LINO BAPTISTO DOURADO - A creative writer and a poet
Our lives are a treasure trove of events that we, or people that we know, have experienced and that while maybe they were not funny at the time, with the benefit of hindsight can be seen to be humorous. These are a wonderful source of humorous material and should be used at every opportunity.
Lino Baptisto Dourado is one such person who uses his imaginative writings and poetry, and can transport you to glorious heights and make you laugh as you read through his Konkani humour-filled weekly feature, 'Aitaracheo Kaskuleo' (Sunday's Musings) with graphics on Gulf-Goans e-Newsletter at www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans (a newsletter edited/moderated by Gaspar Almeida and presented by Ulysses Menezes of www.goa-world.com ) or his often serious and sometimes humourous 'Kovita' (poems) on Goa Net www.goanet.org or his thoughtful and serious comments when he attends a Konkani tiatr or a musical show.
Hailing from Utorda, Goa, Lino Baptisto Dourado's articles now get the attention of the web browsers from various segments of Konkani speaking Indians - be they Goans, Karwarkars, Mumbaikars or Mangaloreans. It's a rather tribute to view articles by a Goan Konkani writer on the www.mangalorean.com website or www.daijidubai.com or the Goa's oldest established Konkani weekly "Vauradeancho Ixtt" www.goacom.com/ixtt/ (now also independently online at www.v-ixtt.com) and other published media including Goa Day souvenirs published by Goan Welfare Society in association with Goan clubs/organizations (www.goa-world.com/gws/ )and Goa's only Konkani family magazine 'GULAB' - Late Fr. Freddy J. Da Costa's cherished publication (also online at www.gulabonline.com) now in its 22nd year.

Like jokes, personal anecdotes are also portable and can be used to fit many situations. What happened to you at the beach can usually be transposed to fit a situation somewhere else. What happened to someone else at a wedding can be transferred to fit a situation that happened to you at a party or in the Konkani Railway or on Paulo Travels Goa to Mumbai road journey . A good compere in Konkani, his jokes and witty comments gets you in high spirts at the annual United Club of Utorda's one act Konkani play competitions in Kuwait ( www.goa-world.com/oneactplay/ ).
And Lino Baptisto Dourado just does it right in Amchi Bhas, Konkani every time you have a posting in your mailbox. His contribution to Konkani is quite significant.
Some of his impressive expressions in his poems in Konkani are:
Loztai kiteak?.......
Zonelaleant bhair ailam
Mukhlem dar bond koxem?
Pavs zhoddtta tum zhaddam ximptta,
Vollea zhaddak pettlam agttem?
Sukknem................
Ago supurlea suknnea
Ghontterant mhojea ie
Bhitor tum ietna
Pakam fuloit ie.
Tallni...........
Nodrek nodor mevlli tedna
Tinnem lojun dhample dolle
Eka mekhacho svas ghetna
Nazuk kuddiche sandde ustovle.
Hello. Konn? Pandurang. Kose asat? Kitem khobor? Kam bhoglear pavlam?.... .Kitlea horar ieum?....Hoi, hoi free asam ..mellche .
