The coloured photograph was taken a few days back outside Mumbai Airport. She was here along with her son Borg for a few days... and I could just manage to catch up with her for an hour or so. She is still the same... So caring and affectionate.
And of course, look at the pictures once again... How time flies...!
I must thank Louis who put in the efforts to locate Ms.Brenda... It took him almost half a day (which included taking inputs from the local post office) to finally zero upon Ms.Brenda's residence in Kerala from where he obtained her current contact details.
Can you see any similarity in both the photos? No! She has kept her hand on your shoulders in both the photos!

ReplyDeleteThe first is a case of Pedagogy !
ReplyDeleteSecond is Demagogy ! Unification
No doubt a great moment. Also shows how documentation can help bridging decades and decades of memories.
ReplyDeleteIs she - Pritibala ?
ReplyDeleteAruna has aptly observed the similarity " The first one is -" Yes I am there for you my boy " , the second displays " I am proud of you Vimal " .
Vimal - It's worth a lifetime to get an opportunity like this. It was like working for a Hitchcock film , taking directions from Vimal, from the local vendors,local post office and finally a young boy with a glowing face comes up to me and asks me " are you looking for - he mentioned their house name -Mary...... I said yes. He said follow me , and as I got down from the car, knocked at the gate and checked - yes it was the house . I turned back to thank the young handsome boy , he just vanished - dunno where .
It was a wonderful experience .
Looks like both student and teacher have outgrown their round spectacles(reverse osmosis?).
ReplyDeleteGood contacts help!:)
A teacher-student relationship is forever.
Vimal,
ReplyDeleteThou art relentless!
Hey, Ms Mabel kidhar che (my attempt at Gujurati)?
You are lucky to have captured these precious moments with teachers like Miss Brenda. She was one of my favourites.
