Xinpyêntlim Môtyam “Xinpyêntlim Môtyam” (literally it means pearls from the shells) “Food for thought” Konknni programme’s the first episode was recorded and telecast by CCRTV in the month of October 2017.
When I had suggested this programme to CCRTV, I had planned for maximum 30 episodes. But it gradually grew to 100, 150, 200, 250, and now on the 7th of October 2022 on the Feast of Our Lady of Rosary, we have recorded 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, and 304 episodes! All praise and glory to God who did this miracle through us the team of CCRTV. Though I plan each episode, its story or anecdote and present it directly without the written text, the success and credit goes to the entire team of CCRTV. Mr. Dada Shirodkar usually does the recording and takes care of technical aspects. The other team members look after light, sound, camera adjustment, arrangements, and editing works. Through this popular programme, we promote positive universal value system, standard spoken Konknni, and cultivate the habit of self reflection. In the beginning CCRTV was telecasting two new episodes of Xinpyêntlim Môtyam per week. Now at my request only one new episode will be telecast on Wednesday and on the same day it will be uploaded on the YouTube. At present the episode 214 is uploaded on the YouTube. If all the factors are favourable and conducive I intend to present 500 episodes of Xinpyêntlim Môtyam. Besides Xinpyêntlim Môtyam, CCRTV regularly telecasts my other Konknni programmes like “Bhøkti Lharam (26 videos of non-denominational hymns)”; “Bhurgyanlem Angønn (16 videos of Children’s songs and many more are in the process of editing)”; “Konknni Bhas (13 videos of teaching of the Konknni vocabulary to adults)”; and “Learning Konknni (21 videos of teaching Konknni to school children)”. Since CCRTV is a non-profit making venture, I have rendered totally free service to its mission. CCRTV has become a boon for me to promote Konknni irrespective of its multiple scripts among Konknnis (Konknni speakers) and Konknni lovers all over the world. The greatest advantage is all the above mentioned videos and the other videos of the CCRTV are available on the YouTube and could be viewed anywhere and at any time. Though day by day those who read Konknni are reducing, but due to the CCRTV, the number of those who listen and view Konknni programmes is increasing!!! A good news indeed.
