On behalf of Anjunkars, I extend our heartiest congratulations to M. Boyer,
the zanvuim (son-in-law) of Anjuna, on his felicitation by the Raia
Welfare Association. We are proud of our zanvuim! Three cheers to his
wife, Martha, who is diligently nursing him.
As a fast composer, M. Boyer always kept pace with the events taking place
in Goa, composed songs almost instantly as soon as an event took place and
sang them in the first available show. Here are the lyrics of one of his
songs titled PONCHVIS VORSANIM which he sang as soon as Goa was declared a
State and Konkani an official language:
