Folks,
I received a phone call at 3.00 am this morning.
My Tanzanian partner shouts, "Hey, your picture is in the newspapers here."
I reply, "My picture is in the Tanzanian newspapers?"
He breathlessly says, "No, I am in Mumbai, its lunchtime, I am reading the
newspapers and your picture is in it.
Thanks to Eddie Fernandes, I can now view the said picture.
Thanks to Eugene Correiya for the picture i.e. the Times of India did not
mention that is was Eugene's picture, but I will.
My only disappointment?
I wish Eugene had taken that picture five minutes later i.e. after I had won
the GOA water balloon tossing competition.
