    nice,well done but keep more games for kids next year.instead of english songs there should have been more konkani songs.some non spicy foods for children would have been better.

    Well done, Mangalore Konkans Dubai!
    To those who who commented that the entire program was boring....how come you stayed for the entire program, if you did not enjoy any bit of it?? The function ran for almost 10 hours.
    You should have given up your table to the many who were enjoying the fiesta.
    FYI, it is called 'Family Fiesta 2010', so it is a get-together for the family.

    Mangalore Konkans should have given more importance to Konkani
    songs rather than western numbers.
    Its a get together as usual,nothing
    special in it.On the whole we found
    that entire programme was boring.

    The whole event was good but music could have been in Konakni like last year with Srilankan band and a female local singer in Konkani. People would have enjoyed more. Overall very good event, infact, event of the year. Santosh, again you proved to be a born leader. Congratulations

    I agree with Vivian Fernandes for certain extend, but I suppose Mangalore Konkans organising two events in a year (Major) one exclusively for Konkani speaking (Gulf Voice) and other for English speaking. Here language is not important , music and fun has no langauge. End of the day it was a worth outing...

    Congrats santhosh n ur team... Food n arrangements was superb. African music was good but very sad that there is not much priority given to konkani lovers...not much konkani songs, carols,MC n all..its disappointed to middle class people those konkani speaking people like us....As a konkans u shud give atleast 50% chance to konkani also...
