PROTEST OVER TIATRO COMPETITION AT KALA ACADEMY.

PROTEST OVER TIATRO COMPETITION AT KALA ACADEMY.

Almost every year there is is dissatisfaction over the results of the Tiatro competition and judges are made the culprits for this confusion. I am sure the organizers of this competition are aware of this.  The same thing again appeared this year as shown by the “Seby The Calangute and Troupe”,Calangute group, when they openly indicated their dissatisfaction over the declared results of this year’s competition of “B Group”, with a protest note they presented to the Chairman of Kala Academy a few days back. The protest note was presented by the three representatives of this group that staged their Tiatro “Tum Nhuim” on 18.09.17;  they are shown in the photograph shown above.  Thru RTI they also asked for the details of all the results and how they are derived.

What I have noticed is this that most of the Tiatrists who participate in this competition are not having their confidence in the judges who are selecting the Tiatros for the awards.  As for me, I don’t know how smart and expert and knowledgeable they are in this field or whether they are from Ladru-Pedru category.  If their names and photos were given openly before the competition then it would be nice to know their category.

Secondly, as per my information there is a “match fixing”  going on there to give best prizes for the certain groups and also bribe too is playing its role as I am told since one insider is the person involved in taking this bribe.  The real truth in this matter will be known gradually.

When the organizers and the judges join together to deny the deserving artistes their awards then it becomes a robbery and crime against justice.  Hence, it is imperative to raise one’s voice against this injustice as Seby the Calangute group has done.  The others who feel they are also cheated then they must also follow.

UNHYGIENIC FILTY CONDITION AT GMC.

There is a saying in Konkani, “Kharveank nhoi Ghorvam ani Rendrank nhoi Tarvam”.  This is what it is happening in India’s political administrative  system while it is not in USA where every portfolio is allocated by the President to the best person available in his particular field.  During the Gulf War for the liberation of Kuwait, the defense portfolio was held by Dick Cheney who was an expert in Arms and Ammunition that resulted in the appropriate usage of appropriate weaponry for the victory in that war.

Krishnan Menon and Manhohar Parricar turned out to be the biggest IDIOTS as Defense Ministers of India because under the former India suffered the worst defeat from China and under the latter the most humiliating attacks by the Pakistani terrorists. Raj Narain was responsible for bringing disgrace on Health Ministry of India during the rule of Janata Party when he held the Health portfolio inspite of being ignorant of this subject.

Now it is the same story in Goa of Visvajit Rane as Health Minister. I don’t think he got any knowledge of health requirements and yet he demanded this portfolio for him for its lucrativeness and not for the promotion of Health care of the Goans.

During the last six months I was admitted to GMC Hospital twice, first time for the operation of Cataract and now last week for the Chest pain.  During both the occasions I found the Servants, the Nurses and the doctors are doing excellent job.  But the worst thing there you will find is the Toilet and Bathroom facilities. In Ward No. 142 where I was admitted both the Toilets lacked the proper door facilities, both were dirty and stinking, dirty water flowing on the ground, there was no Bathroom nor changing room, both the toilets were common for both the genders.  The entire area around Toilets was nauseatic and unbearable for human beings.

I was told by a reliable source that inspite of getting good treatment free of charge, more Goans prefer to go to Private Hospitals by paying huge amount undeservingly and leaving migrants and non Goans to use better medical facilities of GMC. Goans dislike BMC more because of its filthy hygienic condition.

The Health Minister if he is a real civilized person then he will investigate this matter and rectify the flaws existing at GMC.  He is known to simply boast  saying he has done this and that for the improvement of Health service but in reality he has done nothing. Like his father, he took false credit for himself for doing nothing.  To supervise such a massive hospital like GMC is not a joke especially for a man who got Zero knowledge of  medical science.  You require experts and knowledgeable persons to run this hospital and not Babas and Babus.

COMPETITION TIATRO "TU MHOJE SUKH"

COMPETITION TIATRO “TU MHOJE SUKH”

One of the lovely pairs seen acting

On 25^th of this month, at Kala Academy Panjim, starting at 7.00 PM, I saw the Tiatro “Tu Mhoje Sukh” presented by JJ Production, St. Cruz and attended by a good number of attendees.  This was one of the best Tiatros of this competition so far where every artiste peprformed well.  However, especial mention must be made to the roles played by Clint and Antonette as husband and wife and Sybil as their elder daughter. Velony Dias played her role well too  In the comedy roles, both Valanka and Rod did well but the former did extremely well.
