It’s been wonderful to go through your magnificent and unique lifestyle magazine. As a media person I can definitely say that the kind and quality of efforts that are put in has definitely yielded the desired effects. When I saw your magazine for the first time a few months ago, it reminded me of the American ‘SPAN’ that I used to read during my childhood, which had left some infinite memories about it. Now after going through VIVA GOA, all my old memories are awakened. The Feb issue has Jade Jaggers’ wonderful story. Kudos to the entire team. I hope to read more wonderful articles and stories on the stars of Goa. Thanks for everything Chandramohan Nandanpawar, director, Doordashan Kendra, Panaji

VIVA GOA is one of the first magazines about Goa written primarily for Goans, with good quality articles and great photographs. The variety of articles could be better by featuring more small-scale establishments and people – more on the lines of the Mapxencars and Viva Goa Spotlight. These are the people who make Goa vibrant, not the politicians and big business houses. Goa is developing as an art and craft destination for people from all over the world, and this can only be good for its future. Jonathan D’Souza, Miramar Deepa Awchat’s recipes are good. I tried the baath recipe in the January issue and it turned out very well. All my friends liked it.

VIVA GOA invites comments from its readers. Letters should be short and relevant and can be sent to editor@vivagoaonline.com

The measurements were very precise so there was absolutely no hassle. Vasanti Vinod, Caranzalem We just loved the interview in VIVA GOA, it is the best for us until date. We liked the layout and the entire look of it ³ even our parents loved it. Thanks a ton to the team. God bless! Riddhi and Siddhi Mapxencar via email

The best letter of the month will get a free pair of ladies’ shoes from SENIOR

Editor & Publishers Note We make every effort to publish a magazine that is informative, entertaining and free of errors. Any omission or inaccuracies are entirely unintentional. Please do bring to our notice any item that may be incorrect or photography erroneously published. Also, we would be pleased to include any item or photograph that warrants our attention.We believe in the spirit of Goa and its warm and lively people, and do hope the content in the magazine brings smiles to our reader’s faces. As always, suggestions and comments are welcome on feedback@vivagoaonline.com

COVER STORY ‘In a sense, all our nominees are winners’ Award ceremonies aren’t meant only for the winners. They are meant for the public too. Without award events, there would be no inspiration for others, no height to aspire to and no one to model yourself after. The Navhind Times – VIVA GOA Goan Achievers’ Awards honoured eminent Goans for their contributions to society

When I was told I was nominated, I already felt like a winner. Most of my classmates in Germany still think of India and Goa Manohar Parrikar with as living in some ancient time. There are few people who try to conserve Schubert Cotta, father of Sanya (inset) things in Goa and I am happy that the older generation is honouring young people. This actually spans three generations as the older ones honour the young ones, who in turn become role models for the very young.

Education 2010 A

Goa is proud of its high literacy rate. But environmental, political and social awareness are more important than mechanical percentages and high marks. It is the overall and rounded growth of the young generation that will eventually determine the prosperity and direction of our young and small state. The nominees included Vyankatesh Prabhudesai and Lucy D’Costa. The award goes to educationist Suresh Amonkar, who has set high standards for others to follow

SURESH AMONKAR, Educationist and translator This famous educationist and retired headmaster of the New Goa High School in Mapusa had a major role to play in education and social development in post-liberation Goa. A versatile translator, he won a Sahitya Academy award for his translation of Dhammapada from the original Pali into Konkani. He has done several other translations including of the Bhagvad-Geeta, Jheneshwari, the Jataka Tales, the Gospel according to St. John, books like Goa Opinion Poll, Handbook for Headmasters And Teachers and a report on the vocationalisation of education in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. As a social commentator, Amonkar has published several articles in local newspapers and periodicals. He is a winner of the Goa State Teachers’ Award and is currently working on a translation of the Kristha Parena, the 17th-century epic on the life of Christ. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri Award in 2009.

