Actually, for many of us members of the Goan innerspora (for all you guys who have not been keeping abreast of latest developments thats the opposite of Goan diaspora), the excitement of a tiatr begins when we troop into the auditorium armed to the teeth with plenty of fodder, firmly united in the unshakeable belief that no occasion is complete unless it is heavily embellished with plenty of food and drink.
And when the curtains go up, there are further delights in store for us. High melodrama and heart rending emotionalism. We have the tragedy queen ready to sacrifice her all for love, the villain who ultimately gets his comeuppance and the comedian, with that peculiarly Goan brand of impudent sauciness. The ditties that are composed with such speed and promptness to cover current situations have the audience absolutely identifying with them whether they are lamentations on the changing face of Goa and Goans or tirades on the shenanigans of politicians. And of course, no tiatr would be complete without lashings of the romance that is like oxygen to our Goan lads and lasses (Incidentally, anyone needing advice may consult our expert on the subject, Cecil Pinto, with his proven expertise in foolproof styles and techniques of wooing and winning). ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
