & his group on BJP

Some Tiatrists in this Tiatro crossed their limit when one in his political solo called Parricar as “xinkop ason Dukor”.  This has to stop otherwise be prepared for the Censorship.

In another group song, the singers bring dummies of Parricar and Parsencar and make  mockery of both of them by playing on them. However bad they may be but to make such a mockery is below one’s dignity.  There were so many dignified people in the Hall, they felt below their dignity to watch such a cheap comedy.

VIJAY SARDESAI SHOULD NOT REJOIN CONGRESS.

In today’s Herald dated 17.07.16, in his interview with Herald, MLA from Fatorda Constituency and a stalwart of the newly formed Party “Goa Forward”, Vijay Sardesai  declared saying “I CANNOT GO BACK TO THE CONGRESS”. 

Well said Vijaybab and you should not go back.  It is not you who need Congress to gain power back but just the opposite.  As a face saving device and  for its survival Congress must join the alliance otherwise what is little remaining of Congress in Goa  will that also extinguish.  Congress under the current leadership is a sinking ship and if it goes alone for the coming election then it will meet with the fate of Titanic.

People in Goa especially once its backbone are averse to Congress because it has destroyed Goa during its nasty rule in Goa.  It encouraged its  leaders and rulers to loot Goa  and act as “Dadas” thereby turning them into artificial Hitlers and Maharajas.  There is no accountability of the disproportionate wealth they have accumulated. I have one such leader below my nose and likewise there innumerable of them all over Goa  who looted poor Goans.  To punish these looters and extortionists, in the last election people in Goa especially the supporters of Congress Party revolted against it with a powerful defeat.

Now, the same people have vowed to completely annihilate Congress Party from Goa.  In view of this, it is better for Congress Party to fight the next election by remaining in the shadow of other parties in a form of Alliance.  Hence, it is of paramount importance for Congress to join the grand alliance  to contest the coming election where everyone wants to dethrone BJP.  If the common goal of every party is the same including that of Congress then why the hitch  of joining the Alliance?

Is Luizin Faleiro putting a blockade? If yes then what he thinks Congress will win on its own?  Even if hundred Luizins join together nothing will happen.  The rating of Congress in Goa gone down with the exit of John Fernandes.

Alfred Rose carries the distinction of producing the first Konkani Audio Cassette and Rosary Ferns from Kuwait got the distinction of producing the first Konkani CD, this was released in Kuwait.

Since then there is no stopping of producing more and more Konkani CD’s – VCD’s – DVD’s.  Jerry Cal also contributed in this business. Hailing from the picturesque and scenic village in Calangute, Jerry Fernandes popularly known as Jerry Cal, did his early schooling in Portuguese and then shifted to Arpora School where he completed his SCC.  From here he went to Bombay Taj where he acquired the degree in Hospitality and after working there for 5 years he migrated to the Gulf, Abu Dhabi to be precise.  While working in Abu Dhabi Hilton, a Five Star Hotel as  Chef de Partie, he then joined Abu Dhabi Sheraton as a Sous Chef.  Then from here he was sent for further training to Germany and Holland.  A few years back he voluntarily retired from his top job at  Abu Dhabi National Hotels Co. as Executive Chef and returned to his original soil. 

From the early age he was involved in participating in sports in his school and his locality where he excelled beautifully in Table Tennis and Cycle Race.   Acting in Tiatros in his school and locality from the early age and later on in the Tiatros staged by the top professionals, namely of Remmie J Colaco, M. Boyer, Menino de Bhandar and  Fr. Freddy etc. he gained a good name for him.  He not only sings but also composes his own songs.

While in Abu Dhabi he worked very hard along with his  wife, the late Theresa Fernandes to promote the cause of Konkani especially by collecting  funds for the Konkani movement in Goa and also for Konkani Martyrs Fund.  He was instrumental from Abu Dhabi to bring Goan troupes to UAE and stage their Tiatros, namely of M. Boyer who was his personal friend, Pascoal Rodrigues, Fr. Freddy J. D’Costa, Menino de Bhandar,  C. Alvares  and others.  

In UGDDAS M. BOYERACHO there are 12 songs, 7 of which are composed by Jerry Cal and the title song is rendered by Jerry Cal himself.  Thru this song Jerry Call pays highest tributes to M. Boyer by describing  very beautifully the great work M. Boyer did on Konkani Stage, also by quoting his Tiatros and displaying the visuals of the awards  he received from the Presidents of India, namely Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma and Dr. Abdul Kalam at Rastrapati Bhawan, Delhi.  This song is worth admiring and very informative as none composed such a one earlier.  The other song Jerry Cal renders in this Album is SOBIT CLANGUTE where all the top scenic views of Calangute and neighbouring places are shown giving lot of information of these views.  Oldest English High School of Goa,  St. Joseph’s High School Arpora, beautiful Baga spot where the miraculous Chapel is located are also shown.  And special mention is made to the Hotel Goan Heritage which is the brainchild of Kuwait Goans.  It will be a nice opportunity for the global Goans to see the visuals of this Hotel.  It is the very good mode of marketing of this hotel  thru this Album.

This Album Jerry Cal has dedicated to his  wife late Theresa Fernandes.
