UK Konkan association held a remarkable Christmas celebration despite the whether being very bad. It was an astounding performance indeed. It was a mixture of several pieces of performance like dances for Bollyhood and Konkani numbers. The celebration began with an apprehensive note of inconvenience caused by the bad weather. Many people could not travel on roads as it was still snowing and slippery. However there were many of them participated in the event very well.
Cultural presentation was compeered by Jerry Dias who set a perfect start with his witty jokes and shahiris. Dance by a little girl Tia D'souza was mind blowing indeed. She seems like a budding artist who has bright future indeed. Dance of Irene Lobo made the audience dumb-founded. She with her dancing expertise entertained the audience to the brim. Little witty skits by Melwin, Stella and the group made the audience laugh at their full energy. They were like professional artists performed on stage. Songs by Eric, Beena, Mihir and Jerry rocked the room with their astounding and beautiful voices.
Traditional Mangalorean style lunch was the hallmark of the event. Many hands have gone into making this lunch sumptuous indeed. I am sure most people had a wonderful smile on their faces after the lunch which is a feather in UK Konkans cap. I think it was a tedious task preparing this lunch indeed. I cherish the moments at the lunch time.
On the whole it was a meaningful celebration of Christmas with families from different parts of the UK. I wish to thank all the organisers who made this event possible. Some of you might have burnt your mid night oil to make this event successful. I wish this continues and make our Mangalorean community strong here in the UK and in doing this we remember our roots and traditions. This surely will be transferred to our children in the future.
