(Band Soul Express, Dr. Varun Carvalho, Mime show, Zagor, Brass band etc)
More Hawkers, more beggars all from outside Goa.
Besides large trucks/pickup with gensets parked on the pavements
The so called Red Carpet at Old GMC entrance..
What a farce!
Red Carpet for whom?
Goa Police or the Armed Military force?
They are the one seen closeer to the carpet.
Red Carpet crew - Brass band
Middle of the road, some police obstructing the clear view of the public who are standing on other side of the road behind barriers.
As if that was not enough, the two way two lane busy DB road, vehicles including buses were passing both ways, often stopping in the middle.
Programes usually starts from 7pm but the promenade get crowded from 5 pm. Even the King Momo and the other artiste for Shigmo, Sangodd & Bonderam appear 7pm onwards.
The stage opp Dempo house seems sparingly used.
Ideally, this would be the better option for the Kala Academy congested stage which is located opp FL Gomes Garden, Children Park.
Beer flowing so cheap. Just Rs.20 per glass (Usually Rs.28).
Teens as young as 14 seen enjoying the cheap king of good time.
Some says, that gives them a kick to go onto the dancing floor.
At Inox courtyard too beer and wines available, looks like they did not take BS seriously this time too.
What more? Casino Royal promos say a ‘must visit’.
Dr. Varun Carvalho complained over the microphone that the security at the gate held the entire group for about two hours taking them as potential Pakistanis.
Their show was to start at 7pm but started just after 9 pm. due to hold up.
However, on the programe schedule for the day on Newspapers ads, it was said Band ‘Purple Rain’
I like the old bollywood films poster exhibition at Old GMC.
Films like Sholay, Andhi, Shree 420, Mother India etc are on display.
