Patricia Ann Alvares
Yatin Kakodkar
President
ICG, Director Apex Packaging Pvt Ltd
Realising
late in the year that the hopes I nurtured for a healthy life-work balance in
2014 have been dashed, my resolve for sharper time-management in 2015 has
become all the more stronger. Even if that means keeping pesky phone calls at
bay, skipping dodgy social dos, and warning wily staff not to ambush me at work
with heaps of paperwork.
John D’Silva
Tiatrist/actor/director/producer
Through my tiatrs and VCD films, I will spread the message to save what is left of our Goa. I will also deal firmly and severely with anyone who asks for a bribe from me.

industry more.

I would like to work toward promoting peace in society, especially in
the direction of conversion that is preventing social peace and in such a
manner that can be achieved through law or goodwill of the people.
Eduardo Kol de Carvalho
Director – Fundacao Oriente
I would like to deepen my knowledge of art, literature and culture of
Goa and India. It is something I do every day as I continue meeting many
interesting people. Last year, we did a monograph on A X Trindade and this year
we are planning a biography of Angela Trindade.

To relax and take care of my health as I am a workaholic. I want to
take a step back from everything and plan things out in a better manner so I

recognition for India on the global map, both in fashion as well as music.

hope to make more leisure time for myself once things have settled down.
Rajendra Talak
Film Producer and Director
Personally, I look forward to undertaking two projects – one is
building Kalangan –Centre for the Performing Arts, and the other is dedicated

working on any films. In fact, for the next 10 years, I resolve to devote my
time wholeheartedly to making Margao the best city in Goa.

quality mother-son time as well as family time. To never give up dancing and to
exhort my students to make fitness a priority.
Isabel S R Vas
Theatre –MSAC/Writer
I want to explore other avenues of creativity I can get into. To
continue with my research for my next play and to give my home a thorough
dusting – open old cupboards and decide what I want to keep and what I want to
let go of, both in the physical and metaphorical sense.

that would help young passionate girls achieve their dreams.

the personal front, to spend as much time as I can with my daughter as she is
growing up so fast!
