The Global Goan

 Dear Cyprian,

 

After a few hiccups which resulted in the delay, we are now pleased to announce the release of the March-April issue of our magazine, The Global Goan.  Here is the link to access the magazine:

I am eternally grateful to the myriad of writers who support this project, with their written work which I am sure, the readers will agree, is precious.  You will also notice that this is a bi-monthly issue this time.  The reason is that I will be in Goa in two days time, and I plan to enjoy my time there, meeting up with family and friends.

 

If your creative bug bites you, and you feel inspired to write something for the magazine, please feel welcome to send in your work.  If you need help, we can give that to you too, but please do not give up the thought of writing...

 

Do continue your good work of sharing our magazine link to all your contacts via email and social media too.  As you know, we do have a huge readership, but that is only due to your support and help by way of having forwarded our link in the past.  Looking forward to the same for this issue too.

 

Enjoy the holidays!!

 

With warm regards

 

THE GLOBAL GOAN

I MUST HAVE BEEN ABOUT SIX YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST MET JACK AT THE MOTORCYCLE RACES IN HIS RACING LEATHERS IN KENYA, MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS ‘THAT'S SUPERMAN A REAL LIFE SUPERMAN I WANT TO BE LIKE HIM!’ JACK WAS BORN IN THE SUDAN, THE SON OF ARMENIAN PARENTS - HIS FATHER AN ENGINEER, HIS MOTHER A SEAMSTRESS WHO WERE FORCED TO FLEE PERSECUTION IN THE 1930'S AND FLED OVERLAND AND BY SHIP TO EGYPT BEFORE MOVING ON THROUGH THE SUDAN AND ON TO KENYA WHERE JACK AND HIS 2 ELDER BROTHERS GREW UP. JACK WAS A TRUE GENTLEMAN, GENEROUS, HUMBLE , A LITTLE ECCENTRIC AT TIMES AND ALWAYS AUTHENTIC. I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE FOUND THE AMOUNT OF PATIENCE HE HAD, IN ANY SITUATION I HAVE NEVER EVER HEARD HIM RAISE HIS VOICE! JUST RECENTLY I WILL ALWA...
