Dears,
On Saturday evening, 20 December, 2008, the CM was the Chief Guest at the
inaugural function of the 1st Konkani Culture and literary festival at Margao.
I was happy to be proved wrong in my assumption, based on otherwise reliable
inputs, that is was going to avoid the function. Mr. Mauvin Godinho failed to
turn up. So it was a double surprise.
The organisers remembered the sacrifice of Florian Vaz, the twenty years old
boy who was killed by Police at Gogol-Margao this day 22 years ago, 20 Dec.
1986 during the KPA-led Konkani agitation. Daniel F.D'Souza and Tina D'Costa
compered the event. Incidentally, Daniel is the winner of the second Konknni
Martir Florian Vaz Puroskar earlier this year. Fr. Pratap Naik SJ, the Director
of TSKK thathas instituted the award, was the keynote speaker.
The programme continues the whole of Sunday as detailed below.
