The Lake

Wednesday Aug 17, 2011
Every monsoon the dry lake-bed becomes a lake again and as the river
nearby rises it turns into a sheet of water. What will happen to all
the stonework done by Maya's engineers. They seem to have not done
their homework. They forgot why the embankment came up in the first
place.

Sudhir Kr Roy posted in Save lucknow forum Sudhir Kr Roy 09 August 17:24 WHAT THE BRITISHERS DIDN'T SUCCEED IN DOING, WE ARE EXCELLING IN!! Sir Winston Churchill wrote 64 years ago about India : "Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in India." We are indeed an incredible NATION; we have worked very hard and we have indeed proved him right..... This quotation has bothered me from the time I first read it several years ago.

Henry Rodrigues

Mr Henry Rodrigues was a great human being. He left school end of 1969(?) to look after his mother who lived in Bangalore. The book he holds up in the pic Bright Renown, by old Martinian Satish Bhatnagar, indicates that he was alive in 1995. That's when the book was published. The caption with the pic received from Jumbo Roberts says c1990s. Jumbo has done a great job circulating Mart pictures, some really ancient.
It is said that Roddo, lived a very frugal existence towards the latter part of his life. Some old Martinians had, I am told, tried to help him but it's not known whether it was received by him.
