Treasures out of ‘Firewood’
He had this penchant of collecting material that others thought was ‘firewood’ right from early childhood. Every item he collected was related to day-to-day living. One day he had to go to Lucknow to collect the prestigious National Award for Painting that was bestowed upon him by the Lalit Kala Academy. When he returned, he found that his collection was burnt to ashes because it was thought to be as good as firewood. But Victor Hugo Gomes did not give up. “I never lost heart,” he says. He started with the collection all over again. “When I saw something that interested me, I paid whatever I had at that time, even a few rupees, as a token amount and asked people to keep the articles for me. I’ll never forget. I never had money. Sometimes I collected these articles after years. Some waited while some sold what they had,” he reveals. All this was aimed at a dream. A dream he wanted to fulfill. “When I married Aldina, we took a decision that we would not have a child. I know it went against all norms of society and religion,” argues Victor. “I had a dream and this dream would be my child,” Victor states. His wife found it very difficult to take it. “But when things started shaping up, she realized the dream,” he says. Goa Chitra is the dream… It is ‘a dream come true’ for Victor Hugo and his wife Aldina… “Today we have developed a project for children, no matter what,” he asserts. He feels children of today must be in touch with their rich ancestry. “Today’s children don’t ask questions,” laments Victor. It is important for them to know what their ancestors have left behind for them. These were passed on from generation to generation. Today, the modern culture is concentrated on aping what we see. “Together we need to preserve and pass what we have inherited to our children,” Victor strongly proposes. Victor has been collecting since long. He has an inspiration behind that, “I was born here and God has given me 40 years of life. It is now time to give back from what I have learnt. Goa Chitra is all about giving back.” Goa Chitra is where the ancestral treasures of Goa surface. These are treasures that were used mostly in agricultural activity. There are 40000 exhibits and they belong to 40000 different people from various parts. “What is important is that they trusted me and sold the artifacts to me,” states Victor. People wanted to throw most of these things out, but Victor prevailed upon them to sell it to him. Most of them, when they visit the museum today feel proud to see what has happened to those ‘discarded’ items. Victor recounts that while he was once at Neturlim, he interacted with some Dhangars there. There was a basket lying discarded around the place. He bought the basket and they laughed at him! “When I invited the same people who laughed at me to come in and see the museum, they cried when they saw what had happened to their basket,” says Victor. There was a lot of time spent at scrap yards and even cleaning pipes and storerooms, ‘maddos’ searching for what he knew was hidden treasure. But he always had that steady vision in his mind. In one case, there was an antique pot that was placed in a room and probably the walls were built around it since it could not be brought out of any door leading to the room. This one man’s vision has today become a peoples’ project. The one man show went to the extent of trying to find out minute details about the artifacts. This task was even more difficult considering that there was absolutely no documentation available. The process of finding out the names was tedious. The actual problem is that in Konkani only the broad names are available. ‘Nangar’ for example, is the broad name for a plough. But what is important is Victor has managed to find the correct names of each the implements used. He started by finding out the actual Konkani names. For this he rummaged through all the Konkani dictionaries, listened to old Konkani songs and studied old Konkani sayings to trace out the words. He had now created his own glossary. With this glossary, he visited every nook and corner of Goa interviewing elders who worked on different types of soils. Some of the interesting findings were: He noted that there were 17 operations in rice cultivation itself and found the original Konkani terms used for each of them. There are also 13 a different type of soils on which crop is cultivated. Another finding was that agricultural implements used in sandy areas could not be used in rocky areas and vice-versa. His interviews with farmers revealed how a plough used differed for different types of soils. The ‘kosso’ (pointed plough) was used on hard ground and terraced lands like those in Canacona, the ‘pan/pane’ (hat plough) were used in sandy areas and along the coastal areas and Khazans and the ‘dangri nangar’ (two-piece plough) was used on laterite soil like in the valley regions of Farmaguddi. Goa Chitra is a one man creation. There have been no advisers. The architecture, soil preparation and design are all the handiwork of Victor. “What is important is the friendly feel of the museum,” informs Victor. The exhibits are not enclosed in glass partitions so as to make the viewer feel one with the exhibits. He has even set up an organic farm, the idea being, “People can see for themselves how the implements were used. This is a live museum.” The women in their life do become inspirational for most men. “I grew up with my grandmother who could not see in her old age. She could not read, but she would tell us about what she saw of Goa when she had her vision,” reminisces Victor. There was also his mother who never threw out anything. “She had a cupboard stored with toys from our childhood. Each child had one shelf. When I opened the cupboard, what I found was shocking. In the span of 15 years we had jumped from wooden toys to Barbie dolls! The other inspirational woman in Victor’s life has been his wife Aldina. “Aly always thought me to believe in myself,” says an emotional Victor. “She gave me constant support to help me believe in myself. She never allowed me to deviate from my goal,” Victor admits proudly. Victor’s dream, which is now a full-fledged reality, still keeps his creativity afloat. His concept of the ‘Great Music Revival’ has now taken shape as a promotional activity for Goa Chitra. This creative idea of promoting live music emanates from Victor’s vast experience as an organizer. I still recall the lad who sat on the same bench as me in school. Victor was unassuming and absolutely creative then and continues to be now. In those years he went on to be the first organizer for the very popular ‘Arlem Festival’ at a time when Event Managers were unheard of. His organizational skills still hold him in good stead. For Victor, Goa Chitra is not just one more museum. He has done a lot to make it more informative and completely different, probably just one of its kind. He has taken the trouble to prepare documentation on all implements displayed in the museum, and more. The museum can thus serve as a laboratory for students as well as researchers to come and study the glorious past of Goa’s agricultural heritage.
