I tune in to AIR FM in the mornings as my mom who is 87 is eager to hear the Konkani songs. When I broke the news to her of her favourite M Boyer's death, she was sad. However, I consoled her by telling her that her favourite FM radio will oblige her with M Boyer's songs today as a mark of respect to his long innings.
Sad to say that what was aired was just some unusual trash enough to make me shut off the radio with disgust.
Cheers to M Boyer.
Goa and Goans will never miss him.

It is indeed sad to hear about the death of MBoyer. He was a great composer and his play always had social themes. Ekuch rosto brought unity between religions, sounsar sudorlo, Bhurgim bangar are some of the plays I can remember of his. He could compose songs at any moment of time even when he would be on the stage. He was a very simple man and never showed pride while moving with junior artist. He would respect other people . I was lucky to have acted with him in some of the tiatros of Fr.Freddy da Costa, Mike Mehta and he even acted in my own play "Nirmon " when I had stagged in the school where I was teaching. In his death the state has lost one of the great artist .Our sincere sympathies with the family who always were with him when ever he staged his own plays. May his soul rest in peace
