TAG COMMITTEE MEMBERS & THEIR NOMIATIONS.

After a long wait of 2 years, finally the vacancy of the presidency of Tiatr Academy  lying empty for such a long period was filled when Menino de Bhandar was appointed as president of TAG.  Then a committee was formed of 10 members by nominating the members but on what basis?  The members of this Committee known as General Council of Tiatr Academy should be a body  of experts in this field and of good  character. But  after  seeing the list of all the  nominated members of   this Council, I find at least to my knowledge some names are popularly unknown in Tiatro field, it looks they never involved in acting or  writing or organising Tiatros. It  would be nice for the president to give some  details of every member of what he has done in this field to merit him the place in the Council of Tiatr Academy.  It is better for us to know the capacity of every member now otherwise later on we should not be informed that Mr. X is unfit.   Tiatrists are on forefront to abuse and criticise those who do injustice including the Goverbment.  To match with their fight for justice and those who are spreading injustice, I hope Menino de Bandar as one of such Tiatrists will surely oblige by openly exposing details of all the members.  We want to know on what basis these members are nominated and whether their knowhow in this field merit them nomination or they are the beneficiaries of “Kumparponna“.  Kumparponna and Chamchagiri are very rampantly followed in our society and since Tiatrists are using the Stage to eradicate these Kumparponna ani Chamchagiri, I hope Menino de Bandar will do the needful.

 

Secondly if any member knowing he was guilty for committing a breach of discipline elsewhere  earlier in his individual capacity then he must voluntarily withdraw from this Council before he is openly told.  This Council is not meant for any Altu-Faltu person, this Council is meant for knowledgeable Tiatrists and persons having vast knowledge in this subject and by the way don’t we have such knowledgeable persons among us? This Council is meant also for matured and seasoned Tiatrists and such Tiatrists  are plenty among us whose vast experience in this line would be beneficial to help improvise our Tiatro Art.  People without any knowledge of this subject and those who if were castigated by the authorities for committing any fault, they should not have  a place in this Council. People of questionable character are always a curse and this curse they will carry forward in this Council also and disgrace the TAG.  At Government level we see what mess our representatives  are doing because they are not fit to do their job. TAG should not follow the example of our elected representatives. 

 

It is surprising to know how not a single female is inducted into this Council  when there are so many well experienced and seasoned so too  brainy and highly educated ladies holding top positions in their professional fields, besides they are well propped up in this field thru their Tiatrist family  tradition and also having their Tiatrists husbands from whom they gained so much of knowledge not only by acting on the stage with them but also by associating with them in the Tiatros circle. Let me make a mention of some of the vastly great and seasoned female Tiatrists: Jessy Dias, Fatima D’Souza, Sharon Mazarello, Platilda, Aplon  and Chitra. TAG will never get such knowledgeable  and experienced females, that they ignored them it self is a big blunder. But it is said in our language no that “FOKOT XETTUCH ZANNA BHANGARACHO VALOR.

TIATR ACADEMY OF GOA.

 

With much noise which reached to its crescendo within just  2 days created the 2 years pending result of the appointment  of President of Tiatr Academy of Goa.  Finally as I know the popular Tiatrist of Benaulim Menino de Bhandar was appointed as the new President of TAG. My congratulations to him.  To repeat it once again, I know Menino de Bhandar as a popular Tiatrist but I don’t know that he is the popular Administrator capable to run the   Administration of TAG.   It is not enough for anyone to get appointed as Manager  but it must be noted first that the man is suitable  to administer the administration of that organsation.  To be a successful in the management you must be first necessarily a qualified person with good educaational background and not from  the Parochial School where you are brought up by the Church Mestiri in the Church School by learning like “B A – B A = BABA; C A – C A = CACA etc.and a few necessary tips of Musical Art. 

 

A sensible man before accepting his post of a Manager he would think first whether he is fit to run his job successfully. Otherwise like an stupid Indian or double stupid Goan  will accept like an idiot that Managerial post as if it is a joke finally makinga mess of himself and of his job thus creating a very bad result on the Manageent and of the organization.  Some people are so stupid they think they can handle anything without analyzing their capacity. I will cite an example that happened on the Stage in mid sixties in Bombay for the Tiatro written and directed by one amateur Tiatriist Mr. Nazareth from Candolim who opted to do the role of an agod man.  Since it was the role of an aged man he applied an artificial little long Beard and while playing his this role opposite to Kid Boxer he faltered a bit in his talk as he looked a bit nervous mainly by being opposite to Kid Boxer it was impossible for him to be on par with Kid Boxer who noticing his nervousness,  Kid Boxer in his typicsl way made the remark thus:   ARE MOJEA BHANGARACHEA PUTA,  ITLE BHURGEPONIR  HO XEPAICHO ROLE KORPAK TUKAM K0NNE MHONNON DILO RE!!

