Dear Mr Menezes: I'm appalled to read your gripping article on the dismal state of affairs prevailing in my native city,good old Mumbai. For a moment I thought you were living in Iraq or Lebanon today and describing the pandemonium that reigns in those territories. Having had the pleasureof reading a marvellous anthology of humorous anecdotes authored by you, I'm shocked to read your Jeremiad on our beloved city. Your subject piece published in "Goanet's" July 21 edition is a stark antithesis of what I have enjoyed from your fine satirical and humorous pen.
Your great happy-go-lucky, military spirit that hitherto exuded bonhomie, sportmanship and optimism seems to have suffered a severe battering. I commiserate with your frustrations and deep concerns. It's sad that mavens with your staunch patriotism and civic-mindedness feel hopelessly discouraged at times. Wishing you all the best in your heroic endeavours to "clean the Augean stables" in your neck of the woods, Respectfully Arnold Noronha Wilmington, Delaware, ---------------------------------------------------------------- Read all Goanet messages at: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/ _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list Goanet@lists.goanet.org http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
