Dear FN,

Tuzo Mog is my the favourite Lorna song. My aunt who was just 18 when she wed 
into our family sang it for my uncle on her "pottone" which is the next day of 
the marriage in Salcete. I have my doubts that the version on the video is 
Lorna's because this is a Lorna classic sung at a very high pitch and almost 
impossible to remake for mere mortals. But I could be wrong. 

The video was so awful, I had to shut my eyes just to stop from laughing, 
although I admit to having seen it previously. It was just badly done. But I 
don't think we can be prudish about visual arts. I remember being very young 
(late seventies) and taken for a Konkani movie by my grand-mother. I don't 
remember the name but I remember clearly there was a dicey scene in that movie. 
A man and woman half-naked in bed. I couldn't figure it out at the time though 
:-) I also remember quite bawdy scenes in tiatres which would have been 
shocking to most conservative societies. So we Goans have a tradition of being 
liberal and we mustn't renege on it now.

Take care,
selma
