Apart from your style of writing which I deeply admire, this article gave me a peek into your growing up years, ’83 onwards, which I had missed, having gone at that point to Saudi Arabia. I got to know of the immense influence of your papa in your formation, and of your interest in translation, and how you eventually got into teaching, doing a translation of a different kind. The reflections n insights that you share are a delight to read.

I admire the Noronha clan who have obviously been painstakingly mentored by wise parents/angels, the formula should be adopted by all Goa’s twice blessed families. I lazily rationalize my love for English and no other languages with a scene from Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Javier introduces his father, an unpublished poet, who refuses to speak any other tongue than his native Spanish; For fear he pollute his poetic license. Notion or truth? Only time will tell! love the article, thank you for sending it
