Just this morning I ran into Shekar in Ponda, who is widely regarded as the Goan with the largest brain, measuring one-and-one-third brain. He would like to know what scale Gilbert uses to measures brains. He is concerned that Gilbert uses some cheating goldsmith's scale, where the actual is always less than stated. Hence, half-a-brain may actually be eight-tenth of a brain. Shekar's sister, Sonia, is curious if Gilbert is confused about hyphenated words like half-brain. Does Gilbert believe a cat-fish is a cat? Does he think a piggy-bank is a little pig? Does he think chicken-soup is a chicken or a soup? > Go and celebrate.

Shekar's dad likes Gilbert's idea of "go and celebrate" especially in India but is worried about the global warming implication of flying to three locations. Would it not be better to rather spend 3 months in one location? Or at least three locations next to each other? He suggested a month in Ponda, a month in Valpoi and a month in Bicholim, not exactly next to each other but close enough for Frank, the nine-tenth of a brain motor-cycle taxi guy to take him around.
