MARCH 2014 MONTHLY REFLECTION “BEHOLD I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK” (Revelations 3:20) Rev. Fr. Augustine Vallooran V.C.'s March 2014 Monthly Reflection - "BEHOLD I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK (Revelations 3:20), [ 繁體中文版 / 简体中文版 reminds every Christian how we can experience the fullness of God's Grace in our lives when we turn back to God - surrendering our lives to Him and turning away from sin. "Lent is a Season of Grace, when God is waiting to repair every damage affecting our life and restore us to the glorious existence that He always intended for us. This is the Season of Salvation when the invitation of the Lord rings in our heart, "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand." (Mark 1:15) The image before our eyes is the Lord standing at the door of our hearts, waiting patiently and knocking at the door, reminding that He is there for us to bring light into our darkened hearts and homes."

"In our day to day living, we turn away from God and as a result end up with hurts and wounds that haunt our memories and attitudes to life and to our future. As a result, we live life disturbed and distressed. Our relationships get strained. Frustrations accumulate in our hearts. We become victims of the tides of our moods and life gets drained of all charm. We come to God asking for small favours like success in business, a good percentage of marks in our exam results, healing of aches and pains. We pray for such favours because we have misinterpreted our problem by superficial standards. However God who alone has delved the depths of our hearts knows where all our unhappiness stems from. Hence when we turn to God, the first thing He does is to take authority over sin in our heart. Sin that blocked our connection with God has alongside blocked the flow of graces into our lives."

"Repentance means turning to God with a firm determination to surrender our lives to Him. This conversion comes to us when we realize how we lost the joy and meaning of life in the ways of sin. The Lord promises here that when we are totally surrendered to Him, the Kingdom of Heaven will be established in our lives. This is an offer of love - revealing to us what God always intended for our lives. He is waiting to take authority over everything gone wrong in us as He did with the paralyzed man. When He becomes the Lord and King of our lives, the Kingdom of God is ushered into our hearts. St. Paul tells us this state of God's sovereign rule in our hearts brings in the righteousness, peace and joy of the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17)."

"There is often a gross misunderstanding that God comes to punish and to curse when man commits a sin. No wonder, when something unfortunate happens, we are inclined to blame God! When we fail in some endeavour or our dear ones fall ill or even when there is a natural catastrophe, the first reaction of man is the fear and despair of being punished by God. Such a thought leads us away from love, hope and faith in God. Indeed it is not a punishing God whom

