>From Dom’s antique shelf!

Amitabh Bachchan has been a close friend of the late Romeo Mendes and his wife,
Antonette. As a token of their friendship, Amitabh lent his voice for
Antonette’s first audio cassette titled “Jivit Ek Sopon”. The introduction
of the audio cassette begins with Amitabh’s following dialogue:

AMITABH BACHCHAN: “Hanv, Amitabh Bachchan, tumchea mukar haddta,
Antonetachi poili Konkani cassette “Jivit ek Sopon” (Life is a dream). I
wish Antonette all success. Hanv, Goa zaite pavtt pavlam. Goa ani Goencho
lok mhaka ekdom boro lagta. Dev Borem Korum.”

(I, Amitabh Bachchan, present Antonette’s first Konkani cassette “Jivit ek
Sopon” (Life is a dream). I wish Antonette all success. I have been to Goa
many times. I like Goa and Goans very much. Thank you.)

On behalf of Goans, I wish Amitabh Bachchan Many Happy Returns of the Day
and a very happy birthday. We wish him all the best in his life.

Moi-mogan,

Domnic Fernandes
