And so my brothers sisters all went to Catholic schools and frankly they did a good job with us , they broadened our heads in such a way that even the skull cap does not fit us now ,, they made us human and they never ever made us feel we were Muslims ,, Their spirituality did rub off on us but than..it did not make us a bogot or a hate monger .. My sisters brothers have all done well for themselves .. my sisters speak much better English than me , better diction and great command over their treasury of words ..though I read more classic literature .. Both my sons daughters and now all 3 granddaughters are in a Catholic school ,,,and I think my granddaughters shock me .. the 3 year one tells me Grandpa you are Impossible ,, and than I realize all that comes from their I Pads and they wear headscarves hijabs and are as modern as you are ..
I mean no Muslim rich man ever thought of giving the Muslims in Bandra a Fr Agnel kind of vocational school where they could learn a profession or a skill ,, there would be less murder , rape sodomy and robbery , and there would be lesser kids joining the ISIS to kill rape enslave persecute Shias , Hazras , Ahmediyas , Armenian Christians , Coptic Christians and the Kurds ..
So in a way I am happy my parents had foresight never to send me my siblings to a Muslim Madrsa ..and my granddaughters learnt the Koran and Arabic tutored by lady teachers at the Shia Mosque in Bandra ,,
I think looking back now 62 years old I havent done too bad for myself.. my photography is non commercial to awaken and educate ,,
And friends Like Clarence Gomes , Merck D'Silva Darryl Luke Loyola Fabian Namory and so many others added to the glow of life ,, Thank you All.
My childhood friend is a Dennis Fernandes in Suriname ,,a Holy Namite like me
