Happy New Year Twenty-Ten
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A patrician, all six feet of his grim demeanour, I recall. Born to the
manor, Porvorim and Bombay's Club Back Road, he was the son of physician
parents, both dermatologists. Socrates and Myrtle de Noronha were elected
Members of the City Council. Myrtle tabled the 1937 'Bombay Social Hygiene
Act' that created and laid out the boundries of the 'girlie' triangular
district in central Bombay, and required on site medical checks on the women
employed by the 'shops.'
Leslie spent decades in England before returning to the medical rooms on Mayo
Road. A lifelong bachelor, he was indeed married to his true love: the Theater
and creative writing. I did miss the Examiner reviews, after I left home.
