MAHA ANAND, DUKHI PARIVAR

GOAN OBSERVER

Lead Story

MAHA ANAND, DUKHI PARIVAR
BY RAJAN NARAYAN

WHEN FORMER Haryana director general of police, S P S Rathore, got away with a six month sentence for molesting teenager Ruchika Girhotra and walked out of the Court with a triumphant smile on his face, there was an outrage in both the national electronic media and the print media. Forcing the Union Home Minister P C Chidambaram himself to take a personal interest in the matter and compelling the Union Law Ministry and the Union Home Ministry to issue orders that every complaint filed by any citizen should be registered by the police station. The order was provoked by the fact that in the Ruchika case as in several cases in which the serial killer of Goa Mahanand Naik was involved, the police did not register an FIR. Under the present procedures, the police have discretionary power on whether to register an FIR or not. A discretionary power which has been misused and abused, the latest case being the allegation by the Russian victim of rape that the police were reluctant to register an FIR and threatened her with cancellation of visa if she insisted that the police should register a complaint of rape against John Fernandes.

UNLIKE the public outrage in the national electronic and print media over the six-month sentence awarded to former DGP Rathore for molesting a teenager, there has been no sense of outrage even in the local media let alone the national media over the fact that the serial killer Mahanand Naik, who has confessed to killing as many as 16 women over a period of 15 years from 1994 till 2009 when he was arrested in a rape case, was acquitted in the first of the cases that came up for trial before the additional sessions judge of South Goa, Desmond D’Costa. The first of the 16 cases of murder that Mahanand Naik is alleged to have confessed related to the murder of Surat, daughter of Harishchandra Gaonkar, resident of Matt, Vizor Pachawadi, who went missing in March 2006. An FIR was filed against Mahanand Naik only on June 8, 2009 after he had allegedly confessed to her murder.

Maestro Shahu - A shining star across the shores

Maestro Shahu - A shining star across the shores

Amongst the contemporary big names of musicians, the name of Francis Almeida, popularly known as Shahu shines amongst the stellar bracket of Goa's top-notch musicians with his indispensable contribution towards the art.Shahu may be recognized more in the genre of dramas. But behind his simplicity, is the unmistakable halo of his talent as a star musician of Goan bands. With his past penchant and passion for innovative, brilliant music, Shahu continues on what he loves to do best - hypnotize his listeners to a magical sway.In his latest performance, Shahu captivated the audience at the Kuwait Goa Tiatristhanchi Sonvstha (KGTS) Konkani musical entitled 'Tiatristponn Devachem Dennem' held recently at Hawally AC Auditorium. He led a group of musicians orchestrating on his favorite keyboards as well as the saxophone. With his ability to play different instruments, Shahu also leads a band in Kuwait called 2..S#arp. With 2...S#arp, Shahu's music spans a broad range of harmonies, from Goan and foreign-inspired music to more modern trends with mixtures of genres and ethnic elements. The group is quite popular among Goans, they have even played alongside Goa's topmost band Forefront and many other local bands.Few however know that Shahu, a dynamic talent with his keyboard, began his tryst with music drumming his way into the hearts of his school-mates at his school's Annual Gatherings, propelling him into the musical horizon forever. He is the alumnus of St. Francis Xavier H. School Macazana and Guardian Angel College, Sanvordem.Evolving into an ace drummer, he had the rare and splendid opportunity of honing his musical skills under the baton of Chris Perry, the eternal icon and consummate genius of Goan music and playing alongside his son Errol Perry. With music flowing in his veins, his drum beats reverberated in many well-known Goan bands of the nineties such as 'Ultimate', 'Magic Touch', 'The News', 'Human Status', 'Black Lace', etc, to name a few. Shahu disclosed that he played in over 1000 weddings as a drummer with these groups.But it was his evolution into a keyboardist that shot him into instant fame. Interestingly, Shahu switched over to the keyboards not on his own volition but at the suggestion of Fr. Livio D'Mello under whose cudgel he played for the choir at St. Francis Xavier's church, Macasana. From then on there was no looking back.Shahu has indeed come a long way with his association with music spanning over a decade. His musical creativity was elevated further after his arrival in Kuwait in October 1999. He began with a bang in Kuwait-based director Jose Rod's unmatched Broadway hit 'Tujem Nanv Vhodd zaum' which was staged all over the Middle East and back home in Goa.Shahu has also played in Muscat, Doha, Bahrain, Bangalore, Darjeeling, etc, and performed for top directors such as Prem Kumar, Roseferns, Jacob, Menino de Bandar, Pascoal Rodrigues, C.D. Silva, John D' Silva, Ben Evangelist, Rosario Rodrigues, etc, apart from all the directors in Kuwait. He also did a short musical stint playing live music at Dubai's famous Viva Goa hotel.Shahu's most challenging one-man performance was in Mini Mario's 'Kiteak Ho Bazar Cholta?' staged in Kuwait in 2007. "I had to pick-up the notes on the troupe's arrival on the morning of the show and I can proudly say that I played to perfection without proper rehearsals," says Shahu, adding further, "with musical notes handy, I can play non stop music for over 8 hours.The young maestro can be aptly described as a consummate artist with an alluring passion and drive for music. Undoubtedly his heart thumps 'musical' beats, for when it comes to music he is simply indefatigable, endowed with an amazing genius -- coupled with a prodigious memory for music.Shahu reached the highpoint of his career when he was roped in as the music composer by the doyen of Konkani stage, the legendary Rosario Rodrigues wherein his captivating rhythm set aflame many of the unforgettable hits like 'Hanv Kallukant Sandlim' where Shahu pioneered the unique 'one man band' concept providing the entire spectrum of music on a single keyboard! Under the ace director's able tutelage Shahu had a free rein toying with refreshing, innovative ideas which enabled him to break new grounds by pushing hard the frontiers of Goan music.With sky being the limit, Shahu went on to produce innumerable chart busting scores for numerous hit dramas and musicals which gained him popularity of a household name.Music apart, Shahu is an intensely endearing and an adorable human being who attaches great value to friendships and family ties. Blessed with a wonderful wife (Clemmie) and a cherubic son named Aerosmith, and daughter Acasia, Shahu is a devoted husband, a doting father and a dutiful son.Sensitive and devout to the core, Shahu plays for the Holy Family Cathedral Church choir (Kuwait) for the 8.00 a.m mass every Friday since 1999. Time and experience have greatly enriched his remarkable musical abilities and today Shahu continues to add increasing complexity and refinement to his astounding gift of music which is sure to hold the audience in a thrall for years to come!

