NEW TIATRO "GOEM KONN SAMBALLTOLO".

Rosy Alvares - opening solo.

Today at Mapusa, at 10.40 AM, I saw the new Tiatro “GOEM KONN SAMBALLTOLO” written and directed by Mario Menezes.  This being the inaugural show it was  well performed by all the artistes without  any hitch normally associated with the first show and it was attended by the capacity attendees. 

Tony de Ribandar - solo

In this Tiatro, the patriotism of Mario Menezes towards Goa was bursts and erupted like  a volcano spreading molten lava all around the Hanuman Theatre.  In this play, Mario Menezes tells how  risky it is to leave Goa and go to London and elsewhere when we have plenty of opportunities in our own Goa where the migrants mint money.  If this trend of leaving Goa is continued, he asked “who will protect Goa?”

One Scene - Tony-Rosy-Franky

In the play, Mario Menezes himself along with Jessica Gomes plays an excellent role.  They both paired well as husband and wife  while Rosy Alvares pairing with Franky as his wife does justice for her role. The little irritant was the  unwanted screaming while delivering the expressions.

The story of the play is the need of the hour and it is high time that we Goans especially the Christians implement it practically if we want to save  and protect our Goa.  Mario Menezes also came hard on those Goans who sell their land to the outsiders indicating the ill effects of these deals.  He said it is our duty to protect out land for future generation concluding that what belongs to the future generation  we have no right to dispose of.

Duet - Tony & Jessica

The play got extra booster with the introduction of nice Cantos throughout from start till end .  Both Mario Menezes and Jessica Gomes rendered their sorrowful Cantos extremely well, in fact Jessica was at her best with her serene voice.  

Felicitation - Third Nagvencar 4th Paklo

The comedy part though good yet it required some more punch. 

Duet - Lawry & Rosy

All the Side Show songs were good yet special mention must go to the Opening solo of Rosy Alvares, Mario Menezes solo, Lawry Travasso’s solo, excellent duet of Jessica Gomes with Tony de Ribandar, also of Lawry Travasso with Rosy Alvares and a comedy solo of Comedian Joana that had charming effect on the audience.

Canto - Mario & Jessica

During the interval, the Chief Guest Mr. Nagvencar felicitated Paklo who is involved in organizing the Stage setting which the chief guest in his short speech said is a difficult and laborious task.

Mario Menezes also honoured by the chief guest and in his speech Mario Menezes disclosed how difficult it is to stage our Tiatros in Panjim due to non availability of the Hall. 

If we are made to starve for the Hall then staging of our Tiators will be hampered thereby upsetting the smooth running of our Tiatro business. Tiatro Academy of Goa must apply its mind on this subject very seriously.

Goa Forward Party is synonymous with Fatorda MLA Vijay Sardesai who is the voice of Goa in the Legislative Assembly being a one strong man Opposition who is strongly fighting for Goa and Goans. Goa Forward Party under the able presidency of Prabakhar Timble is the only Party in Goa that is more vociferously raising its voice by organizing public meetings in Goa, against nationalizing Goan Rivers where it will destroy the livelihood of our traditional Goans.

Taking this view in consideration and some other negative aspects of this nationalization,  Goa Forward Party yesterday organized a big public meeting in Siolim at Tarir to condemn this move of government to nationalize the Goan Rivers.  At 5.15 PM the move started with a rally that took the demonstrators to the River where the demonstrators as a symbolic gesture released in the river at Tarir some Paper Boats.

GOANS UNDER MASS-HYPNOTISM.

Sir,

Goans under mass-hypnotism

Everyday, the print and social network media, brings letters, middles and articles, bitterly and angrily lamenting that everything Goan is being destroyed at an alarming rate; that both Congress and BJP State Governments have actively promoted and participated in this process of destruction; that both Congress and BJP State Governments have bulldozed the so-called “Development Projects”, despite people’s on longdrawn protests, appeals, representations etc. Mopa Airport, Tiracol Golf-Course, Casinos and now targeting our Rivers are four (4) among many others, of typical examples of both Goa Governments riding roughshod over Goenkars.

But all this and worse well continue to  haunt Goenkars and Goa, because Goa is a Conquered Land (Supreme Court of India- “Mons. Sebastiao F.X.dos R. Monteiro V/s State of Goa”_ A.I.R. 1970 pg. 329, S.C.) and a Conquered People have no rights, but only duties to do and accept what the Conqueror demands. A Conquered People have no right to make demands, but accept only that which the Conqueror may give, out of his “sweet will and pleasure”.

While all the other State Governments and Opposition Parties, contentiously “fight” to safeguard the assets, interests, aspirations of the People and the Land (State), the Governments in Goa-both Congress and BJP, have done and are doing the exact opposite. The reason for this is that they (both Congress and BJP) are agents of the Conqueror, in the guise of Governments. And we Goenkars, have unwittingly and credulously gone through the motions of elections.

Therefore, all we Goenkars, in and out of Goa, must immediately shake ourselves out of the spell of mass-hypnotism under which we are unsuspectingly and recognize, accept that we are a Conquered People and not a Liberated People. Only then will we stop foolishly making demands, like for example, for “Special Status”; stop fretting about the ongoing process of Genocide of Goenkars and the annihilation of our Goem.

Only then… only then, hopefully we Goenkars will seek a differt path, to save ourselves and our homeland Goem! Hopefully, if atall !!.

“Time is Fast Ticking”
