NEW SONG BY PLGA ON HER MOTHER'S DEATH.

   The beauty of the song is based not only  on its lyrics but also on the way it is rendered.  When one sings a song with his/her beautiful voice the degree of its beauty goes up giving very good satisfaction to the listeners. Not only this even the singers way of singing and modulating of his face is also very much counted.  From the time of the staging of the first Tiatro over 150 years ago, the first known song on 

the dead person,  namely the late Minguel Rod was rendered by the late legendary Young Menezes who was otherwise a jet speed singer known in the history of Konkani songs the singer of longest jet-speed song comprising 500 words.  While singing this song Young Menezes was so exhausted that at one particular point he was holding his own hand to his stomach as a support because due to total exhaustion he was unable to stand erect and sing that song.  At moment it ;looked he was collapsing on the Stage In the history of such songs, this song rendered by Young Menezes will remain as the best, commented  yet another great Tiatrist/singerAlexinho de Candolim the next day, Young Menezes rendered this song in the Tiatro held at the Mattou erected next to the house of Alexinho de Candolim.of whose calibre we are yet to see another like him. As a matter of fact Minguel Rod when he died in 1954 this was the most sorrowful song that was rendered with the exrremely sorrowful Tune of Motetic type.  That this song on Minguel Rod was so powerfully sorrowful that the audience came to know the moment the musicians started to play the introductory music when the singer the late Young Menees who on the musical steps based on the music played by the musical troupe t headed by that great Maestro Violonist Alex.

 

                     Yesterday on Tube I listened to a beautiful sorrowful  song by  the highly political singer  Olga on her  recently expired mother at GMC where as per this song the hospital authorities mishandled her case that it looks  led to her death. Normally Olga is known to sing political songs with her fiery words criticising the ill deeds of the  government but in this particular song on her mother she is totally changed. Olga even though she pinches here and there some` doctors and HM for not being serious and playing with the life of the patients.

                        In this song Olga  indicates how smart she is even  in singing such sorrowful songs with her serene and touchy  voice and touchy way of singing with a slow pace thereby  winning the hearts of the listeners.     It is worth listening and nobody should miss this song she rendered with her eyes all wet.

                          My heartfelt condolences  to   you Olga Bai.

UNFORTUNATE DEATH OF FR.STAN SWAMY. II.

 Regarding the death of Fr. Stan Swamy, I feel there is a foul play in his death by the government.  Who monitored his daily medical intake? Can’t it be like what has happened to Jayprakah Narayan when as indicated by the renowned Journalist Kuldip Nayar in his masterpiece “The Judgement”, on the instruction of Indira Ghandi, special dose of medicine was given to him to detoriorate his Kidney problem so that he dies soon? 

He was arrested under very harsch law which equates him to worst people which is not correct.  He as an 84 year old respectable person and reputed priest belonging to Jesuit, how he can commit such offences at this age?  It was very bad decision to deny him bail for such a long time and treat him like a third grade prisoner where he was denied so many  facilities.  How right it would not have been if  all those who made a big noise of his imprisonment after his death had to do the same when he was alive in prison?  What is this country and its harsch laws some of them needing changes being archaic?  The image of Bharat is  now very much damaged since this issue has hit internationally and people in India itself are become suspicious of these laws.         

Concluded.

MIGRATION DUE TO UNEMPLOYMENT.

 The Herald’s issue of 06.07.21 on 2 topics under “Herald Insighs” column, were very interesting, the first one   reminded us of how  Rane Sr. felt so low seeing in UK our young boys doing the dirty jobs of washing and cleaning  the Bathrooms and Toilets at the Airport.  Rane Sr., please note that if we the real sons and daughters of Goa are suffering in our own land it is only because of our Goa ruled for longer period by the traitors  Maharastrwadi oriented anti-Goans like you.  And on top of it all, you are  hurling a sort of accusation on young and energetic Goan boys coming to do the menial jobs in the UK? You being a holder of topmost post of CM of Goa failed to create job avenues to jobless then I say “to hell with you” stupid man because you are the most irresponsible CM of Goa in the Goan history and whose inclinations towards Maharastrawadis from the day one you joined the anti-Goan MGP are the same.

 

  Pratsphsingh Rane as a Minister starting first in the Minstry of Dyanandna Bandodcar as a Law Minister and then mainly as the CM lived with all the CM’s luxuries for you and for your  family including your son who got all the life amenities and luxuries ready  made.  If it was not like this may be your son or any son of any of the fathers would do the same type of job in  UK.  Now because of his bright stars he got all the benefits and luxuries of  life.

 

Mr. Rane you have I am sure not even cast your cursory glance and never even bothered to find out the position of all those whose names were registered on the Register in the        Employment Exchange and then to make your own assessment how to create the jobs for them. You felt in UK at the Airport our boys are doing the dirty job but you stupid man, there is no dirty or clean job, a job is a job and it has to be to the liking of one who does it. Besides, one must have dignity of the labour.  However, leaving Goa and migrating to UK for the job itself is a dirty exercise for which all the Ranes who were on the forefront to rule Goa must be held responsible in failing to create jobs for the unemployed youth in Goa.   

 

Somewhere in 1958/59, seeing the huge number of Goans employed in the Gulf, the Portuguese Governador of Goa, Vassalo e Silva issued a circular to Goans abroad who were willing to return and work in  Goa, Governador volunteered to provide them with  suitable jobs.  Respondng to this Circular at least as I know, 3 Goans employed at lucrative Oil sectors in Kuwait and at least 4 from Qatar applied to the Governador’s Office in Goa and after proper scrutiny of their Applications they were employed in Goa in the government and Mining sectors.

To be completed.
