I have been over half my life in the US, but that has only improved all of the Indian languages I speak and have picked up others. So too long but sharper while I often hear a schmear of smarm as to the difficulties of being able to speak in say Konkani. Space and where I live, has not made me forget where my roots lie, and when you can no longer call those roots, one roots or lived aesthetics.
The reference to Japan I presume is intended to be tongue-in-cheek. OK. I am on my own there. But, one grain of info: I am the only one I know of Indian extraction who has a high rank in Shodo. Just saying that: this too has not make me forget anything from my years in India. But this is merely info, and not to get media. Hell no. Furthermore, I am aware of and engaged with English/British phrases, and that they have their denoted and connoted variances. My point was for Floriano and for him alone although said on a public forum; whereby in saying something other voices arise, reveal something or the other. One more fun fact: I probably have over 150 dictionaries in various languages, Now this is an opportunity if not to say, then at least to hold onto the thought:** What? Man, look how stupid he! Now everything in on the computer and he is telling us he has all these books!!! The point of course is otherwise. ** I know certain things and have a sense of thought as they conjure themselves in minds, being around various individuals, was helped, abused and manipulated by others; and shared many a thing with some of the most ruthless people one could know and run with. Best as always all. +++++++++++++ Venantius J Pinto On 2/11/14, Venantius J Pinto <venantius.pi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Horse if to mean me, responded.
