On 28th of this month at TAG Auditorium in Panjim, starting at 4.30 PM, a condolence meeting was held to remember those yesteryears Tiatrists who died in this moth. They were altogether 14, the prominent ones were Minguel Rod, C. Alvares, Alred Rose, Rosary Ferns, Shalini Maddolcar etc.
All the 14 Tiatrists of this month
As usual the attendance was thin, it was such a horrible scene to see that with the exception of one or two, none of the current Tiatrists attended this Meet, not only this Meet but infact none of such Meetings they attend.
When call was given to the members of the audience to speak on anyone from these 14, Mr. A.Veronica Fernandes volunteered to speak something more on the late Rosary Ferns. In his short speech, Mr. Veronica raised the issue of Kuwait Tiatistanchi Sonvstha which was formed by the enemies of Tiatro in the name of the promotion of Tiatros but actually it was formed to keep Rosary Ferns out of Tiatro. This was done because the man who was jealous of Rosary Ferns initiated this Sovstha and all the "bloody Bastards" who know their mothers only but not their fathers, accepted this injustice to Rosary Ferns. A few of these Bastards are seen acting in Tatros in Goa and singing songs against injustice but in reality they support injustoice as they did for Rosary Ferns who otherwise gave them so much of help and opportuities to act on the stage in Kuwait. Those who wants to know the real quality of Tiatrists from Kuwait then they should know that these Kuwait Tiatrists are "BEIMAAN" of first grade. It was not surprising to know that they were "Beiman" on Rosary Ferns only but worst part was that they were Beiman even on Kuwait when they refused to openly support Kuwait when Kuwait was invaded by Iraq. Some of them were flirting with their concubines when Kuwait eacuees were organisig their rallies and meetings in Panjim against Saddam Hussein. If it was not for Kuwait these Tinpot Tiatrists would rot on the road in Goa. Good that Kuwait was liberated in 7 months only otherwise these Tatrists and many like them the Kuwait evacuues would just rot in Goa. Many of these Goans got girls to marry only becaue they were in Kuwmait. Hence, they must thank Kuwait for giving them some standing in life.

Incidentally, the man behind this crook idea was sentenced by God to refrain from acting in Tiatros when he has got such a vast potntial to act in Tatros, to write and direct Tiatros. I remember one of the Tiators "Devachea Marank Avaz Na " staged in Kuwait by Rosary and how significant the title of this Tiatro now for the architect of this Kuwait Sonvstha. He wanted to banish Rosary Ferns from the Stage but due to serious sickness he was banished from entering the Stage. Rsary Ferns DIED and gone peacefully but those who wanted to destroy Rosary Ferns were themselves got destroyed - DEVACHEA MARANK AVAZ NA.
