Congratulations and best wishes for the evening to the Friends of Goa in Singapore.
You have a good theme and good arrangements: Goa Feni from Madame Rosa Goa sausages A Bombay live band And of course my favorite - Singapore Tiger beer. Wish organizers of Goan village functions here in Toronto would do likewise. Here we would have: Scotch and Canadian or European beer Punjabi banquet hall food - typically the butter chicken of which if I see another plate I will puke, mutton masala (meat pieces floating in oil), tandoori chicken and pakoras. Fit for the palate of a Punjabi truck driver on the Grand Trunk Road to Ludhiana. Nobody speaks in Konkani. You may even see someone in a ten gallon Texas hat and cowboy boots. As if somehow Tivim has a strong connection with Texas. The only concession to a Goan village social for such Toronto functions would be some females dressed in their best Gulf fashions of 1975, having reluctance to discard these passe clothing in deference to their memories of Gulf heydays.
