It was such a very pleasant delight meeting up last night with Goa’s Padma Shri and noted educationist Suresh baab Gundu Amonkar at a function in the newly renovated Gaspar Dias Hall at Miramar.
I recollect having first met Suresh Amonkar in 1972 when he was a Judge at an inter-school elocution competition at which I was participating. Today despite being 80+ Suresh Amonkar stands tall as ever, as always extremely gregarious and showing no signs of slowing down. All this after he having battled cancer for over a decade with so many sessions of chemotherapy. Suresh Amonkar insists that it’s only very strong will power and courage that can go a long way in battling cancer and that no one should maintain a veil of secrecy or shy away over any ailment being suffered including Cancer. The very outspoken prolific writer and extremely knowledgeable Suresh Amonkar has always been a True Goenkar with a very broad outlook.
