Hey Guys, I am back again with yet another story for you. This time I am presenting to you the story of a Goa’s Legendary Artist and renowned cartoonist who elevated the name of Goa to the International standard. Yes, you guessed it right, I am talking about Legendary Mr. Mario Miranda who set the benchmark in the creative industry of India. The talent in the person is aways observed by their parents at the early age and something similar happened with Mario too. His mother observed the talent of creativity in him right from his early childhood and always encouraged him. The early realization of the inborn talent and encouragement made Mario the Legendary artist Mario De Miranda. Born in the village of Lotolim in south Goa Mario Miranda belonged to the landlord family and was born with the silver spoon. His father wanted him to become an Architecture but Mario was interested in drawing the cartoons from the sheer imagination this lead to start his career with the Times of India as a cartoonist although he had not done any formal training in the fine arts at that time but later he moved into the illustrations and fine arts, claims the sources close to him. It is not only the talent that makes the person great in this world but the humble nature does. Despite the fact that Mario was born in a very rich Goan family he always remained humble to the core, Close to the roots and feet firmly rooted to the ground and these qualities of him made him the Legend. There are stories about Mario getting into the trouble while he was in school for drawing the funny sketches of the catholic priests. Manohar Madgaonkar, one of the Goa’s veteran writer who was very close to Mario since his early days narrated the incident in a biography written by him. According to that, when Mario drew the funny sketch of a priest it landed him in a lot of trouble. Mr. Madgaonkar narrates that, Mario was always found the priest to be a ready-made foil for caricatures. As a child, Mario had been taught to pay respect to clergy and remain disciplined while in the church. So much so that whenever he comes across a priest, he had to bend and kiss their hand. But whenever the opportunity struck he would not fail to make use of it. In his narration, Mr. Madgainkar elucidated that, in those days the priests were required to wear dark hats with wide brims and shoes with enormous metal buckles. At times, say in a stiff breeze with their robes flying and holding on to their hats, they looked so funny that he just could not resist making drawings of them. True, he did his best to hide those drawings from their subjects, but one of the priests felt so affronted that he complained to Mario’s mother and when she, for her part, tried to make excuses for her son, he told her to take him to the Bishop who would know how to discipline her son for his naughtiness. Such more interesting incidents you will find in the cover story of this issue. His story has lot to teach to the new generation and in this issue, you will get an opportunity to find out about the untold moments of his life. I will keep bringing such more stories for you in the coming days and I appeal to you to please send your valuable suggestions on this story to make me enable to improve the contents.
