The Closing day Ceremony 29.1.2014 Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, Margao- Goa Some highlights: - At the venue, chaos as usual. Policemen shouting only those holding pass ber at thea gate, rest stay away. We did not have pass but somehow managed to gain entry just after 7.35pm through a senior policeman who let some people in. - Inside, the main centre stage and the lawn seem poorly lit, people hardly visible particularly those performing on lawns. Many preferred watching the only giant LCD screen of DD at it was brighter there. (Many of you who will watch it through other media channel or webcast etc taken from DD, will never realise how poorly lit was the stadium unless you watch video clip. None of the four stadium high Mast poles were lit. - Seeing speeches after speeches, crowd started shouting (to finish speech..) during Shripad Naik Speech delivery, time was 8pm - After the speech part was over, it was announced that CM Parrikar to stay back, repeated and third time repeated saying ‘only Chief Minister Parrikar to stay back to felicitate some Goan sports personalities but Sports Minister Tawadkar and Goa Olympic Ass. President MP Shripad Naik also stayed back - When a couple dancing to the tune of Spanish song on the main stage, there was another group off-stage (infront, on the lawns) African acrobats, people applauding loudly to their acrobatic performance – Whole thing, two in one did not look nice.. - Many people started leaving after 9pm and half of those waited must have waited only for firework display. - There was no sign of Carnival type floats, don’t know if it was held at 7pm. - Hema Sardesai not seen – Don’t know if she performed before 7.30pm or after 9. 20pm Some pics The Stadium / Spectators / Audience - A section http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210623206/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210690826/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210089305/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210495254/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210132015/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210546444/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210565974/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210418144/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210440104/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210656726/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210686306/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210111135/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210141975/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210552924/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210574864/in/photostream/ Vacant section backstage http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210029935/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210468954/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210435374/in/photostream/ Poorly lit http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210263133/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210267383/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210302803/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210799906/in/photostream/ Chief Minister Monohar Parrikar http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210009765/in/photostream/ Navy Brass band http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210296263/in/photostream/ Drummers ; Dhol http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210519514/in/photostream/ Church, Temple, Lighthouse etc http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210402374/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210023345/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210661726/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210666566/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210772606/in/photostream/ Press / Media people on the ground lawns http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210286303/in/photostream/ Firework display http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk70/12210392854/in/photostream Video: http://youtu.be/TJrpV_w_fmo Blog for all previous pics and videos http://joegoauk.blogspot.in/2013/12/3rd-lusofonia-games-2014-goa.html [email protected] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