Life without laughter is not good - Comedian Philip

Life without laughter is not good - Comedian Philip

COMEDIAN PHILIP - NRI Goan Comedian of a Thousand Faces, has mastered the art of comedy. His charm and impeccable 'stage presence' captivates audiences. Life without laughter is not good. You should be able to find at least one thing in your life to laugh about, he says.

Comedians have been known for relieving stress, and cleansing the mind of ugly thoughts. That alone, proves that comedy is truly the best source of entertainment yet. I feel good when someone from the audience walks up to me and say "Philip, you so crazy", or "I loved the show", because that lets me know that I have done my job. He is thankful to all his fans. Comedian Philip says "People always walk up and ask me to sing comedy songs". I am into 'humour creation' and not the routine jokes. All my material comes from things that happens in my day-to-day life, or someone I know.

This comedian is truly one to watch. Comedian Philip strives for perfection. He has done character roles with a 'comic' touch and is rightly called "NRI Goan Comedian of a Thousand Faces". Philip's impersonification of the great "Lorna" as in Lorna's song "Aikat Mhojo Tallo", and "Micheal Jackson" as in "Beat It" song as well as late Dr.Rosario Rodrigues (with the get-up and his voice matching the characters to perfection) were greatly appreciated. Philip hails from the scenic and beautiful village, Majorda (Salcette) and remembers commencing his acting career at 11-years of age...........

Comedian Philip is one of the Kuwait-based singers to perform in Tony Dias’ tiatr
“Mahanand - Monis vo Soitan”. The tiatr will be staged at the Daiya Fencing Club Hall on Friday, 15th January 2009 which will commence at 4:15 p.m. with a glittering ceremony in the presence of H.E. Shri Ajai Malhotra, Ambassador of India, as the chief guest, Tony Gonsalves, promoter of Konkani & Goan culture (Wembley Goans U.K.) as guest of honour, and a galaxy of special invitees.

It's a Kala Mogui Kuwait's presentation and the organizers have re-designed the auditorium with specially elevated risen seating arrangement and stage setting with the state of the art sound system and light effects.

The tiatr is based on a true story of a serial killer that rocked Goa, written and directed by Tony Dias and has a formidable cast comprising of Jessica, Jane, Bushka, Shruti, Filu Dias, Jazu, Franky, Trindade, Bingi, Socorro de St. Cruz, Connie M, Filipe Almeida, David D'Costa, Comedian Janet, Comedian Aurelio & Comedian Ambe and supported by Kuwait-based renowned singers Rosary Ferns, Bab Agnel, M.Luis, mimicry artiste Edward Estibeiro, Comedian Philip and musician Shahu.
