A tribute to Shalini Mardolkar, TAG's condolence meet etc


Shalini Mardolkar died in Bombay on 7th January 2013
 


I don't remember seeing Shalini bai live on stage but I heard a lot about her from others including my mother. The only time I saw her was during TAG's awards Ceremony in Dec. 2009 and that's when I tried my best to capture her on my cameras (see pics and videos below).

How one can forget the song  'Dol Mhoje Bai' in 1966 film NIRMONN?
I am sure, most households in Goa sing the lullaby (that sung to young children before going to sleep)
including Goans settled abroad.

Shalini acted more in Gujrathi and Marathi dramas than in Konkani Tiatr (Drama) and yet she left behind some unforgetable memories such as her role in J P Souzalin 'Sat dukhi'  where she acted as 'Saibinn' (Our Lady). The role was so pefect that the audience in the end lined up to kiss her (Saibinn)backstage - Watch video where some speakers talk about it.
 
 Condolence Meet was organised by Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG)
On 14th Jan, 2013 at Ravindra Bhavan Black Box.

Not many tiatrists attended the Condolence meet- enough publicity given in most dailies in the form of Adverts and news items (This sort of attendence is more or less the same for all such TAG's condolence meets)

I spotted Oswy Viegas, Bab Andrew, C D Silva, Cyriaco Dias, Anil-Fatima, Tomazin - Irene,
Wilson-Sharon, Willy (Luiza)  and  a few others.
If we take off TAG staff, and 1-2 Cameramen,  the remaining figure would be less than 20.
Its strange but true.

  1. Thank you Mr. JoeUK - this material I think is worth storing in some safe place. God bless you for your never ending hard work for love of Goa and Goans.
