People from Chembur always made me feel wanted and appreciated. The Redemptorists, the pretty girls, the young Saint Vincent de Paul members, the cricket and hockey on the Club grounds and the gratitude of the really poor and the lepers whose mortal remains were ferried in my Station Wagon to burial grounds and crematoriums have made me WHOLE. I am grateful to all of them for giving me and opportunity to serve

The funny thing about the Wesite is that some of the articles are dated.
It is four years since I was 75.
Thank you for being such a precious friend

Love
George

It was such a pleasant surprise to come across your website – the link was sent to me by a friend from Australia – thats how far and wide you are known – and loved!!!

You havent lost your touch George, au contraire – you keep getting better, like old wine – your writings are still superb. I still vividly remember your article “When the body bags come home” which was written after the Kargil war – I think. It was truly touching – I still have the paper cutting!

And by the way – I thought of you on the 10th of April – but didnt know it was your 75th. Had intended calling you up to wish you – but somehow got busy with work and it slipped my mind. Anyway, A Happy belated 75th birthday!!! – and may the remaining “25 years” be even better than the last 75 were. You have been “so much” to “so many” – half of Chembur were and some still are gainfully employed all thanks to you – Collin is a case in point. My wish for you over the next 25 – biblically speaking – “and it shall be given to you in good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over ………..”

You can bet I will be a regular visitor to your site from now on!!

Love to Techla, Christophe, Marina and the kids,

Love and God Bless

Simply overwhelming is your beautiful vignette reflecting on this watershed event celebrating 75 hectic and high achieving years of life.

On your grand Platinum Jubilee
It’s great you had a big spree
With all your friends and family
to celebrate with elan and glee

You’ve also crafted a big litany
Of resolutions to make you free
From past awful deeds of iniquity
To attain a new goals without fantasy

But be proud of what today you be
Grown in stature as a mighty oak tree
Offering with warm shade and majesty
Love, hope and help to many like me

And above all your wonderful philosophy
Expressed in humourous Truth with Levity
Entertains and educates the World you see
Let’s rejoice happily on your 75th Anniversary

God bless you and yours

Sincerely

Arnold

Never imagined we would still be in touch

It was a blessing being able to work with people like you

George

Very few like you have the joy and wonder of living to be 75 or even more. It was enjoyabe reading your 75 years of your live, some of which I did share when I worked under you in Hoechst India Ltd at Mulund.
Hope you live to be 85, 95, and the rest I leave it you and God, so that I will be able to read more 10, 20 and if God willing more about your life.

Regards, Keep writing while I keep smiling reading

Thank you

Like all really nice people you have got your priorities wrong

When I was the dishes my wife washes them once more.

Websites, especially like mine, come a dime a dozen. Husbands and kids

are irreplaceable

Take my site one sip at a time.

No comments so far from anyone on my love poems. People are scared. I

was before I decided to post them. Much more to come

Love
George

I was so excited to hear about your website. Even though i have loads of laundry to do ( fortunately my husband will wash the dishes) and the kids need to have a bath. I am sitting here reading all these wonderful articles on your website.

Good Bless and best regards to Aunty and the extended Family
