ADEUS CONGRESS.

Finally Congress has closed its doors for an alliance with any party in Goa  and thus opened the doors for its opponents to regain the power that Congress looks internally wants.  Otherwise knowing the people’s mood as anti-Congress just as it was during the last election, Congress would have submitted itself into alliance with the like minded parties not only to defeat the ruling party but more than that to save its little left over existence.  This stubbornness of Congress will cost it very dearly, so much so I am sure Congress will be totally wiped out from Goa as it happened in the first election in Goa.  Thru this decision Congress has proved that it is an enemy of Goa and “Goencarpon” and a friend of those who are all out to destroy Goa and Goencarpon.   

Digvijay Singh by living in Delhi is an unknown factor to do the prognosis of the mood of Goans and relying on the coterie of a few Congressmen in Goa who are not interested in the well being of the party other than their own benefits at party’s cost, will do no good for the party to regain its lost glory. As given to understand, by doling and selling the election tickets to the defeated candidates, oldies, party deserters and rebels, the R.I.P. of Congress in Goa is already scripted.  Adeus Congress. You have betrayed the genuine supporters of Goa and Goencarpon. In the books of Goan history you will be known as destroyer of Goa and Goencarpon. Adeus.

TIATRO "ANJ BODDVO" BY PASCOAL DE CHICALIM.



ANJ BODDVO.

On Sunday, 27th of this month at 10.45 in the morning at Mapusa, I saw the Tiatro “ANJ BODDVO” Written and directed by Pascoal de Chicalim .  Though it was not a houseful attendance wise yet  it was a good number.  Though the audibility in the hall is bad due to defective Mike system  yet people were satisfied.  However, next time the directors must use their own Mike system as they do in the villages to avoid nuisance of Mike system of the hall at Hanuman Theatre, Mapusa.

Storywise the Tiatro was good and all the artistes played their roles well.  Though they are most of them new to me yet their performance was worth admiring especially of females deserving highest compliments, even in singing of Side Show songs they proved their worth. The role played by Coelho of a handicapped boy is extremely good deserving highest award. The word Anj Boddvo is used in figurative sense indicating the birth of a handicapped child.

Side show songs were good but Saby de Divar’s political solo was very good. His presence had very good effect on the Side Show and if there were few more like him the impact would be more.

As a whole, this Tiatro is worth admiring.

During the interval, the chief guest Mr. A. N. Nagvenkar of “Ann Institute of Hotel Management & Catering Technology” who is also a philanthropist businessman and a great lover of Tiatro,  financially helping many Tiatrists to stage their Tiatros,  in his very humble speech declared his candidacy in Aldona Constituency for the forthcoming election as an independent candidate and asked the voters to vote for him.

TIATRO "MHAKACH KITEAK" BY ROSEFERNS.

On Wednesday 23rd 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.   


Comedians Neto & Selvy

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.
