SAD DEMISE OF REV. FR. FREDDY J. DA COSTA
& MR. FELICIO CARDOZO
Goa grieves the loss of Rev Fr. reddy J da Costa, editor of Konkani monthly "Gulab", and Mr Felicio Cardozo, eminent Konkani writer and freedom fighter, who expired in a tragic accident last night while travelling to Hubli.
The driver of the vehicle has been seriously injured. For Konkani lovers, the death of Goa's two illustrious sons is an irreparable loss, both being in Konkani journalism in the roman script and the language itself far too long.
Just recently efforts have been initiated to rejuvenate the Dalgado Konkani
Academy, to work for the development of roman script Konkani. Fr Freddy
alongwith Felicio Cardozo and Tomazinho Cardozo figured prominently among those who had volunteered to spearhead the proposed movement. Since Fr Freddy had kicked death twice on account of his sickness, I just cannot believe that death could snatch him away so cruelly in a road accident.
Fr Freddy was longing to celebrate the silver jubilee of "Gulab", which is in its 22nd year of publication. I had a close rapport with him for about 18 years, and always found him frank in his opinions and always encouraging in his approach to writers. Fr Freddy and Felicio, both read, wrote and dreamt Konkani, and generally worked together in most of the projects and even travelled together to research stories for "Gulab". Fate also willed them to depart this earth together.
A dazed Brazinho Soares Kalapurkar broke the tragic news to me this morning, it has left me reeling under the shock. My message to the net is still lying in the outbox because of some server problem. Shall post more details as soon as I receive them.
