When I read Mathany Saldanha's statement asking tourists to leave Goa, I was disappointed and at the same time, a bit amused as well. I don't think I need to tell you why I was disappointed. The amusing part is more interesting. Mathany Saldanha taught me Biology at Don Bosco a long time ago. In fact, 16 years ago. You tend to remember some things about your teachers, especially things that "hit" you. With Mathany the thing that "hit" us was his belt. He was notoriously known to belt the shit out of kids. When I say belt, I mean the thing you put around your pant to keep it from respecting the force of gravity. Other teachers had other instruments. For example, both our PT teachers used their whistle chords, which by the way, wasn't any better. One other guy had a specially crafted piece of wood that he carried with him at all times because he wasn't satisfied by the effectiveness of the common wooden ruler. My sincere advice to the Goa Police is to relieve Mathany of his belt before they do anything else with him. Because once he gets it off, there's no telling where he will swing it. But every cloud has a silver lining. The good thing about him using the belt as a means of inflicting pain is that he cannot do it for long. After all, belting someone with one hand while holding your pants up with the other is not something you can do for long. Not even Sir Mathany. Deelip Menezes www.deelipmenezes.com