came calling Adam by name. To call someone by name means an approach of love and consideration. The question God asked Adam is very significant, "Who told you that you were naked?" (Genesis 3:11) The shame and emptiness that Adam felt was not God's verdict but man's own making. “If we are faithless, He remains faithful” (2 Timothy 2:13) There is often a gross misunderstanding that God comes to punish and to curse when man commits a sin. No wonder, when something unfortunate happens, we are inclined to blame God! When we fail in some endeavour or our dear ones fall ill or even when there is a natural catastrophe, the first reaction o man is the fear and despair of being punished by God. Such a thought leads us away from love, hope and faith in God. Indeed it is not a punishing God whom Jesus came to reveal. Rather Jesus spoke to us about a God who loves us to the ultimate point of giving Himself to us to make sure that we do not perish in the curse of sin - "God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life." (John 3:16) However it remains true that everyone who lives in sin is in a state of emptiness and shame. It is not what God brings to him but it is the eventuality of his option of sin rejecting God. The Word of God tells us that "The wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23) The rejection of God necessarily brings in a culture of death that takes away all that is beautiful in the human heart and relationships. A ray of light cut off from the lamp becomes darkness. A stream isolated from the spring dries up. The dryness and emptiness that man feels is not a punishment that God gives to him but a ruin that he brings upon himself by cutting himself off from the source of his life and happiness. In every such unfortunate moment, God comes calling man, waiting to take authority over all the destruction wrought by sin as He did at Eden with Adam. Adam did not turn to God in repentance; rathe he began to blame the other. "The woman you gave me led me to this sin." There human bond ruptured. The earth began to rebel against man by putting out vicious thorns and thistles, demanding hard labour for fruit. This was the loss of Paradise. Even then, man was not abandoned by God but was instead promised a Saviour who would crush the authority of sin enslaving man. God also consoled man by availing for him stitched leather garments to cover his shame. Jesus reveals to us that the Way of Salvation is in the direction of turning to God in the moments of our ruin in sin. In the remarkable parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus paints the fascinating picture of a fathe eagerly waiting for the son who rejected him (Luke, Chapter 15). When the son goes away into his choice of alienation from the father, he slips into penury and wretchedness. This would seem a fitting penalty for the cold-hearted, wayward son. However the father’s heart was set on the restoration of the son. The moment the son returns towards the home, the father rushes to him to welcome and accept him, surpassing all norms of natural justice and propriety. He restores to the son everything that was lost. There was great rejoicing in the family. Jesus ends the parable by asserting that this joy was what heaven was made of. "There will be great rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents." (Luke 15:10) “If you return, then I will restore you” (Jeremiah 15:19) While I was in a South Indian city for a programme, a couple came to meet me. They were beaming with smiles. They came to thank me for what the retreat did for them five years ago. The husband was a software engineer and the wife a school teacher. They were happily settled with their two children when he got an offer of a job in a Gulf country. The whole family was overjoyed at what they understood as a breakthrough in the husband's professional and the family's financial status. The wife suggested that he head first to the new country and make himself secure in the job ad find a suitable accommodation for the family. She proposed to stay back with the children till the end of that academic year after which the entire family would join him. He proceeded to the Gulf and took up the job. In the desert, he felt very lonely. He would call home twice daily to speak to his wife and children at morning and night. A month later, he was invited to a party by one of his colleagues. There a lady was introduced to him. She was very considerate and friendly and began to keep in touch with him. Soon the relationship slipped into sinful dimensions. A couple of months later, a fierce-looking stranger came to his flat one evening and showed him pictures of his intimacy with this woman. To his great shock he realised he was caught in a trap and compromised. The goon black-mailed him that he could have these photographs publicised and it would cost him his job, his reputation and everything he had. He could even be imprisoned in this alien country. He begged this stranger to spare him and his family of the shame and all that would ensue. This man in a threatening tone warned him that for this, he would have to pay him an exorbitant ransom amount every month. To manage this, the man realised he had to work overtime. He was so shattered by guilt that he could not speak to his wife and children. He was unable to support them or send any amount regularly. Meanwhile, the family was preparing to join him. They were very

distressed that there was no communication from him. He somehow managed to return home but had become an alcoholic wreck. The wife was grieved and confused by the horrible change in her husband. She could hardly recognise the man who had returned from the Gulf. It was in this situation that they came for a retreat. The husband was not ready to open up his hidden load of sin and its disastrous consequences. However, with the help of the Holy Spirit I was able to help him to bare out the unbearable burden in his heart. Later in a disposition of prayer, I led him to share with his wife the painful secret of his past. They felt the powerful Presence of the Holy Spirit healing them and comforting them. As they reached home, they spent their days in prayer and going for the Holy Mass every day. With the help of a friend, he could secure a job. They are now living together as a witnessing family - praising and thanking God for rebuilding their lives and for the new lease of joy and sharing in their marriage! We are reminded of the psalmist who describes blessedness as when transgressions are forgiven and sins are atoned and expiated by the Mercy of the Lord. “When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long...Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.” (Psalm 32:3,5) We are tired of life because of the burdens placed on us. This season of Lent, the Lord is inviting us to abandon ourselves into His arms that surround us - to forgive us and restore us to fortunes that slipped away - leaving us in an impoverished existence. The world today is slipping rapidly into despair because it chooses to cling to and persist adamantly in the wrongs of the past, finding fault with everyone else for its misfortunes. We, however, are invited to move ahead in life towards our sovereign God who is waiting to manifest His glory. Let us pray God of Mercy and Compassion, we thank You for this season when You call us again to taste Your unchanging and liberating Love. Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, for You are the Love that alone can fill our hearts and bring meaning to our lives. Today we are tired of life and lost in relationships only because our hearts wandered away from You. As we return to You, Lord, we want to place in Your Hands all that burdens us - all our failings and secrets that we were ashamed of. We place in Your Hands every area of life where You had no control. Lord, we pray, be the Lord and Master of our lives for when You lead us, our life will be worth living and will become a blessing to this world. Lord we thank You for Your Mercy that is never exhausted and Your Graces that are ever new. Amen.

