GOA: Jack Siqueir - Father of Opinion Poll (with short comedy video)
Late Dr. Jack de Sequeira (for most of us his name is Jak Siker) I may not
know much of
him but I do know that Goa which is GOA now would have been Maharastra if Dr.
Jack Sequeira
along with the people of Goa did not fight for maintaining our Goas identity
by going for the
historic opinion poll about 40 years ago.
I salute Dr. Jack De Sequeira.
========
Yesterday, on the eve of 40th Opinion Poll Day, there was a beautiful programe,
a musical
show, organized by KSSKK (Konkani Sangit Somajik Kala Kendra) Taleigao at KA,
Panjim-Goa, in
memory of late Dr. Jack de Sequeira (Father of Opinion Poll).
It was in the KAs open air hall where crowed was full to its capacity. If the
seating
capacity of the hall is 2000 then there were at least 2400. All seats were
occupied and people
seen sitting on the flloor, steps, virtually there was no room to move around
not even the two
long alleyways. (we too seated on a bare floor/steps).
Lawry, Wilmix-Sharon, Peter-Roshan, Joe Rose were some of the popular actors
sang two songs
each. There was one trio by MIL-MEL-NEL titled and dress like Ami Sogle
Ghantti They were
called twice. There were some kids singers too. One Kevin D Mello dressed like
Konknno with
Pudvem and sang a song comparing Tiatr and Natok. He too got a big round of
public applause.
There was comedy show too..
There was also a bashonn from Churchill and Wilmix (Wilson)
People in the front row were Dr. Jack Sequeiras Daughter (Dr. Lilly & her
husband), Pe.
Conceissao, Churchill, Joseph Sequeira (Calangute Sarpanch) etc etc
Today, the 16th January 2007, there is an installation ceremony of life size
statue of Dr.
Jack de Sequeira at Panchayat Junction, Nr. Village Panchayat Calangute at 11
am.
Please note: This Statue does not come from the Goa Government but it seems
coming from Mr.
Joseph Sequeira, Sarpanch (with members) and other well wishers.
Well done KSSKK & Santan H Vieagas Taleigao.
Well done Joseph Sequeira of Calangute and many others.
Finally, on this occasion, I present to you, a short video comedy by Goas
popular stage
comedians Agostinho & Ambe. (2 minutes).
