GREATNESS OF UTUBE IN THE ABSENCE OF TIATROS.


It is said, necessity is the mother of all inventions. This is what has happened for our Konkani Musical Art where Tiatro and songs are concerned which are remained under suspension due to the Corona Virus.  Though the government and political leaders who are on loot spree of Goan wealth for their own benefits they thought in the prevailing situation they will be the  Monarchs of what they survey.  While they were expressing their happiness since no Tiatrists will be able to expose these Goa “Chors” since Tiatrists are the only opponents whom they are afraid.  When they were celebrating their opportunities to grab Goa for them and for their future    generations suddenly the UTube development created an opening for the Tiatrists to reach to everyone not in Goa only but all over the World as well.  Thru this UTube outlet, there is too much of congestion to release their songs not only on political topics which captivate the hearts of Goans but also on other social and family topics.  The power of this campaign is become more energetic and for this reason everybody is going to check the UTube, however, it must be borne in mind that most of these songs are qualitatively  very high deserving topmost compliments for the singers as well as for the lyricists. 


Being at home round the clock under Lockdown situation, I spend more time on watching UTube, then I thought why should I not do the write-up on these especially some of those best songs and advise my readers to see these songs on UTube in which case those who are interested they watch the UTtube  and the producers will get their songs the much needed exposure.

Today I am highlighting on 3 songs which I selected according to my taste and observation as the best, the first one is the beautiful Duet  beautifully rendered by PeteRoshan on the recent  death thru Suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput the well known Bollywood Actor. This song was well composed by the singers and well delivered  by them but still I must say the delicious and tasty voice of Roshan with full of serenity that gave an extra beautiful colour to this otherwise excellent song.  The presentation of both the singers was very good with the beautiful matching dress code in which they both look very attractive. The lyrics were beautified by the beautiful and sorrowful tune that give a Motetic semblance to this song.

One of the most shining stars of Konkani songs currently is Sonia Sirsat the beauty of Konkani and Goan  Musical world.  I first saw her some time back when she was rendering a Portuguese Fado during the reception hosted at Bambolim for the visiting Premier of Portugal where I was also an invitee. Her voice and other singing attributes are rightly meant for the Fado and also for our Mando.  But what I see her now singing on UTube with such a perfection of Konkani Stage singer that she has attained her peak as a singer very beautifully.  Her presentation, actions and modulation and dress code are perfectly well synchronizing. Her one song a solo “Birthday Special” she renders so well with her smiling face that such an excellent song, excellent tune, excellent composition by Samy Tavares I heard only once in C. Alvares Tiatro “Jurament” when I was very young and it rendered by the then beauty queen of Konkani Stage Miss Mohana.. In this song Sonia easily captivates the hearts of all the viewers, her beautiful voice and attractive looks with smiling face give an added booster to this beautiful song.  The credit goes also to her mentor and lyricist Sammy Tavares who must have given a very good direction to her.  In fact of late I noticed vast improvement in Tavares where his songs are become a powerful weapon to educate the Goans in different topics. He at the moment is a great asset for our Tiatros and Songs.

In the above photo you see one of the great singers of Konkani Stage Aniceto singing a very beautiful Duet with yet another beautiful looker and singer Jessica Gomes, the song  "Ghovachem Ghor" was composed by Sammy Tavares.  It is worth spending a few minutes to watch this song and enjoy it, both the singers sing very well where Aniceto depicting the required seriousness while singing just as Jessica does.


Will the void created by the Tiatros be filled by the UTube?  Time alone will give the testimony.

WHERE IS CONGRESS GONE?


WHERE IS CONGRESS IN GOA?  The next two years will just finish within no time and the  election will be declared for the  formation of the next government. Inspite of the heavy  blow Congress received in the last election even by winning more Seats, the Congress still does not look like learnt its lesson and in all probability it may never learn especially as long as all the fit for nothing oldies are having their say an upper hand.  From past experience, people like me have lost our trust in Congress and to rebuild it Congress Party  under its current sincere president  must  declare its CM candidate much before the election, preferably Congress must indicate its CM’s name in its Manifesto itself so that at the last minute there should not be any fighting for the post of CM.  The mandate last time the Congress voters given to the Congress party was not because  of the canvassing and campaigning of the Congress party oldies but it was  purely because of the individual efforts of all the Congress  Party supporters and well-wishers. However, it must be noted well that all those who voted for Congress to give the Congress Party greater number of Seats they were not necessarily Congressmen but they were necessarily  the opponents of BJP and since this was the case these voters wanted to defeat the BJP..

