[Goanet]JoeGoaUK's collection of Konkani VCDs

Wed, 20 Apr 2005 12:19:34 -0700

I was pretty amazed by JoeGoaUK's collection of Konkani VCDs, and even more surprised to know that so many initiatives had been take in the field of Goan culture back home. This is typically Goan: because of the small market, very few potential buyers even know of all the products available at any point of time. The same is also true with so many books related to Goa that keep coming out all the time (see http://goabooks.swiki.net )

        As a small step to build awareness over the Konkani VCDs,
        I converted one of JoeGoaUK's recent emails into a simple
        web-page. Check it out at http://konkani-vcd.swiki.net

It would be great if we could convince JoeGoaUK (or anyone else) to write reviews of the VCDs, so that those which are good could get the market support that is badly needed for any cultural product. Maybe those producing the VCDs could be convinced to go in for subtitling, to offer them a wider market and also enable expats to learn more of Konkani in an unpedantic and pleasurable manner!

Do send in your feedback to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- and I think anyone doing a good job needs the badly-deserved support. FN
