Launched and growing…

The launch has been and uneventful affair. The day after was one of a little stress, when we noticed that site was down. Unfortunately our hosting provider in the US decided to upgrade their systems. And guess what… Yupp, Murphy was there (The Murphy who said “If anything can go wrong, it will; at the worst possible moment”)

Anyway we’re up and running and growing — a steady trickle and hoping it continues that way, i,e, a steady trickle rather than a huge rush and absolute silence. Am hoping the SHAANDAAR SHOW will draw some more attention to the site…

    More names keep popping in my head. There was Thomas Marshal, who I know became a really good commercial artist. Then there was Reggie, who I thought looked always very sleepy.

  • Holy Week

    ByDaril Atkins

    If there is anything about my life as a boarder that I will remember in vivid detail for the rest of my life, it will be the Holy Week. It is not because I have any pretensions about being religious, rather it was because of the great Good Friday ritual. Ever since I finished schooling,…

In Uplat, Talasari District, located about 150 Km North of Mumbai along the Western Express highway, families struggle to send their children to…

  • And you! Keep your mouth shut, you idiot!

    ByFrancis DSilva

    I picked this YT-video from a Facebook post (thanks Lee!), that is evidently choreographed to drive home an anti-bullying message. https://web.archive.org/web/20210622143014if_/http://www.youtube.com/embed/MhYyAa0VnyY A great show, however the message is not so evident from the dance alone. So I decided to mash-up this with an article written by Editor-in-chief Trine Eilertsen at Bergens Tidende. I believe there…

  • Six Decades

    ByDaril Atkins

     In another two years it will be six decades since I left St Stanislaus High School for good. As I stood with my box and bedding in the shed as we called that large space downstairs, I bid farewell to other boarders who passed by me.  In retrospect, I was both sad and glad. This…