 

With  the appointment of TAG president, one part of this noise making association is over and the second part of the Council of President comprising 9 members will be selected, they are to be selected on the basis of their long term experience in the Tiatro and in Tiatroo Art, they are selected  thru the important persons like MLA’s, Minister, ex-MLA’s etc. to give them certain weightage so that they select their own persons males/females.  I don’t know whether any Ladru Pedru type gets a place into this, I don’t know whether any molester or suspended from staging his Tiatro is  also included into this otherwise they  should voluntarily `withdraw before molesting the image of their group.  Hope all the members in this group are well experienced in the field of Tiiatro so that it does not be another  Tiatro of Nazareth where Kid Boxer made his` sarcastic remark.Then these 9 members including the President  choose the remaining 10 members including the Vice President.  Most of the rubbish  starts happening here when selecting these 10 members, most of them as per information are selected not on their merit but on their basis of Kumparponna thus some of the elected members are not even stepped up-on the Stage, some of them can be the Chamchas  of those who  recommended them in which case they will not serve the development and promotion of Konkani Stagee but they will serve their own interest and to serve their interest they will be remunerated. 

 

Was there any reason for getting the work done just in two days otherwise as per information the same work of appointment of the President of  TAG kept pending for 2 years inspite of one File kept ready in the office of the authorities concerned.  Was it because the next election is coming fast and t6 give a booster to the person concerned in his election in the South? Or to project him as the leading man in Salcette?

WHAT AILS OUR GOA?

 

                 What ails “Amchem Bhangarachem Goem?” For every project that the Government initiates harming the interest of Goa/Goans and destroying the ecology of Goa, we the patriotic Goans have to organize Morchas and Puiblic Meetings to bring pressure on Government to halt those projects and yet the Government is reluctant to respect our feelings. Almost every   government  formed in Goa since the ouster of Portuguese from Goa was anti-Goa/Goans inspite of our voting those Governments   to power.  Why our own Governments elected by us refusing to listen to our voices when during the colonial rule our voices and grievanes were heard and accepted without any resistance even though our Portuguese rulers were foreighners and not elected by us. But now it is verver much hurting and also disgusting that our  own rulers who being  our  neighbours and relatives are refusing to accept our views and pleas.  Once our rulers are elected to rule us they  beome nobody to us, they act as if they are unkown to us,  they cut the bond of closeness with us and treat us as nobody to them.  Within no time they become Hitlerian Dictators and go on destroying our land, our houses, our fields and our means of livelihood.  What is wrong with our own people who are running our Government?

 

                First of all these leaders of ours do not indicate these projects in their manifestoes at the time of election for us to approve and get our votes and as such we are not bound to accept rverything they do.  Our elected representatives cannot  do anything without our approval, Their 5 year term is not a dictatorialterm to to act like Saddam Hussein. Some of  our Ministers are not capable to shoulder all their responsibilities, they  are good to  handle soft projects where their dividends of certain percentage  of commission are assured.  They are weak in  handling their portfolios because they are backward, not educationally qualified nor professionally, e.g.Visvajeet Rane is incapable to handle his portfolio of Health having zero knowledge of Medical Science while CM also not sufficiently qualified to disctate his terms.  Most of our Ministers are having very backward background while a few of them tasted the Chicken only when they got ministerial positions.  Precisely because of this, recently the learned Lokayukta  whose knowledge cannot be analysed by the ordinary Ladru & Pedru said that one Minister is unfit to be the Minister. If this is the case, what guarantee is there that the same Minister will not commit mistakes while handling his portfolio? If unfit Ministers are allowed to function then how  will we develop our “Bhangarachem Goem?”

 

                 The way the present Government give us troubles to fight for our rights and justice it is really unbearable because all who are raising their voices they must not stop, only thru fighting we will.a
