Dear drama enthusiasts,
 
You have accorded me great amount of love and honour which none of the Konkani dramatists were given so far. 
 
You have always been my support and encouraged me in all my stage shows.
 
I have been fortunate to stage diamond jubilee show of my drama- ‘Mataro Chorbela’ in the history of Mangalorean Konkani Theater.  First of all, I thank the Almighty God and to my patron St Rita.
 
It’s also significant that I have been felicitated by 34 organizations at the leadership of Daiji Dubai recently. 
 
I heartily feel that my service to promote Konkani theater for over 50 years is worth.
 
Without mentioning anyone’s name I would say that am really grateful to each one who supported me and I would cherish them in my heart.
 
Lastly once again I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.  I convey the blessings of Infant Jesus on the occasion of Christmas and also wish you peaceful and prosperous New Year.
