Moira reminisces

[Frederick Noronha]

Moira, the village of rivers, fertile fields, hillocks and interesting people, is to celebrate the 100 this anniversary of ita village club. 

One understands that a special souvenir, comprising present and past articles, wil be released on the occasion soon. Likely to be a collector's item, though one has not yet seen it.

You could get details via Augusto Pinto and the email id is pint...@gmail.com.

Collector's item it will be. 

Apart from the well written Moira President's Centenary message and an editorial by me, there is a reprint of the late Dr. Teotonio de Souza's A Peep into the Past, a history of Moira which is certainly not the wedding album sort that village histories tend to be. 

Then there are excellent articles on the Communidade of Moira by Leroy Veloso and an article which focuses on the geography of the village by Nazar da Silva. 

While these articles are ostensibly about Moira they also are equally enlightening for other villages as most villages have Communidades and 'khazans' and 'gawars' (watertables). 

Then there is an article on the hundred years of the club by me and on the musicians of Moira (and there are a host of them led by the legendary Micky Correa and the music teacher Philomena D'Cruz and the drummer Paklo or Xavier de Moira) by Dr. Glenis Mendonca and Jeffrey D'Souza. 

And an article on Moira's biodiversity by Karl Pinto Souza and Jeffrey D'Souza illustrated by David de Souza's photography. 

There are nostalgic articles on various aspects and eras of Moira by the award winning novelist Jerry Pinto, Pio Sequeira, Betsy Pinto-Nunes and Liza Sequeira and a photo-essay on the octogenarions and nonagenarians of Moira by David de Souza, the internationally renowned art photographer. 

The article is peppered with cartoons and caricatures by Air Vice Marshal Gilez Gomez VSM who after an illustrious career in the IAF has started a new and again literally illustrious career post retirement as a cartoonist. 

So yes, even if you think I'm biased when I say this, I think it'll be a collector's item, and although the price is reasonable (₹ 150/= was what the Club President Oswald Cordeiro last told me although I'll know for sure tomorrow) there's a very limited number of copies to go on sale. That's tomorrow, February 16 after 5 pm at the Moira Club. 

As the old cliché goes: Hurry till Stocks Last! 

Best
