THE ANOMALIES OF RECOGNITION
Recognition is a universal need and its occurrence in everyone’s life is a
matter of fate or faith. Growing up, I bemoaned that for centuries before my
time, the world acknowledged its illustrious with glowing indifference and
conferred recognition several decades after they had exited existence.
Centuries later, the same indifference continues to proliferate.
For the majority, the lack of means and educational comprehension is the
contributing catalyst in generating this indifference. For the elite, it is by
design. Their wallets materialize on cue shortly after yet another unsung
entity has been discovered in an unmarked grave or urn.
With the ascent of millionaires and billionaires, unsung entities now have a
promising shot at opening a bank account in their lifetime, perhaps, even a
Swiss account. There’s one malignant “Catch” though, which began as 22 and has
now metastasized into 44. One needs money to breed money! The competing
option is to blow one’s foghorn, ad nauseam. Hopefully, a shipping vessel
transporting illegal refugees might heed the call and come at full throttle to
the rescue.

A string of modern and contemporary Goan artists like F N Souza,
Vasudeo Gaitonde and Angelo da Fonseca are universally acclaimed as
world class, easily amongst the very best India has ever produced. But
that is not the case with Goan writers of a similar vintage. The
standout exception was the bold, brilliant poet Eunice de Souza, who
died peacefully on Saturday at her home in Vakola, a suburb of Mumbai,
aged 77.
