TIATRO KHORENCH MOG TO KUDD'DDO

COMPETITION TIATRO “KHORENCH MOG TO KUDD’DDO.

On 21^st of this month, at Kala Academy Panjim, I saw the Tiatro written by Amar Sawant  starting at 7.00 PM.  Attended by the mediocre number of attendees, it was well presentd by Media People Entertainment, Neturlim where all the artistes played their roles well and  every singer sang well. However, Creto, Eddy, Gloria, Meena and Krishna Gawas played their oles very well.

The story revolves around deep love  beetween Creto and Meena and because of this love the total disaster comes as it was beautifully shown in this Tiatro.

The comedy part was extremely well performed by the ace comedian Ortencio who was ably supported by Milban and Evola. 

In the Side Show songs, all the singers sang well but especial mention must be made to the songs rendered by Ortencio, Evola, Francis Xavier and Candida. All the sons including the Cantos were composed by Ortencio.

Well done Amar Sawant and his troupe including the Musicians.

On 18^th of this month at Kala Academy Panjim, I saw the competition Tiatro “Tum Nhuim” written and directed by Saby de Calangute.  No doubt it was thinly attended yet it was well performed by all the artistes.

The story indicates the power of God for anything is in His hands and not in you and me. It is thru this power that one handicapped brother Anderson wins the court case over his  other able bodied brother Derek  who wanted to grab the entire wealth of the family for himself.  Both the brothers played their roles well so too  the elder brother’s wife Loyena , she showed all the best qualities in her performance  and indicated that she is ready at any moment to join the professionals.

All the three comedians namely Johny, Anthony and Rima  performed  very well and they all  deserved compliments. Rima was extremely talented comedian.

The Side Show songs were good where besides others  both the youngsters Shawn and Andrew rendered their songs very well. Andrew in particular was extremely good in singing with style.  Agostinho’s solo on Tiatro history was very well composed and rendered.

The Scenes shown were very good and Stage setting was also good.  The director took lot of pains to stage this Tiatro for which he deserves highest compliments.

FEAST OF REMED SAIBINN AT MONTEIROS CHAPEL, CANDOLIM.

MONTEIROS CELEBRATE FEAST OF THEIR CANDOLIM CHAPEL.

Monteiro's Chapel of Remed Saibinn approx. 300 years old

15^th of this month, in Candolim at Monteiro’s Chapel, the feast of "Remed Saibinn" was celebrated. During my younger days I still remember how the devotees used to come in big number to celebrate this feast as this Remed Saibinn was known to create miracles of granting the sick the remedial cure after paying homage to this Chapel dedicated to Remed Saibin. Remed in Portuguese means Medicine and all who asked cure for their sicknesses they used to get immediate cure after praying in this Chapel.  The visit to this Chapel was like Medicine for the sick.

                                                               The main Altar

The ancestral palatial house (built in 1603) seen next to this Chapel belonged to Monteiro family  whose one son the late Dr. Gustavo Monteiro was the most popular not only in his locality but even beyond.  He was like medicine for most of the sicknesses of human beings not only physical but also in other respects.  He was a very helpful man who used to help people in whatever way he could.  After his death there is no replacement for him born in Candolim and according to me it is unlikely in the future too.   His other brother Pe. Chico Monteiro too was one of the most popular priests in Goa who was a great social worker and highly intellectual.

                                      The anchestral palatial house of Moteiro built in 1603

Dr. Jose Monteiro the elder son of the late Dr. Gustavo Monteiro is yet another doctor in the family currently carrying forward the tradition of Monteiro family of giving medicinal cure to the physical sicknesses of the patients who are coming to his Clinic even from distant places. Dr. Jose's younger daughter is also a well known doctor attached to GMC.
