Dear sheetal

looking forward to seeing you at Sylva Condor
I have lots to share with young people
if you look at the ages of all those scamsters as well as those of being locked up in jail you realize that only the young can make a difference
I’m off tomorrow for 10 days to visit my darling daughter Anjali and her husband Sven at Cambridge
much love
George

Comment on Fare thee well, “Old Girl” by Menezes George

Thank you for visiting my site. I know for sure you have not forgotten me neither have I forgotten your visits to my site. It makes a writer feel good. Writing the piece for Thecla was a traumatic experience. Although the words flowed as if a dam had burst so did the tears.
You’re right. Thecla is still around always
keep in touch
Georgy boy long time since somebody called me that. My sister’s used to till I grew up

It’s been ages since I visited your exciting website. But that does imply I had forgotten you and your ability to find beauty in even sordid situations. Glancing thru your latest articles, this quality permeates thru your words of love and admiration for your ‘Old Girl’. I am sure she enjoyed reading it — and, most probably, telling the folks up there about the scamp she fell for!

Keep in mind, Georgy Boy, Thecla will be watching, so you have to take care of yourself — at least for her sake!

Dear Uncle George,

It would be so wonderful to talk to you the next time I’m in Bombay.
In the mean time I’m going to do the exercise of the circle of concern and keep trying my hardest to BE the change I want to see.
Thanks uncle.

Waiting for your next post.

With love,
Sheetal.

Dear Sheetal

Thanks for taking time to visit my site. You know, you’re so very different from most young people I meet, fewer than fewer, as I grow old. People of your age and with your knowledge and skills have only to realize that knowledge and skills are not sufficient unless you convert them to results. The third ingredient in effectiveness therefore are your attitudes. People like you can make a difference to this beautiful nation and bring about change.
We can talk about it when you’re next here.. In the meanwhile let me share with you a simple concept. Draw a large circle which is the circle of your concerns. You cannot change the world but you can make a difference to your back yard to your neighborhood, your home, your place of work, the circle of friends therefore draw another circle, a small one. It is the circle of a control or the circle of influence. A few things in the large circle of concern that you can control or influence. Focus on that. We are the change that we want to happen
Want, as you said, to organize a bandh? What a coincidence. My next posting on the website is about a very special bandh
much love
george

Painfully true story, Uncle George. The analogy between home grown scams and the colonial loot is so hard hitting. When I was younger, with all the scandals I read about; bofors, fodder, etc., it was always so clear to me who the villains were.. not so anymore. Everyone, me included, now seem in on it. Criminal apathy.
Despite all the information and the exposure to how the rest of the world functions, the average Indian doesn’t seem to realize that a good quality of life in a system that actually works, doesn’t need to wait for vacation time when one can leave the country and enjoy it elsewhere.

Thank you for giving me much to think about, I’m going to need a lot of time to process this with honestly.
Maybe I’ll call a bandh. I’ve heard anyone can do it now.

Hi John

Com estas amigo de brasil ?
thank you for your comment
I come from Goa a colony of the Portuguese for 400 years. Got its independence in 1960.. I live in Bombay and go to Goa every month for management consultancy, for writing a column and for relaxation.
Em nossa casa nos falamos Portugues. Noan temos estudos em Portugues maz minha Mae so falava Purtugues . Era lingua dos Goes during that time
if you visit my site carefully you’ll find lots of articles about Goa which you may enjoy
I visited Rio de Janeiro and San Paulo many many years ago on work. My employers Hoechst Pharmaceuticals had a factory in San Paulo

George

Dear friend
thanks for your comment. I’m not too good with the Internet and perhaps have not heard of the site called “Bing”
no matter along as people across the world get to communicate with each other. Do go back to my site then you have the time