I thank the Navhind Times and VIVA GOA for the honour bestowed on me and I humbly accept it. I dedicate this award to all my past and present teacher Suresh Amonkar with Shrinivas Dempo colleagues from primary to tertiary stages, who have served and continue to serve Goa, and through their sustained efforts are creating a new India, without forgetting that as teachers they have to be lifelong students. I congratulate the organisers for highlighting the role of the awardees as Goan youth can emulate them and excel to create a stronger India VYANKATESH PRABHUDESAI, chief mentor of Aryaan Study Circle This alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai, Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, in Aerospace Engineering and an MS in Flight Testing from Darmstadt Institute in Germany is currently head of the Aryaan Study Circle which coaches Goan students for IIT and other entrance exams. He has worked on major projects at the National Aerospace Laboratories in Bangalore and at the National Institute of Oceanography in Goa.

14 LUCY D’COSTA, former headmistress of Sharada Mandir High School The first headmistress of Goa’s first ICSE school Sharada Mandir in Miramar, completed her training at the country’s premier teacher’s training institute St. Margaret’s Training College in Mumbai. She dedicated 24 years to teaching at Sharada Mandir, a school her husband Dr Minguel D’Costa founded in 1966. Ms D’Costa now assists her daughter Nisha D’Cunha in the running of Nisha’s School.

I am deeply honoured by this award and feel that Edgar Ribeiro and Leander Paes are leagues ahead of me in what they have achieved. But what does this award mean to me? Well, if we continue to let our forests get denuded, pollute water, allow rampant mining and let the drug mafia hold us in a vice-like grip, this award is nothing but a piece of metal. But if the traditions are kept, cultural ethos retained, business prospects improved and our head held high in Goa to be a lesson to our children, then this award is 24 carat gold

Lifetime Achievement Award

Padma Vibhushan and Gyana Saraswati

Kishori Amonkar

T

66

his deity of Indian Classical Music is widely considered as the finest female vocalist of her generation. Born in Goa to renowned singer Mogubai Kurdikar in 1931, Amonkar was surrounded by song and melody all through her life. She received her lessons from her versatile mother in the best traditions of the parampara in which maestro Alladiya Khan was the pioneer. Illustrious gurus including Anjanibai Malpekar, Mohanrao Palekar and Anwar Hussain Khan also helped groom her voice to one that has combined power with suppleness, euphony with luminosity and vigour with grace through the decades. Years of practice and devotion have

produced one of the most expressive voices in the Indian classical repertoire, capable of communicating a wide array of emotions. Despite being the most famous for her khayals, thumris and bhajans, Amonkar has also achieved excellence in the non-classical genre, as testified by the plethora of compact discs and audio cassettes to her credit. A few instances include the Raghavendra Baaro in Kannada, Mharo Pranam in Hindi and Gheyi Gheyi Maajhe Vaache in Marathi. As the one of the most sought-after and revered gurus in the Indian classical scene, she has trained vocalists including Manik Bhide, Padma Talwalkar, Aarti Anklikar, Mira Panshikar, Meena Joshi and Vijaya

Joglekar-Dhumale, while her male students like Arun Dravid and Raghunandan Panshikar have also made a name for herself. Amonkar has received many honours and titles including doctorates from the Tilak Maharashtra Vidyalaya in Pune (1995) and Ravenshaw University in Orissa (2009). A rare double distinction that sets the family apart took place when Kishori was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1987, an honour bestowed on her mother in 1974. Kishori has also been presented the Chakradhar Sanman by the state of Chhattisgarh, Gyana Saraswati by Jadaguru Mahaswamiji of Sringeri Math, the Bharat Gana Ratna by Peethadhish Shri Sushamindra Teerth Swami of the Shri Raghavendra Swami Math Mantralayam and the title of Asthan Vidushi. The Government of India awarded her the ‘Padma Vibhushan’ in 2002, and she was honoured with a Fellowship of the Sangeet Natak Academi in 2010. Her music with its rare expressive quality, coupled with her novel techniques and her nostalgic voice, has a mesmeric and lasting impact on her listeners. The author of the book Swararthramani, a thesis on and Rasa Siddhanta, remains a voice that lingers on and echoes long after the concert hall applause has faded. n
