PANAJIDalgado Konknni Akademi (DKA) will observe ‘Reginaldo Fernandes Day’ on June 14, the birth date of late Reginaldo Fernandes who is also known as ‘Romaxincho Patxai’ in the Konkani world. Son of Reginaldo, Sally Fernandes will be the Chief Guest and President of DKA Vincy Quadros will preside over the function. Born on June 14, 1914 Reginaldo wrote more than 200 novels which attracted young and the old to read Konkani literature. As per the knowledge, there are at least three novels unpublished and awaiting the publisher since the last 18 years. There is a demand that his acclaimed novels be reprinted. But the problem is, the recent readership find the old format of Reginald a little difficult to understand and request to print in the latest Romi writing format. The issue is being discussed with Sally bab, and a solution will surely be worked out. The function, this year fixed at DKA’s Reginaldo Fernandes Conference Hall at 4 pm on June 14, is open to all Konkani lovers and DKA requests everyone to attend the same.
