STRIKINGLY TRUE - FROM MODEL TO REALITY - ST. ANNE'S CHURCH, TALAULIM, GOA.



Strikingly true. From a model to reality. The Museum of the Orient, adjacent to Fundação Oriente in Lisbon, Portugal, celebrates the history of Portuguese exploration with a collection of Asian artifacts. The museum opened in May, 2008, and is located in a refurbished industrial building on the Alcântara waterfront. Browsing around the museum while on our trip in March 2017 to Portugal, I came across a model of the massive and magnificent Church of St. Anne at Talaulim, Goa, located in the Santana district of Old Goa, India, a picture of which I had taken in 2012 while on a visit to the church there. The 17th century imposing church is one of the major architectural masterpieces of the colonial Portuguese Baroque architecture built in Portuguese India.

Happy Mother's Day


Today, 13th of May, as we celebrate Mother's Day, it is also the 101st anniversary of the apparition of our Blessed Mother Mary in the Cova da Iria of Fatima, Portugal. It was spring time in 1917. The children – Lucia Santos, Francisco and Jacinta Marto – reported apparition of the angel and of the Virgin Mary, who the children described as the Lady more brilliant than the sun.

TONY Y-NOT












When I used to DJ in my younger years, my name surprised people (particularly those who are not educated on the existence of Catholicism, Christianity and Portuguese colonization in India). I often got asked "TONY!?! Is that your REAL name?" To which I would respond "Y-NOT?"
Some even asked me whether I only play Hindi music.
