The gorgeous young girl smiled shyly. The crowd gasped, then roared. Rita Faria hadjust been crowned the most beautiful woman in theworld, giving India its first ever world-beautytitle in 1966. Of course, she was a Konkani - a Goan fromBombay. Three years earlier, another Rita - anotherKonkani - a Lobo from Mangalore this time - wasimmortalized forever as the heroine Flavia in theevergreen "Amchem Noxib" movie. C. Alvares, as the young hero Dr. Monteiro,punted her down the river and into movie-historyas they sang the unforgettable "Mollbailo Dou"(Heavenly Dew). The rivers of memory run deep on this one. Justas music runs so deep and rich in our veins. I'm sure you'd love to play this timeless classictoo. Well..... On 20 August, you will!
