BJP - PARRICAR & MESS IN GOA.

The trickling of the news regarding the unseating of Parricar from the throne of Chief Ministership will be the meeting with justice.  I am a religious man believing in God’s justice and I am happy that Devine justice is under process in which Parricar will be taught a very good lesson of “sword beget sword”. Additionally his other two cabinet colleagues namely Francis D’Souza and Madkaicar are also on the verge of learning similar type of lesson.  Madcaicar wanted to be an expert in the sin of Narvenkarism for this reason he jaunted to  Mumbai to spend easily accumulated money by looting the people. Moreover, he had such a high arrogant ambition to challenge the power of God that he wanted to build another Tower of Babel in Old Goa closer to the Old Goa Religious Monuments.

Stupid is he because he forgot to accept the fact that those who failed to build the original Tower of Babel were the people who wanted to challenge God and since there is no power on this earth to challenge God’s power, the imminent result is defeat.

And Francis D’souza without having any shame put Christianity into scum by calling himself a Hindu Christian to please BJP top bras but it did not fetch him the expected dividend. By blindly siding with the devils and enemies of Christianity he inflicted heavy pain on Christians and in the bargain he must have acquired lot of wealth but poor thing he cannot get the peace and happiness to enjoy the benefit of the same wealth. Such wealth is nothing but a curse which will not keep you happy.

Generally speaking what has happened to BJP in Goa with Parricar at the helm of affairs was the punishment of God for robbing the Congress of  its clear victory which was fair and clear.  And inspite of this that Congress was sidetracked means what a Hitlerian “dadagiri” of BJP which can, if not halted now only, even thru legal means, it can reach to any extent, even beyond Indira Gandhi’s draconian Emergency.

The way the governing system is functioning in Goa now it looks BJP is owning Goa and Goans and they can do anything in Goa and nobody can question them.  Parricar is thinking that he is Salazar and he is inevitable, without him nothing will move in Goa. All bullshit.  Even if he dies tonight nothing will happen, it will go unnoticed, his death will be a mild blow only to his close family members and few of his chamchas. His death will have no impact on Goa, neither on his Party anywhere in india. He is a coward and because of this he is afraid to resign.

COMPETITION TIATRO " I LOVE YOU" BY MATHIAS MASCARENHAS .

On 11^th of this month at 7.00 PM in Panjim at Kala Academy A/C Hall, I saw the competition tiatro “ I love you” written and directed by the well known musician and script writer from Calangute, Mathias Mascarenhas. It was very well attended by the audience overwhelming majority from Calangute since this Tiatro is staged on behalf of Calangute Association and sponsored by 5 organisations  and 12 individuals.  

                             Opening Song. Pascoal

de Calangute (C)

                                                 comedy solo by Masarenhas

Mathias Mascarenhas is a  name and fame not only in Calangute but all over Goa in this particular field winning prizes  in the competitions too. In this Tiatro he failed to make maximum use of maximum number of best of available local artistes whose entry in this Tiatro could boost the image and improve the quality of this Tiatro very much, both from male and female segments.

No doubt the Tiatro was excellent and enacted well by all the artistes yet credit goes better to Ashwin and Trupti Kerkar for playing the roles of elderly couple nicely, so too Johny Mascarenhas, Sunshine Fernandes, Irene D’Souza and the writer/director himself for doing their respective roles well.

One more scene

A romantic scene

Seen dancing in yet another romantic scene

The story is surrounded mainly on the elderly couple,  their family life and finally ending in their romance declaring their love to each other saying “I LOVE YOU”.

Solo by youngster Andrew

                                           the director is seen on the right side

The comedy part was very intellectually depicted where you see the real intellectual part of the director and where again he brings his genius into play.

                                           danzila as blinddaughter/Salvador as father

School children seen singing

In the beginning especially the first “Pordho” was rather lengthy where in the end it found a bit dull but later on the entire matter was enjoyed by the audience. KUDOS TO MATHIAS MASCARENHAS.

Last scene

A  duo by Salvador / Pascoal

In the Side Show songs, all songs were good especially the Duets and solos decent as well as comedy.

 

                                                      Abeautiful solo by tebeautiful Denzila

                                             Another interesting duet seen singing above

Musical score was well provided by Selvyn Braganza and his troupe.

Well done Congottcars.

It was organised at the residence of Tony Figuredo and his wife Nancy Figueredo.  It is an annual event they organise at their residence since a long time now where after finishing the event the benevolent Figueredos served not only “Ukoddlole Chonne” but they also served the rich dinner to over 50 guests who attends this religious occasion annually.  

This year the number of attendees was over 50 and they were well entertained by the nice music played by the professional musicians. This event on this date is marked in honour of Our Lady of Vailankani – 8^th of September.

Tony Figueredo was a long timer in Kuwait landing in that Sheikdom in 1948 at the young age of just 17 and getting employed at the prestigious Bank of Kuwait and the Middle East and returning back to Goa  after serving Kuwait for 52 long years.
