Hello, Mark!

How is the married life, my friend? Please give my regards to Mrs. Cookstar and to your lovely children. You know that you are always welcome to visit this side with your family. it will be great to see you all, man.

Did I tell you that Sparrow's museum got burnt down a couple of years ago??? it is being reconstructed, but a number of invaluable artefacts have been burnt to ashes, like Indian cremation. How sad. He is okay, though. He is hard, he can take it.

Is that due to the little pressie I left him?

So so sad about the fire, how did it happen, that was a truly awesome place.

Married life is great, ask me again in a few years though.

I lately saw an Instrumental music performance. One of the international fame musicians from West Africa played Kora in it. It was a fusion performance with African and Spanish music. Needless to say that Kora won everyone's heart all the way. 99% of the audience was British born, white, original British and Welsh people. The review said that 100% of the audience wanted to hear Kora artist above all other artists.

Duncs, feel free to talk when you plan to go to India. I may give you and your GF some tips to survive

Thanks for that Swati , will do

We got a bit of rhumba a couple of nights ago when we saw Hugh Maskela , he spent time west africa as well found out later . ......paired with Mahotella queens ( We spent a couple weeks last year with colleagues of Judys near Soweto )

LOL I dunno about that sort of "hard"!
Mind you, he did say that he wanted some more of "that", of you. By then, you had become increasingly busy with your love life, so I didn't want to pester you to serve our needy friend. Good to hear that you are happy, and the family is well

Well, he was running the rehabilitation thingy,remember? One person under rehab turned against him, and caused arson attack. Sparrow was in London, attending his businesses, then. No injuries or fatalities, as it happened at night time, and no one was in the building. But, yes, I so miss John Lennon's son's punchball, so do I miss all those Elvis and Munroe related stuff The wicked firestarter is in jail now, so that is a relief.

LOL it will be all cool, man. Hope you have done Goa with the missus.

as somebody who travels back and forth from India on many occasions you cannot judge a country by one location.

Yes we have a lot to learn and yes there are some things that need putting right but in a country of 20-odd states, speaking more than 75+ languages - there is a hell of a lot right that is happening.

The story is full of several incorrect statements and I think you'll find some of it is the writings of a chinese guy showing the world that china is better than india?

I come from the northern state called Punjab - the breadbasket of India as it's called. Whilst it is still dirty in some parts it is vastly different. You'll also see states such as Kerala etc that again are very different!! India was the golden bird for the british and as a result was robbed of it's wealth - now India is growing so fast to play catch-up that its forgetting some of the values that made it great.

I am proud of my 'motherland' but am not too proud to admit that things need to change. But don't forget that there is still a lot we can teach others too: family, hard-work, will and determination to name a few!
