Dear Louella
You are great indeed! Remember the hymn “Great indeed are your works oh Lord”
At Easter it is good to remember Him who created us and all things bright and beautiful all creatures great and small.
Have a holy and peaceful time
George

Dear Mr.Menezes, … you are really great… I am in touch after a long time.. and you are to blame.. for since the time you forwarded me `Sugar & Spice… I am engrossed in reading it… some of them over and over again… most of your writtings are so close to my heart. The `Anticonversion Bill Rally.. and brough back memories.. of the march and you on a Jeep at the Oval…. and who all were there.. still remember them and the meeting at St.Xavier’s college…..
I am not a Widower; but due to financial conditions – at 60 working in the Gulf .. staying alone.. and missing all those homely `noises’ including the Mumbai tensions.

Dear Arti
Thank you for your very compassionate post
Some of my writing is obviously exaggerated for effect
I am doing great.
Yes I am alone but not lonely. For many reasons and one of course is because of nice people making an effort to communicate with me
Bless you
George

Dear Anjali
Always appreciate your feedback
I have deleted the repetition of the post..erroneously done
Your return to settle in Goa is very welcome and at the appropriate time in my life. God bless you on your new journey after so many years abroad. Christophe came back and now you. It takes courage

Nice to see you back.The Anthology is ready Se attached
Back cover
“George was a liberal long before the word became fashionable and long after the word fell into disrepute. We have known George the writer for a long time but we know little about George the man. In this anthology of his writing, annotated by Selma Carvalho, he strikes a more sombre note, reflecting on growing up as the eldest son of the eminent Professor Armando Menezes, his close relationships, secular politics in a changing India, joining the BJP and his role as the Lay conscience of the Catholic Church. With exclusive access to photographs, private letters and unpublished family memoirs, we encounter a Menezes family history of nationalism, religion and activism. In a writing career which spans over sixty years and as a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement award for Journalism, he is a keen chronicler of our times, incisive and uncannily prescient. His writing will continue to speak to us intimately for generations to come.”
We are debating about the Title. The first choice was “Watching my own passing away” Strongly opposed by close family as being morose and depressing
The tile must orovoke and get the attenton of book browsers so we have settled on “The Naked Liberal”
Liberal and transparent.
