The Goans in middle-east liked to have picnics in the dessert sands because the folks wanted to believe they are on the sea-shore, while in Goa Gulfie Goans get to the shore, because it also reminds them of the sands of the desert. The two sides long for one another.<br />Its a poetically a perfect match.Vishvesh Kandolkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226870883039228372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-19065035558920047662015-11-29T13:54:32.777-08:002015-11-29T13:54:32.777-08:00Thank you for such a beautifully written article. ...Thank you for such a beautifully written article. jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301902337267831872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-84368241830639403692015-03-19T09:23:14.549-07:002015-03-19T09:23:14.549-07:00I am sure that I know your Dad email me elidorego@...I am sure that I know your Dad email me elidorego@btinternet.com, strange that I just thought of my younger days and your family came to mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-65020545545558892002014-06-02T20:41:46.632-07:002014-06-02T20:41:46.632-07:00Thanks very much for this, and I am glad you enjoy...Thanks very much for this, and I am glad you enjoyed the piece.<br /><br />Warmly,<br />the nightchildthe nightchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988373964849228270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-42686177592478680102014-05-28T22:08:52.658-07:002014-05-28T22:08:52.658-07:00Good, simple writing.

I never got to meet him though, I was born in may 1993 so he passed away just one year before that. My dad claimed he hated him. But my mom loved him and always do talk good about him even today. She says he had a big great heart and just like you said in the text above, a good sense of humor and positivity. I never googled him before. But I did today. After watching the movie "Gia" about the model Gia Carangi who altos died of AIDS. <br />This text and his photos..he looks just like my dad, but he surtunly was the opposite. A good hearted man. <br />Thank you for charing such wonderful words about my favorite uncle.<br />Love and bless from Sweden Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-81058666974903046052013-08-06T01:34:59.264-07:002013-08-06T01:34:59.264-07:00Dear Bindu,

It has been a pleasure to write for India Currents which, in some ways, tries to steer away from the usual kind of celebratory reportage and opinion you rightly mention.

Thanks for reading and commenting - much...Hi, BTD,<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting - much appreciated. Yes, as you seek to point out through the article you posted, the pervasiveness of policing is often aimed at monitoring people of colour in the United States - 'social control' as the piece puts it.<br /><br />In response to your other comment, I would suggest that my criticism is more against the ongoing vilification of minorities, and it is the same stance I would have regardless of whether I was speaking of the States or India, for that matter. Both (and other 'democratic' nations) are just as guilty of state-sanctioned violence against the marginalised.<br /><br />Good wishes,<br />the nightchild<br />https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Nightchild-Nexus/268307139905234the nightchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988373964849228270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-19827848048280391382013-08-04T20:43:25.869-07:002013-08-04T20:43:25.869-07:00Wonderful piece, you might find this stattistic qu...Wonderful piece, you might find this stattistic quoted in the following article of interest:Cockburn,AlexanderandJeffreySt.Clair(2013)19-21July/www.counterpunch.org/2013/0http:/7/19/the-real-purpose-of-the-drug-war/ <br />It is refreshing to read a piecefrom somone from India that does not merely sing praises about America!BTDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164440153582844334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-72541438529806201902013-05-20T05:44:47.369-07:002013-05-20T05:44:47.369-07:00Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, An...Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, Anne.

What MacFarlane epitomized at this year's Oscars is the industry's unabashed white male privilege. The reiteration of the same through the "We Saw Your Boobs" song, and other allegedly comedic bits, denote the difficulty Hollywood has in coming to terms with the presence of women and people of colour. Where globalization has extended the market in some ways, issues of representation and multiculturalism continue to be at the fore.the nightchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988373964849228270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-26374191970745110202013-03-02T09:28:24.759-08:002013-03-02T09:28:24.759-08:00Excellent article...while Seth's humor works f...Excellent article...while Seth's humor works for his cartoon characters... its delivery on the Oscar stage kind of reeks...LeoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435724311126637678noreply@blogger.com
