Just as Roland found George's talk uninteresting, I too was disappointed. Since the clip is perhaps just a small part of the talk, it is not known if George regaled with his witticism further into his talk. I second Roland in saying that George should have inspired young writers. However, in the clip I don't see many youngsters so the talk could have been tailored to the audience. Let's give George the benefit of the doubt. For those who really like to know George they should pick up his Sugar and Spice book as well as read his pieces in Goa Today. His humour is not pointed but subtle. He does not overwhelm the reader but guides the reader gently. I still remember him creating a big laugh in a group that had many women when he visited Toronto for the 1988 First Goan International Convention. He said that it is only in Toronto that he found gravity defies the law, referring to the women who wore strapless gowns.
