As Valentine’s day nears, Goa’s own Slipdisc.in has announced a one-of-a-kind contest “ ‘Mr & Ms Mog Asun’ “ on February 14 to hunt for the most romantic couple in Goa.
The concept of this contest was born in December of 2020 at a briefing session on what to do to mark the first anniversary of the liquor brand Mog Asun. The trio, Anand Pardeshi, owner of Mog Asun, along with Keith Fernandes, CEO of Slipdisc advertising and Bina Nayak, the creative consultant at Slipdisc, unanimously decided on this contest for couples on Valentine’s Day, as the day marks the first anniversary of the launch of the premium whiskey brand in the Goan market.
“Ours is a fully Goan product, and now a symbol of Goan and Konkani pride. The name ‘Mog Asun’ is taken from Mog Asundi- which means- ‘Let there be love’ in Konkani,” smiles Anand Pardeshi.
The couple will have to go up on stage together and with a mike in hand, narrate their love story. It can be about how they met, or about the issues they have faced and overcome, about some funny/ interesting incident in their lives that proved their love for each other, about how they survived the lockdown together.
This is an exclusive event with limited participation by invitation only (also due to Covid safety norms). The participants can be aged between 18-90 years.
15 couples have registered so far. A total of 40 people will be getting up on stage with each couple getting 5-10 minutes to tell their story.
The winner will receive an exclusive handcrafted cupid trophy, a Mr Mog Asun & Ms Mog Asun sash and a hamper. The event is from 7 pm onwards on February 14 at Chillout Restobar, Guirim in Bardez.