ICONS PAGE Despite being an extremely talented person, Sigmund remains a kind and giving soul, effusively non-cutthroat in a tough, competitive industry that often rewards artists acting out. Speaking with him as he readied himself for a performance, he was happy discussing everything. Our Goan connection in him runs deep and you distinctly hear it in his beautiful music. The connection is also found in his gracious attitude as he gladly gives of his time, doing what comes naturally to keep the music he loves so much, alive and relevant. It’s a true Goan sensibility: keeping it simple, keeping it real, honoring the place, and always being the wonderful, amiable host. He has an energetic personality and rapid fire flow. Get to know him through this interview. • Tell us about yourself My Dad worked for the British Post and Telecom as a telephone engineer in British East Africa. My Mum has always been a housewife. So like my two older brothers I was born in Tanga, Tanzania. I have a younger sister who was born in Dar e Salam. I have been singing for as long as I can remember. I just love the stage. And God has blessed me with a very versatile and strong voice, and a very good range. When I passed SSC, I asked my Dad for a guitar instead of a bicycle (like my two older brothers did). So that’s how I started playing the guitar. I first placed my hands on a guitar when I returned to Goa with my parents in 1972. I was five and a half years old. We went to stay at my Grandmother’s place in Aldona. My uncle Ricardo owned a guitar and it has been a love affair with the instrument ever since. I am a God fearing person. I believe that if you steal something from somebody, you have got to pay it back in double somewhere else. I believe that I am born a Goan for a reason, and so I am very passionate about my fight to save the Comunidades and to preserve the Goan identity and language. I used to be very good at painting and sketching in school. I also loved sports. I represented my college team in Hockey, when we won the University title in 1987. I won the Mr. Xavier Title in my final year of Graduation at St. Xavier’s College, Mapusa, for being the best all-round student. I have a file full of certificates, mostly from sports and elocution competitions during my school days. I believe in being original, in brining my individuality into everything I do, be it music, writing, activism, sports management, etc. I believe that one must walk off the beaten path, and discover new paths for others to follow. I am a leader not a

• Was music an easy vocation for you? Music came easily to me. But my parents did not want me to become a musician because they feared I would end up living a life of wine, women, and song; and basically end up becoming a drunkard. My Dad never came to any of my stage performances. I worked very hard to get to where I am and I still do. A friend of mine took me to the Haystack, in Arpora, after I had finished my college. I was so fascinated with the singers saw there like Remo, Lucio, and Alexandre, that I went back a day later and met August Braganza, who owned the place and asked him to give me a break and he did. I used to shake like a leaf in those days and I suffered from stage fright, but I still just loved to be on stage. Looking back now, I realise that I must have had a lot of self confidence, though at the time I believed that I had none, but only a determination to succeed. And succeed I did. I must have made a lot of mistakes then, but I always got people on the floor. I worked very hard to lose my stage fright and my negative mindset. I learned how to visualize for success. I have had no God Fathers in my career. If you work hard, you are professional, honest, disciplined and determined, you will succeed. And people will help you. Nothing came easy for me in my professional music career, except my ability to speak on various topics because I used to read a lot and I was a journalist. I faced a lot of hostility in the initial years from fellow musicians, mostly because they envied me. I believe in being straight forward and not holding negativity inside me. I forgive easily. Negativity destroys your soul and will make you a very unhappy person. • Any striking incident that left a deep impact in your life or changed the course of your life? I used to be a super confident child and win all the competitions I took part in. But suddenly in my teenage years, I lost it all. I never won a single competition, be it in singing or elocution, from my 8th standard till my final year of graduation. That’s 8 years of failure. But I worked hard on my mind, read a lot of books on psychology, public speaking, and confidence building. Then I won first place for a singing contest at my NSS camp site in Sal village, in Bicholim Taluka, when I was in 3rd year. Because someone had spread a false rumour about me, the whole camp was against me, except my Programme Office Mr. Gomes. I sang my own composition for the contest, a Konkani song titled ‘Sakallchea Parar’. And everything changed from there. I even won back a few admirers among my colleagues that evening. That is why that win was even sweeter. It is still deeply etched in my mind’s eye. I cried that night. I felt like a spell had been broken. I never looked back since.

