Powerful political singer Francis de Tuem sings one of his solos

Creto is seen singing his opening solo

On Wednesday 23^rd of this month, at 8.15 pm in Candolim, in the Church area, I saw the Tiatro “MHAKACH KITEAK” written and directed by Roseferns.  It was well attended by the locals and also was well enacted by the entire troupe.  The story is based on the family life where one member to make money involves in drugs business and in the bargain while accumulating wealth thru illicit business, he performs illicit acts, this role was very well enacted by the seasoned actor Tari. As his wife matured artiste Roma did justice to her role. The others who played their respective roles well were Antonette de Maina, Rosario de Benaulim, Creto and the director Rose Ferns.

The comedy part was well enacted by the three comedians, namely Neto, Selvy and Dorothy.

Side show songs were well rendered by all the singers and they were well appreciated by the audience.  However, special mention must be made to Francis de Tuem for both of his solos, one on the current currency notes problem and the other on threats from the top BJP stalwart against Christians and Muslims.Both these solos are very powerful and well researched. So too to Rose Ferns,  Tari and Rosario de Benaulim for their good solos;  a duet by Roma and R.Benauim, A Trio by Neto – Dorothy – Creto and special song on the Tiatrists by Roma and Antonette de Maina.

This Tiatro MHAKACH KITEAK is enriched with some very good sayings and dialogues in which lies the speciality of Roseferns. Hence, it is worth watching this Tiatro at an earliest opportunity available.

The musical score provided by Teo Alvares and his troupe deserves compliments.

SAD DEMISE OF PEGGY PEEIRA (EX KUWAIT)

It is with deep regret and sorrow I write this piece expressing my feelings over the sudden and untimely death of our friend and colleague Peggy Pereira. I came to know her in Kuwait in 1977 when she was acting in Tiatro at Keefan Hall where she played a beautiful role and then we inducted her in our dramas, Mandos and other extra curricular activities, at that time she was working for Alghanims and later on she joined the Commercial Bank till her retirement. She was very popular figure in the Church as a prominent Choir singer and also doing other Church activities.

Seen extreme right is Peggy participating in Mando Festival at Plaza Hotel, Kuwait.

Being a colleague of Adeeb Soiaber in the Bank and who was also an Anchor at Kuwait TV, she introduced me to Adeeb referring to our movement under Goa-Kuwait Solidarity Center in support of the liberation of Kuwait. After learning from me the details of this movement, I gave Adeeb some photos and Video Cassette of our movement.  Based on this, Adeeb prepared a programme of 7 minutes which he aired on KTV English Channel on 20.09.91.  Thru this programme the entire Kuwait especially the Kuwaitis  came to know what we did for them when their country was seized by Saddam Husseuan.

 

Two years back Peggy is seen in addressing a meet in Panjim to mark the liberation day of kuwait on 26.02.14/

She addressed our meetings  in Kuwait and Goa as well to mark the liberation day of Kuwait and thus gained the goodwill of the people.     

    

She is the daughter-in-law of famous Tiatrist KID BOXER and was very proud of him.

In her death we lost a good friend and an activist  colleague. May her soul rest in peace.

DANGER OF MGP-BJP ALLIANCE.

According to the media reports, MGP and BJP have already formalized their alliance to fight the next election to destroy Goa and “Goencarpon”. This they did because they jointly want to achieve their common goal. When the enemies of Goa and Goencarpon are awakened to work for the achievement of their goal, the so called friends of Goa and Goencarpon are still dormant without doing anything to come under the alliance umbrella to defeat the already formed alliance of our enemies. By not coming under the alliance, the protectors of Goa and Goencarpon are defeating their own goal thereby giving the victory on silver platter to the already formed alliance partners, to destroy Goa, Goencarpon and Secularism  in a worst possible manner. That will be the end of my beloved Goa for whose sake from Kuwait I have done so much within my limited capacity.

It is a long time now we have been hearing the news that Congress Party in Goa is going to have an alliance with the like minded parties having the same goal to achieve, that is, of unseating of BJP from the power.  But as things are moving now,  I doubt the Congress under the current leadership will form an alliance.  In the light of this, will it be right to vote for Congress party which is not going to achieve its goal without the support of alliance partners?  Allowing the victory for the current ruling party will be a great setback for the minorities whose very existence will be in jeopardy.  For this disaster, Congress alone will be held responsible.   

The hardcore anti-Christian parties MGP & BJP will systematically aninhalitate Christians in Goa and to oppose them and stop them none of the current Christian politicians from BJP group will come forward since none of them is having marbles in their underwears of their Christian fathers. A person of Mathanay Saldanha calibre could not stop Parricar from cancelling Christian holidays then what the current  slaves of BJP will do?  

Recently one of their hardcore national leaders Shri Rajeshwar Singh said "The last date for Christians and Muslims in India will be 31st December 2021, they will be exterminated and India will be 100% Hindu country".  This is a very serious statement which so far none of the BJP top leaders condemned which indicates  the mindset of BJP party.
