So much about Chrystal Gomes. Last year, sometime in
October, I did a big feature on her in a local South
Asian paper. She had invited me to her performance at
a comedy club. I also did a small feature on her in
India Today (international edition).
She was happy. After that I got her to perform at the
Miss Canada-India Beauty Princess pageant.
I thought of sending the piece to GOANOW, but, as it
often happens with journalists, I forgot.
I have known her since she served for a brief time on
the Goan Overseas Association executive committee in
the 80s. She was young then, and still young.
I have known her father, Danny Gomes, who has been
president of GOA and a trustee. In fact, it was he who
suggested to her to invite me for her show when we
bumped into each other at the Viva Goa festival last
year. She and I are in constant email communication.
Coincidentally, she's from Colva, my village. She's a
wonderful person. Two months ago I was passing by her
house and called her if we could have dinner as I had
an invitation at a newly-opened Indian-Chinese
restaurant. She's couldn't as she had a show, but
insisted I visit her house. It was my first visit to
her place.
Surprisingly, she had left a scotch bottle with her
dad to give it to me. It's unfortunate that such a
lovely person is stricken with MS, the dreadful
disease. But she wants to use her own success to let
the world know that the disease can be fought and a
person can lead a normal life. She's an inspiration to
lot of MS victims, particularly the young and the
youth.