ICONS PAGE Another high was when I sang with Lorna for her comeback concert at Miramar in 1995. That was completely unexpected and a dream come true. I grew up on a lot of country music. Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley, John Denver and a host of other country singers. When my second brother Savio reached college, I was exposed to Pink Floyd, the Dire Straits and Deep Purple. And Bob Marley. Remo has been a big role model in my early years. I still look up to him for inspiration. I think what he has achieved is not only phenomenal; he set a standard and opened a window for us younger Goan musicians to follow. I have been writing songs since the age of 8. The songs in my upcoming solo album are all originals. The earliest one is Wandering Guy which I wrote when I was 14. And the rest followed at regular intervals after that. But I had no encouragement and support to record my own album. I recorded an album with the Valadares Sisters in 1996. I have been working on recording this album since 2004. I tried many recording studios, but was not happy with the attitude of the sound engineers. Musicians and sound engineers in Goa are too stuck with one style of music. They cannot think out of the box. But finally when Noel (Nini) de Souza invited me to record in his studio two years back, I knew I had finally found a fellow professional of the same wave length. I owe him for this one. He put in a lot of effort into my album. I was lucky to have a good sound engineer like San Page to master my music. Goa means everything to me. It is my life. I had many opportunities to further my career both in Jounalism and Music outside of Goa. But I turned them all down. In fact, I worked for the Bombay based Mid-Day newspaper for seven years, and pioneered the FM Radio scene in Goa with Radio Mid Day in the mid nineties. I speak Konkani, I am very respectful of others, I am a Roman Catholic (not a very obedient one, I must admit), I am a Gaunkar of the Comunidade of Serula, I sing songs in Portuguese though I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak the language ( my wife does). These are the proud Goan traits I have inherited from my Mum, who is from Aldona and my Dad, who is from Socorro. I would like to see the Gaunkars, who are the real Goans, get control of their Comunidades or autonomous Commune village lands. I would like to see the rule of law, which has eroded in recent years, re-established in my homeland. And most importantly, I would be very happy if Goan youth felt prouder of their roots and spent more time learning and understanding their rich history and language. I would like to see more original Goan music hitting the stands, especially in Konkani (which is facing a shortage of original tunes). And I would love to see Goans, especially the younger ones, set up their own business enterprises, irrespective of size, and not wait to be spoon fed. And by the way, because I could not find a good record label to believe in my music, I decided to launch my own label - SDS Music International, to release my music.

Frederick Noronha GOA INDIAs Goa do século 18 , a partir da beira do colapso a próspera hub -------------------------------------------------- ----------Frederick Noronha -------------------------------------------------- ----------Um dos mais recentes livros nas prateleiras é Globalização Goa, por Ernestine Carreira. O título e subtítulo deixam claro que se trata do período de 1660-1820 , eo tema de "mudança e troca ina antiga capital do império " . "Capital do Império ? " alguém que viu o livro , exclamou em voz alta. Sim , que na verdade era a posição de Goa, embora hoje que muitas vezes ignoram seu lugar na história . Sua tela é grande : entender o "lugar ocupado Goa " globalmente e na Índia , antes do " advento do Raj britânico ." Isso não era insignificante. Ela explica -o assim: " (Goa ) foi o capital de um império marítimo europeu, que esteve à beira de colapso no tumultuoso século XVII, apenas para se tornar um próspero centro cultural , religioso e diplomático no século XVIII século " . Ela ressalta que ele construiu " relações estreitas com o maiores impérios continentais do dia - Mughal , Maratha e Mysore " . Seu 622 páginas de capa dura tomo concentra-se em fronteiras movediças de Goa , tentativas por parte das empresas francesas e britânicas para comprar simplesmente fora de Goa , e oficiais franceses que trabalham sob a bandeira Goa.

