It must be said that Goans are blessed with different types of talent. One can witness the acting talent in tiatrs and nataks which are held regularly. Besides acting, Goans are also known the world over as talented singers and musicians. However it must be said that Goans are also blessed with several different other talents, however, there is no proper platform for citizens to display their talent. It is pertinent to note there are television shows like ‘America’s Got Talent’, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, India’s Got Talent’ to name a few. Instead of a televised show the Goa government through the Directorate of Art and Culture could organize a live ‘Goa’s Got Talent’ competition where individuals can showcase their talent on stage. The various types of art forms could include mimicry, magic tricks, card tricks, show of trained pets, gymnastics or for that matter any other talent besides singing, playing musical instruments and dancing. The competition should be open and have no age bar. While carrying out normal duties one could have a passion which they pursue in their spare time. It is necessary to unearth this hidden talent.
