Dear H.
It's nice to hear from after such a long time. So your daughter Naveen recovered & everything is fine & all are in fine fettle. Please convey my regards to all.
So you weren't pleased at all with Malaysian civil servants who deprived you of the chance of giving better quality education to your son. If you are furious there is no other way than working all alone in fury itself. Says a famous novelist in his latest best seller : Life is a fury-sexual, Oedipal, political, magical brutal- drives us to our finest heights & coarsest depths. This is a what we are, what we civilize ourselves to disguise-the terrifying human animal in us, the exalted, transcendent, self destructive, untrammelled lord of creation. We raise each other to the heights of joy. We tear each other limb from bloody limb.
Don't get disheartened at the stepmotherly treatment from Malaysian beaurocrats. Southern Asia too is in the same league in this context among other things. Far East, that was far to the bloody British empire, yet not to the southern Asians, but closer than any other geographically as well as culturally. Speaking of getting closer, oh! yes Yemen Airways spread it's wings in the right directions. East & Far east. Air traffic , specially of holiday makers are bound to West to East rather than West to West across Atlantic following 11th September tragedy. Having taken the disastrous licking, the largest & the most vibrant economy of the world is bouncing back : productivity 5.2%, labour costs fall 2.7%. In the very words of Guardian of the Greenbacks, Mr. Greenspan
US economic expansion is well under way. Our major political & social differences not withstanding, if the land of bounty prosper, the after effects or rather direct effects will definitely turn around the world economy. Yet we are in an unpredictable world. Perhaps chaos again, Bush is already threatening
Iraq once again & his henchman Blair toe the line. We disagree. And agree with French Foreign Minister Hubert Verdine. The United States of America, he said acts "unilaterally, without consulting others, taking decisions based on its own view of the world & its own interests...refusing any multilateral negotiations that could limit their decision-making, sovereignty & freedom of action.
If the U.S. is really fighting a 'war against terrorism,' then the most suicide bombers are in Sri Lanka. This is not a war against terrorism. It is a war against America's enemies," said Karim Raslan, a young Malaysian lawyer and writer who is currently a Fulbright scholar in the U.S. Spokesman of the Embassy of United States, Colombo, referring to the 11th September tragedy told the newspaper Sunday Times of Colombo " We are fighting against terrorists who are not asking anything, they are not demanding anything, & not coming for negotiations, they want only to kill Americans. The Sunday times carried a front page cartoon of Tamil Tiger saying to Osama Bin Laden: Take my word, demand a separate state in the U. S. Then you can negotiate"
Didn't Embassy spokesman know whole Arab World & Bin Laden whom they accused of being the mastermind of 11thSep attack has been demanding Israel adhere to united Nations resolutions passed decades ago yet so far treated with utter contempt ? Forked tongue of the Anaconda.