Mais intrigante é a tentativa francoportugueses em edifício " Solidariedade católica " e lançar uma " nação católica " , no oeste Índia. Carreira estuda Goa e estabelecimentos franceses no Malabar costa ( sudoeste indiano ) , e comércio e assentamentos em Surat

Sua seção sobre comércio (Parte 3) nos leva à pataca ( hispano-americana dólar ), pré- Independência do Brasil, e da era da escravidão em Goa. Na Parte 4 , encontramos uma outra realidade do passado - como o imaginário percepção em forma de Colonial Goa. Estudos Carreira viajar revistas , Hospitalidade cristã no Império Português, e os estereótipos da mulher de Goa ( " exótico, erótico e monstruosa " !) Ela termina em um nota de entender como as mulheres de Goa foram retratados em mais tempos esclarecidos , inclusive por mulheres escritoras locais, que são , obviamente, sensível ao sujeito . "Hoje , Goa está sendo redescoberto pelo Ocidente ", escreve Carreira . mas ela observa que isso não é novidade . "Como um capital longínquo onde dois mundos e duas culturas sobrepostas , ele apelou enormemente para o Europeu imaginação popular no início da era moderna ( também). " O livro tem uma lista de figuras , referências e índices. Carreira fez sua pós-graduação e doutorado na Sorbonne ,e concentrou-se em Índia ocidental no século XVIII, com especial foco em comunidades de comércio e as redes entre o Atlântico eo Oceano Índico. Ela é professor de história Português no Universite d' Aix-Marseille , na França.

POETRY Maria José dos Santos Leite PORTO PORTUGAL A Viagem Tráz a minha alma, Nova fé, nova alegria, Muda o pensamento Dá fôlego, aumenta a Magia A Viagem Dá novo alento, Em novas paragens, Resultado de talento, Arrecadado em séculos. A Viagem Dá força e saber, A quem nela embarcar, Estando pronto para aprender, Visitando outro oceano, e Mar. A Viagem Pelas belas estrelas, Ao Universo convencê-las, Que em minha alma entrou, Luz infinita, que os Céus nela Semeou. A Viagem É aquele instante, Que sem te ver, meu irmão, Sinto tua lágrima forte, brilhante, Embarga-se a voz, aperta o Coração. A Viagem Numa nau, caravela, No navio ou avião, É em minha vida a luz de uma vela, Que vira Farol no teu coração. A Viagem Essa que eu embarquei, Que pontes mágicas idealizei, Ela é pura, cheia de fantasia, Tem forma bem definida, e alegria. A viagem Na música que juntos cantamos, Nas dores e traições que sublimamos, Abraçando as lágrimas, viajamos no tempo, A rezar baixinho, pedindo para aliviar o sofrimento De: Maria José dos Santos Leite

Francisco e Felícia, … no Minho! (Cont.) Foi a festa das Bodas de Ouro do avô de Pedro, depois de Inês falar com Felícia sobre a possibilidade de adiar por mais uma semana a partida para Goa, os dois jovens casais, concluíram que era uma oportunidade para visitar mais um pouco do norte de Portugal, pois Pedro e Inês queriam mostrar a região do Minho a Francisco e Felícia. Assim foi, Pedro pediu o carro ao avô por 5, dias e foram os 4 para o Minho. Partiram do Porto logo de manhã cedo para a bela cidade de Braga, visitando o Bom Jesus de BRAGA e Nossa Senhora do Sameiro. Felícia e Francisco, estavam fascinados com a beleza da cidade, e mais admirados ficaram quando souberam o quanto a cidade de Braga era antiga, importante, mesmo antes da independência de Portugal. Aquele escadório do Bom Jesus era maravilhoso, assim como o Santuário Felícia falou do fascínio daquele local. De Braga partiram para Terras do Bouro, que beleza de verde, que natureza selvagem, então quando chegaram à Serra do Gerês, foi como se chegassem ao Paraíso!

