BHARADIK KHURIS - TIATRO

ON 22nd of this month, I saw the Tiiatro “Bharadik Khuris” written and directed by one of the topmost Tiatrists and an ace comedian Prince Jacob, in Candolim at Orda St. Sebastiao,, starting at 8.00 PM and attended by a good number of audience. This was on the occasion of the feast of the Chapel of St.Sebastiao which is celebrated every year on 20th of January.

The story of this Tiiatro is very much relevant today since it is written at an appropriate time when our children are filling the Old Age Houses or Asilos with their parents and other elders. These children how they treat their aged parents by using them to get their money and then dumping them in the Asilos is very pitiable. Since this Tiatro is going on in many parts of Goa, I refrain from disclosing the whole story which should be seen by the Tiatro lovers by physically witnessing such a wonderful story made by the director.

Every artiste played his/her role well but special mention must be made for Candida and the man who played her husband’s role, Valency de Calangute, Avers Pereira and Jude Michael Gracias and in comedy part Prince Jacob introduced Jadu/Magic type of comedy to the delight of every AUDIENCE and he was well supported by Oswin and Evona. Both the last two named have got good future on Konkani Stage.

The Side Show songs were good but Avers Pereira’s solo on our lady of Perpet Sucur Saibinmae deserve highest marks for his excellent composition, singing and presentation.

As a whole, this Tiaitro is worth seeing. Well done Prince Jacob and his entire troupe.

IS EVERYTHING OK IN GOA IN MINISTRY FORMATION?

Is everything going ok in Goa with regards to the formation of the Ministry and the other aspects because I think important work is kept pending since the last 3 months when somewhere in January this year as per the system, the Code of Conduct was introduced. Is it allowed to delay for such a long time now after the results of the election was already declared? However when last time during those few turbulent days, only 2-3 days there was heavy demand on the Congress to submit its list to the Governor for the formation of Ministry. Compared to 2-3 days of last time now it is about 10 long days where the BJP is allowed to sleep over the list of its Ministry. I feel in view of this, such a long delay by the BJP, if it is fair as per the law, Congress should submit its list immediately with the acquisition of few more purchasable MLA's thru the ingenuity of my friend Micahel Lobo who is expert in this field. There was expectation in the Michael Lobo circle that due to his expertise he indicated 5 years back, Lobo will again do something similar and help his Congress Party to form the ministry. People in general and BJP's in particular are eagerly awaiting the formation of ministry. They too are fed-up of waiting for such a long period. Is this such a long delay in the formation of delay is constitutionally permissible? Or Governor who is the symphatiser of BJP is playing the dirty trick of using the delay to mame this delaying tactics work for the benefit of BJP? If this delaying tackitcs are unconstitutional then Governor should be heavily reprimanded. This can be a one more reason to facilitate the BJP to bring Goa under its total control. There is a saying in Konkani thhat says "Raza Podon mhontlear Mort marler zata?" In other words just because BJP has got powerful influence can they do n

ELECTION RESULTS AS EXPECTED.

As expected the results of the election favouring BJP to form its Ministry is confirmed. However, I feel pity for the voters of Congress because most of them were sincere to the Congress but unfortunately Congress is not serious to protect the interest of its followers. Gone were the days when Congress Party was manned by the giants of those days but now sadly Congress Party is lacking not only in giants but even an ordinary office boy in its administration. After the last debacle 5 years back, Congress mysteriously accepted lying down the betrayal of its 10 defectors without creating the necessary uproar, both the headquarters of Congress at Delhi and Panjim were almost dumb thus sending the message to all the Congressmen and its supporters that this very same Congress party once was a giant killers is now turned into a pale shadow of its former glory. There is no point in taking pleasure in highlighting the greatness of its yesteryear leaders in whose absence there is not a single leader in it to revive its functioning. In view of this pathetic situation will I make a mistake if I say R.I.P. Congress at least in Goa? It is not enough for Congress Chief in Goa, Girish Chodoncar to accept the defeat and resign but more than anything else he should be castigated for continuously saying till the last minute that Congress is heading for the victory. Why this fooling or was he so ignorant not to read the writings on the walls? Now the little hope I have is on the AAP and RG to play the role of opposition constructively even their numerical strength is miniscule. A.Veronica Fernandes.
