Pemba, Tanzania. It would be hilarious it it weren’t tragic. An American man dove into the sea to paste a marriage proposal on the window of a boat cabin through which his lady was peering. The next thing she knows is that her beau disappears, lost to the depths of a tranquil sea. At least she didn’t say “yes”.
Houston, Texas. They tell us that Trump is off to a rally which isn’t his. The rally is actually organized for Modi, by the city’s populous and opulent Indian community. Both these leaders have little shame. Modi was refused entry to the US not too long ago and keeps getting snubbed by Trump on import duties. Trump on the other hand will grab any popularity going around, to show he’s doing a great job. Rally today, Tax tomorrow! Next thing you know Trump will say he’s been invited to India, with Modi quickly denying it. Vancouver, Canada. With elections round the corner, dirt was dug on Justin Trudeau, showing him browning his face for a party while a teacher in high school. No sooner had he apologized for this singular racial indiscretion, when it was quickly followed by another press photograph this time showing his blackened face. Then a third similar exposé followed. His excuse of a youthful prank didn’t cut it as he was then 29 and a school teacher to boot. Aldona, Goa. If you want to see the path Goa is taking, not the least of which is in the education system, all you have to do is watch the daily videos of the shenanigans going on in the St Thomas Higher Secondary School and college in Aldona village under labels like Peaceful Protest Day 1 (and day 2 and day 3). It’s a free-for-all by a) current management b) transferred out management c) parents supporting each of those two d) female students molested describing the scene to the mobs and e) the accused male teachers telling their supporters they are lily-white. The scenes are indescribable except by video and would put to shame lynch mobs grabbing beef transporters. If this is the state of village church managed schools (in this case the Francis of Sales Congregation based in Madras) one can only wonder how Patshalas (free municipal schools) in the State are run. Roland. Toronto.