TRAVEL Aquela beleza dos animais selvagens, as cachoeiras, os cavalos selvagens, como era belo ver a liberdade que aqueles animais respiravam pelos poros! Ficaram uma noite no Gerês e Felícia deixou cair duas grossas lágrimas de comovida ao deixar aquela beleza para trás e disse para o marido: - Se nos for possível, um dia vir cá, quero passar aqui uma semana, para sentir este palpitar da Natureza que nos entra na alma. Dali partiram para Ponte de Lima e então a maravilhoso verde continuava de forma intensamente belo. Ficaram numa linda Vila, Paredes de Coura pertencente ao distrito de Viana do Castelo. Era uma casa de turismo de uma família amiga do Concelho da MaiaPorto. Respirava-se ar puro, a natureza era calma, bela e convidava a belos momentos de paz que mais parecia que Deus tinha reservado toda a paz do Mundo para aquele local. À noite Pedro e Inês fizeram o jantar, pois o espaço tinha várias cozinhas, e a cozinha principal era rústica, muito linda e acolhedora. Inês escolheu a mesa do jardim virada para o lado da piscina, via-se pequenos montes verdejantes. Jantaram nesse jardim à luz das velas, tendo por fundo uma música clássica suave que vinha de dentro de casa de uma bela e antiga aparelhagem. Foi um jantar inesquecível e aquele local, era mais um dos pequenos grandes paraísos na Terra! Logo de manhã Felícia acordou, vestiu um fato de banho que havia no quarto, e foi nadar na piscina. Inês ao acordar e ver pela janela Felícia na água, foi ter com ela e fez o mesmo. Enquanto as duas jovens mulheres se divertiam que nem duas adolescentes, atirando água uma à outra, Pedro e Francisco prepararam um bom e delicioso pequeno-almoço. Cerca das nove horas tomaram o pequeno-almoço, e prepararam-se para a viagem em direção a Viana do Castelo. Felícia apercebeu-se das imensas e belas quintas, casas senhoriais, e apercebeu-se da ancestral História de Portugal, desde os Castelos, aos Palácios de uma beleza e antiguidade grandiosa, até ao país de rica terra agrícola, e mar imenso de uma beleza diferente da do seu Índico. Almoçaram em Viana num belo e típico restaurante junto da Foz do rio Lima. De tarde passearam pela cidade, Felícia encantou-se pelos brincos de rainha, típicos de Viana do Castelo. Tanto se encantou que Francisco comprou-lhe uns belos brincos desses em filigrana de prata. Ao final da tarde partiram para Vila da Praia de ncora, uma linda terra com bela praia e muito típica de verdade. Grande zona de pesca, e também e agrícola. Dormiram em Vila Praia de ncora. De manhã ainda passaram na cidade da Póvoa de Varzim, Vila do Conde, tudo zonas marítimas de uma beleza, tradição imensa e suas gentes alegres, afáveis. Regressaram ao Porto para se prepararem para um jantar de despedida e no dia seguinte partiam para Lisboa para apanharem avião para Londres e daqui para Goa.

LOCAL HEROES Tagore was born on 7th October 1968, in GOA – INDIA. He grew up in lovely GOA and when he was 15 left for overseas. Tagore spent 9 years in the United Kingdom perusing his higher education in Computer Studies. During this time, Tagore also did various courses in filmmaking, over the weekends, at the Film Makers co-op, in Camden Town, London. Years ago, Tagore put together 50 of his poems in a form of a book and printed 100 copies of the book. He sent by courier the book to 100 people across the world. People who had inspired him or merely entertained him as he grew up. Right from Japanese composer Kitaro to Steven Spielberg to a few individuals from India. Some wrote back, some called to thank home, while some never bothered. Since then Tagore has been writing poetry, street verses, as he prefers to call them. His work ranges from rebelling out against the system, to his humanitarian cry, to love ballads and last but not least, reflecting his immense sense of spirituality and relationship with the creator. Besides poetry Tagore writes scripts for films, one of which has been made into a commercial Telugu film. In the midst of the peak of his carrier, Tagore decided to chuck it all in and write his first film. Living with his wonderful folks in GOA, Tagore would write daily from around 10pm to 7am and he did this for around 3 months. Script in hand and with absolutely no idea on how to sell it, or contact in Bollywood, Tagore set of to Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) and started knocking on doors. Strangely, the day he landed in Mumbai, Tagore did not have a single address of any film director or producer. Several false leads later, Tagore tied up with someone he only refers to as ‘the-offbeat-producer’ Mr. Pravesh Sippy. Months of re-writes (read as ‘lets take your original film concept and Bollywoodize it), the film was sold. One of the leading Film & Television houses in India, NIMBUS COMMUNICATIONS purchased the film, translated it into Telugu (A regional language spoken in Andhra Pradesh – India), produced the film and got it directed by none other than Suresh Krishna, one of South India’s most respected and well renowned film directors. Finally, Tagore has 10 books of poems on the Internet that are available for people to read. Should anyone want to use one of these poems, all they need to do is contact Tagore, and it will be arranged. He also runs a website for The Uncultured Company, wherein he hopes to promote his message of secularism in the world. He has also recently launched, on The Uncultured Company site, a quarterly online magazine to further spread the message of Humanity and becoming one with the universe.

