The recent controversy surrounding the air tickets of our beloved Konkani drama artists traveling from the UK to Goa has deeply saddened the entire Goenkar community. Whoever is responsible for these mistakes must have the courage to come forward and address the public honestly. Silence and blame games only deepen wounds and fuel unnecessary conflict. True respect for our cultural icons demands transparency and responsibility. For the love of the Konkani language, and for the countless triatist lovers and Goenkars around the world who hold this art dear, it is time to end this episode swiftly and amicably. Let us rise above petty disputes and work together to restore harmony and dignity. We also take this opportunity to extend our best wishes to Antoinette de Maina for her 50th Golden Jubilee of *Fuddarachi Ranni Hanv Tuji*. May this milestone celebration be filled with well-deserved recognition for her invaluable contribution to Konkani theatre. The real heroes are those who resolve conflicts with grace and prioritize the cultural heritage we all cherish. We urge the concerned authorities and individuals to come forward and find a solution.
RONNIE DSOUZA, Chandor
