Time traveller one George Menezes
Mumbai Mirror | Aug 28, 2013, 12.35 PM IST
Columnist, humorist, satirist, former diplomat and an 'outspoken Lay
conscience' of the Catholic church, George Menezes's sixth book is about to
hit the stands.
An anthology of his various works, The Naked Liberal, pieces together
George's eventful life from the 30s to the present decade. So if you have
the former IAF pilot talking about his experiments with politics and pot,
there are also vignettes of an elegant society in Bombay, Goa and Paris,
with rare photographs, letters and anecdotes as a bonus.
Eighty-four-year-old George, now a resident of Bandra, has interesting plans
for the launch. We hear two Mumbai bravehearts - traffic warden Anita Lobo
and Major General Ian Cardozo - will do the honours.
Lobo needs no introduction to readers of this newspaper - she was one of the
Mirror Heroes thanks to her integrity and commitment toward implementing
traffic rules in the suburbs. Cardozo, a 1971 Indo-Pak war hero who lost a
leg in a landmine explosion, went on to become the first disabled officer in
the Indian Army to command an infantry battalion and then a brigade. Time to
top up your reading list?