LOCAL HEROES In a tete-a-tete with Remediana (Remy) Dias 1. Tell us something about you yourself I’m Tagore, born in lovely Goa, - Mapuca to be precise and was raised in peace and loving Calangute – atleast thaTagore was born on 7th October 1968, in GOA – INDIA. He grew up in lovely GOA and when he was 15 left for overseas. Tagore spent 9 years in the United Kingdom perusing his higher education in Computer Studies.

of secularism in the world. He has also recently launched, on The Uncultured Company site, a quarterly online magazine to further spread the message of Humanity and becoming one with the universe. t it how it was when I was a kid. Soon after school, I left for London to pursue college and what a shock to note that the rest of the world wasn’t like good ol’ Calangute. I mean in the rest of the world people were fighting in the names of religions, colours and races. What a shame I thought to myself, if only the world could come and see how peaceful the world can be by just visiting calangute. I couldn’t do anything at my life in those days except write verses that rhymed well, not that I ever had a reason to write prior to that – except perhaps to impress a chick or two. But when I got exposed to the world, I began to write, and boy did I write? I wrote verses just about humanity, spirituality, peace, love and tolerance and ofcourse some stuff to impress more women. Wrote loads of verses, watched the world ever more – living in London I watched and learnt about people, cultured and beliefs from all over the world. All of that thru the eyes of my Goan soul. It was during that time, that I also became aware of India and so proud to say that since then am a proud Indian. BTW, I am a no religion and ALL faith, and my faith is mine, my business, if some people take something good out of it then yaaay, otherwise it is not up for debate.

2. What sets you apart from others? Tell us about your professional life? Nothing I hope. I say that with all sincerity. Infact I think that everyone around me is more practical about the times we live in. They have learnt how to accept change and then gone out to make a difference in ways that work. I’m the dreamer, still looking for footprints of great dudes like Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon, Bob Marley and Mother Thereza in the world today. Professionally I am a nerd, a hardcore technologist who unknowingly sold my techie soul to the corporate world a few years ago when I embraced a VP role for a MNC here in Dubai. But then again, thank God for my Goan roots I try to holistically re-visit the Calangute days, and do what is right, morally not corporately.

LOCAL HEROES 3. What are your hobbies? What do you do in your spare time? Don’t know if it’s a hobby or a passion. But yes it’s all about my little world – my family, my friends and ofcourse the desire to make the world a better place. Am passionate about films, as I have seen it as being the most powerful medium to spread my message to the world. It’s tough, expensive and one rarely finds people who want to make movies for the love of mankind – it’s just another job to many. No issues with that, but would be nice to find another individual who wants to do it just to make the world a better place. Music is the next – again because I can write verses quicker than a few others, I would love to meet someone who just wants to compose the music for it put it out there to the world, again because it would be a message of humanity or spirituality. Obviously then wrapped around these two passions is technology, without which I would never have been able to achieve the little that I have 4. Are you a member of any association/s? What is your role in it? Eh actually no, come to think of it, and perhaps I must have felt that I’m not really qualified perhaps to be part of any group. Come on, I do believe that I’m just a beach bum. Really, and I have a dream of seeing the world live as one. However when I was still a student in London I started a group called ‘The Uncultured Company’ whose caption is ‘One World, One Faith, One Race, One Colour, just a different face’. How awesome is that? Really – I’ve been travelling to business networking events, student’s conventions infact anywhere anyone will have me and talking about a world centered around that caption. So yes, I am a member of the Uncultured Company, and no – I do not call myself the president of it, I am merely it’s guardian. 5. What is the secret of your success? Very hard work, never played dirty to get what I have achieved, a mom who fanatically prays for me, a dad who is my hero to look up to, a younger sis who is a lot more mature than I will ever be, her brilliant husband and their two kids who love me endless. My beautiful wife, who

