The Goan Cultural Festival - transforms the Ajman Beach Resort into a 'Mini Goa'
Daijiworld News Network - Dubai Ajman, April 2: The much awaited, and anticipated event not only Goans but also other communities were looking forward to – was the Goan Cultural Fest which was organised by Roopali and Chris on the cool shores of the Ajman beach Resort. It was unbelievable to watch people come out of their houses on a lazy Friday evening when most of them want to relax in the confines of their homes. It definitely shows the love for the Goan culture and superb organisation of all the past events which people want to witness again and again. The evening which started at around 6.30 p.m. was scarce in the beginning but it was amazing to see the momemtum warming up as more and more people walked in to a practically housefull crowd in the end. The arrangements were simply beyond words – Perfect, flawless and just Excellent in every way. The delicious food served buffet style was a spread of a variety of dishes where everyone could have their fill. The Goan community is said to be a generous and fun loving community and surely everyone could feel the warmth of their hospitality and generosity during this Fest. The Chief Organisers of the show, Chris de Souza and Rupali have really put in their best efforts to ensure the success of this show. The band in attendance "True Colours" made sure that every one got their feet on their floor with their booming numbers. The dance competition for elders indeed put the judges into a dilemna to choose the best with the tough competition between the participants. The children too were not left behind and were given a chance to participate in a Fancy dress compeition. What imagination? What innovation What inspiration? It was wonderful to see the new age come up with new ideas and once again it was a difficult task to choose the winner. The function would not be the "super duper" one it was if not for the DJ Nevz And RJ Ryan who did a splendid job. The audience was simply awed with the dazzling performance of Ryan – who with his charm wit and sense of humour enthralled the crowd. To taste the culture of Goa one did not have to fly across the seven seas – thanks to Chris de Desouza, Roopali and his team for transforming the Ajman Beach into a mini Goa where everyone felt that was “As good as being in Goa”.