          Everybody knew that the Cogress Party is a rogue party, all the  crookedness, cunningness, dirty politics and other bad characteristics that BJP follows now and because of same the political system and democratic values have been corroded to such a worst level, it was only because of the guilt of Congress. The BJP have learnt all the dirty political tricks from the Congress.  The image of BJP at this moment and since taking over the power in its hands at the State level and also at the Centre,  has gone to so low that Congress Party has failed miserably to capitalize on the flaws of ruling party BJP.  This should have been an opportune time for the Congress Party to tear BJP into pieces but no, Congress Party is again proved to be the party of traitors since some of its members are hand in gloves with the BJP either openly or clandestinely because as per one  source BJP has specially prepared files of some of the senior  Congressmen of all their sins, how they misused their power when they were ruling Goa.  Because of this threat, all the senior  Congressmen without much resistance surrendered their right to the late Bahi who had no shame to make use of dirty politics to grab power.  Most dirty politicians that I came across are from the BJP who initiated the defections to prop up support for BJP and on top of it they take pride in doing what dirty politics they made. This type of rascalisation of politics thru defection is done only by the rascal politicians. But their time is coming very speedily and they will all have to pay the price for the cunningness they perpetrated.  These are the Goan politicians who are most corrupt and thru corruption alone they joined politics and developed there and now they are devouring all the cream of Goa for themselves, they are not doing anything for the people except for  their own chamchas and persons from their inner circle. What they have done for the development of the people from their own constituencies?     In the coming election people must raise this topic by doing the post mortem of what they have done for the growth of common persons.            
       
Secondly, Congress must start prowling on its candidates for the next election now only by               discarding all the earlier useless defeated candidates. There is no chance left for all the defeated candidates because voters have lost their confidence in them because voters found those defeated candidates at least majority of them as proud, cunning, selfish, revengeful and corrupt.  Because of these defects in them regular Congress voters voted against them to teach a lesson to the adamant Party stalwarts who opted for defeated candidates.  And men like Luizinho Faleiro must not push those defeated candidates on our heads. I know Luizin Faleiro last time was acting like God Father for the most corrupt, most arrogant, most proud candidate who created a Ghanttianchi Araddy in my locality for him to be his vote Bank but this bloody corrupt politician  who was harassing the locals from the time he was a local Panch and then Sarpanch and finally when he became an MLA. He was such a sadistic rascal that he would to satisfy his ego  would do any type of harm for his opponents. He got nothing but hatred from the locals.  Nobody should trust him because he is untrustworthy man.  He does not know to keep his friendship for longer period and as far as I know him he is perfect in all the cunningness of Congress.  One of the worst cunning ideas of Congress is their step they have taken just now by supporting the decision of the BJP of reducing the duration of the Assembly session for a Day only.  Here I say that why cant they join together to support the good causes of the people and for their upliftment? 


While selecting its candidates, Congress must take the locals into confidence and with their approval only the selection should be done while Congress Middle and High Commands should be kept at a distance because it is the locals who elect the candidates and not the Congress Panjim Low Command nor Congress Delhi HIGH Command.

PUNISH THE GUILTY MADRASIS.


In his masterpiece autobiography “If I Am Assassinated”  he wrote in the prison cell  where he was imprisoned by the Gen. Zia’s Governemnt in Pakistan, the deposed Premier of Pakistan, the late Zulficar Ali Bhutto, wrote thus against the injustice committed on to him by the General Zia who illegally  dethroned Bhutto from the premiership of Pakistan. Wrote Bhutto: “My sons will not be my sons, they will be Bastards if they don’t take the revenge of those who try to kill me.  Who are my sons?  My sons are Shanawaz and Murtaza (both the real sons of Bhutto) and all the sons of Pakistan are my sons”. This was somewhere in 1979 when Bhutto was hanged by the Gen. Zia’s government in Pakistan,  The book indicated above was published in Bombay, India when its manuscripts were smuggled to Bombay where one of the friends of Bhutto arranged to get it printed though it was banned in Pakistan. 