Take from the Tiatrist spirit that we have, we really are so well equipped to make good strong content films, if only we invest in technical know-how, but am sure that’s coming soon. 7.about your family Coolest father on the planet, infact a konkani author too – Romeo Almeida. Then my fanatically worried about me always mom, My sis, her husband and their kids. My adorable wife is Alia, who is a Pakistani national but was born and raised in Dubai. My daughter is Tania, 21 months of life and decades of experience in making me dance to her tunes. 8.awards received I got the Best short film award in South Africa in 2009 for my film The Messenger. Besides that I have never won even a last prize in raffle. However I do have a letter from Mother Thereza addressed to me thanking me for a poem I sent her a long time back. I have a letter from THE Mr. AmithabBachan Anyways I’ve just done my 4th short film as a writer, director. It’s called A GOD OF SINNERS and it’s such a strong film that the youth from over the world have loved it. It’s about what is happening in the world today, it’s nasty, it’s rude and most of all it hold a mirror to your face to say ‘this is where we are!!’. I am hoping to showcase it at IFFI if I can. I just showed it at an AIESEC event in Jo’burg a few weeks back to some o the best students from all the universities in Johanesburg. That was amazing. Followed that with a talk on peace and tolerance. Am hoping to do the same at student unions across the UK soon. tagorealmeida@gmail.com rodrigremy@yahoo.com Remediana (Remy) Dias GOA INDIAs

POETRY Leiria PORTUGAL Antonio Cunha

Vivo no concelho de Leiria cuja fundação é quase tão antiga como Portugal, pois o seu castelo foi construído em 1135 por ordem de D. Afonso Henriques que na altura ainda era conde, mas com ambições de se tornar rei de Portugal nascente. A cidade de Leiria fica no meio de dois rios, o Lis e o Lena e há quem diga que o nome de Leiria teria vindo da fusão dos seus nomes. A zona de Leiria é das mais industrializadas de Portugal. A indústria dos moldes, cerâmica, plásticos, madeiras, vidros, etc. destacam e geram um valor significativo para a economia do País. Além disso, Leiria é uma zona de grande produção agrícola em especial frutas, vinhos e hortícolas. Esta cidade fica no centro de Portugal distando 130Km de Lisboa e 180 do Porto e 30 km do Santuário de Fátima. Alargando mais os horizontes para o distrito de Leiria podemos admirar o mosteiro da Batalha, o de Alcobaça e a vila de Óbidos. No distrito de Leiria há belíssimas praias como: Nazaré, S. Pedro de Muel, Pedrogão e Vieira de Leiria.

THE BUZZ OF THE TOWN

Amchem Goa has had a long history of singers/artist from pop to traditional music background. The latest buzz in GOA is the recipient of Yuva Srujan Puraskar Olavo Rodrigues (O'luv), an honor to artistes from various fields through the Directorate of Art and Culture. O’luv Goa’s booming POP icon needs no introduction. This versatile singer from his early age has corned his way to the hearts of the young and the old during his various performances be it in Europe, Gulf, Goa and other states of India, he has also performed via Skype for the Goans of Karachi on International Friendship day. Olavo sings in languages ranging from Portuguese, Hindi, Marathi, French, Spanish, German, Dutch English and Konkani and is recognized world over for being the Ambassador who has made Konkani known globally. O’luv has dedicated his prestigious award to the youth of GOA and celebrated this joy with the kids at a 'Valentine's Day Special' celebration at "Little heaven". The kids were thrilled at this gesture and had a ball of a time singing and dancing to O’luv’s songs. They also played the comb along with him, which is Olavo’s signature move a self made contraption, a combination of a simple comb and a piece of paper. This very performance has always mesmerized his audience, and has left them spellbound, as it resembles that of a saxophone/trumpet. O’luv also has to his credit of doing the National Anthem of India, Canada and, Thailand on the comb videos of which can be viewed on you-tube. A bit about his latest album Love You Goa which has not only done well in GOA but has gained popularity in Canada, America, Doha, Dubai, Paris, Germany, Italy and Karachi. O’luv performance at the closing of Goa’s Carnival 2014 at Vasco was spectacular, as Goa’s POP icon grooved with International Rapper Nkenge, Dancers Anna and Guzel and our very own Nancy from GOA who kept the audience in complete awe throughout the performance. Among the present crop of artists in GOA’s entertainment world Olavo has the most staying potential. It is his Konkani pop that has caught the pulse of the young and the old. The success of Olavo’s performance is due to his connect with the audience, getting them in the mood to sing and dance along with him in high spirits.
