Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of James Dsouza, fondly known as "James Master". He was born in Kayyar and completed his schooling there, later pursuing his higher studies at St Aloysius College Mangalore. He began his career as a teacher at St Victor’s School, Nellikar, later served at St Mary’s High School, Kundapur, and subsequently worked as a teacher at Pezar. For the past 35 years, he had been residing at Bondel with his family. He was a very active member of the Konkani Natak Sabha, Mangalore, and a true custodian of our Konkani culture and traditions. His vast knowledge, especially in Voviyo and Verse, and his tireless dedication to preserving and promoting our cultural heritage will always be remembered with great respect. He had also written several dramas and skits. In 2005, he founded a team called “Konkani Mattov.” Under his inspiring leadership, he successfully organized numerous Voviyo and Verse workshops across Mangalore and the Udupi Diocese, and generously imparted training and conducted workshops in almost every parish of the Kasaragod Varado. He also organized many Voviyo and Verse competitions in various parishes. His recent book, "Somestank Paan Pod Udak" stands as a testimony to his deep love for literature and culture. His contributions to the Konkani community and cultural arts are immeasurable. We have lost a passionate mentor, guide, and cultural torchbearer. He was the beloved husband of Victoria Mendonca and a loving father to Jeethan and Juheene. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife Victoria Mendonca, his children Jeethan and Juheene, and the entire bereaved family. May the Almighty grant them strength, comfort, and peace during this difficult time. May the Almighty grant eternal rest to his noble soul and give strength and comfort to his family and loved ones during this time of grief. Rest in Peace, James Master. You will always live on through the culture and values you so lovingly nurtured.