With reference to the challenge given by Bhutto to his sons, both turned out to be international  terrorists and Plane Hyjackers to harass Gen. Zia’s Pakistan  with the strong backing of the national governments of some Asian and the Middle East Countries.  The Jr. Buttos  for some years and till the accidental  death of Gen. Zia in the Plane crash which also says that was the man made accident done intentionally to liquidate Gen. Zia, , played havoc with the Gen. Zia because of the challenge posed to his authority by both the young Bhuttos as dictated to them by the Senior Bhutto.

Similalrly, in the  same manner, I tell all the close relatives, friends and the well  wishers of both the father and the son duo of Jeyaraj and Beniks of Madras who was in cold blood murdered under the police custody by the most disgraceful, the most disgusted ranking and ordinary Madrasi Police who are known to be possessing wild animalism in their blood, must not leave the guilty  unpunished.  They must take the revenge of the killer Policemen if they are their close relatives and well-wishers. And thru this revenge the message must go loud and clear that no more such killings will be accepted. I feel pity for both the father and son for losing their life but the sacrifices that they made of their precious life should not be allowed to go to waste. Because these sacrifices are too precious, I must tell every person a  man or woman, an Indian or foreigner,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   no matter who is he as long as he qualifies himself to be the male/female to think injustice should be punished, he must use all his talents and resources like the real sons/daughters of their real fathers  they must fight with the guilty murderers the bloody rascal  Policemen if necessary even by infiltrating into the prison cells and teach them the very good lesson.  I am telling this with my firm conviction that I have no trust in the State Government and also the Central Government to deliver justice to the hurt because our system is become corrupt because it is handled by the corrupt administrators, to handle such cases we need Portuguese government because of their strict justice the Portuguese ruled Goa so smoothly.  I admire the Portuguese for giving us Goans justice though Portugal  erred elsewhere but I will never feel shy to indicate my appreciation for Portuguese justice system.   These Madrasi dirty Policemen are the most corrupt and most communal having worst animal taste for blood.  By  committing those 2 crimes against the father and his young son the Hindu Policemen brought shame and disgrace on their otherwise great Hinduism.  Does their Hindu religion teaches them to kill people like this? If you are really Hindu then you will openly accept your guilt and opt for any punishment. You all the barbarian Policemen you have done wrong for your religion which is much better  than you think.  Because of greater number of Indians follow Hinduism in India with dignity and respect, India is still surviving so peacefully and nicely however that does not mean everything is going on smoothly.  Where there are some interruptions they occur only because of the existence of  fanatics like  the criminal Policemen. 


Generally speaking, I found in Kuwait some Madrasis very cruel and rascals,  they have no soft corner  for others, to fulfill their wishes they will go to any extent because most of them I met  in  Kuwait were cruel especially those holding top positions. They were so cowards that in front of their superiors they were like slaves while in front of the staff working under them they were Bastardised Hitlers.  In my company where I was working at Behbehani Motors Co., Shuwakh, Kuwait, there was one Madrasi Manager Gopal by name, he was most inhuman and sadistic man taking pleasure in harassing  staff working under him.  Because of his harassment half the number of over 20 + staff  in his department got afflicted with different type of sicknesses namely Cardiac, Kidney, Brain, BP fluctuations, Diabetics, Tensions and many others.  He was treating the staff in his department working under his managership like a butcher in front of his Goats and on top of it he was shamelessly boasting of his Brhamin Caste status. In fact he was a shame on his Brahmin caste because Brahmins are decent. This bloody stupid Manager of Behbehanis in Kuwait was such a rascal he thought he was an  omnipotent and there was nobody like  him.  No doubt he was educationally  good but otherwise  worst than the wild animal, he was fooling the top management saying  he was an expert but one fine morning under the new top manager who when he noticed that he was an idiot he immediately sacked him without giving any notice. Then tears in his eyes he left for home like a Goat minus all his earlier dadagiris.


This Madrasi Manager was while scolding staff even for silly mistake was screaming like a donkey, he thought he was an extra ordinary man while others stupid. While dismissing him on the spot, his superior told him that you don’t know your job properly and you are unnecessarily harassing the poor staff.  Another top manager used to give him dirty bad words but he was a shameless.  He was not a just man, he was a biased when evaluating staff performance.  He destroyed the good prospects of so many staff by treating them so badly. I am sure if his both sons are his real sons then they will teach  a good lesson for their father who was responsible for destroying so many staff.
