TRIBUTE TO MRS. MASTER (MUMMY)

TRIBUTE TO MRS. MASTER (MUMMY) Dedicated to Gaurang and Haren, her two sons and her daughter-in-law, Gita I had planned to write this tribute on the 100th anniversary of Mrs. Master’s birth (always Mummy to me) but was told by her two sons I was two years too late.

WSJ Letter on Climate Change

‘I’m Not a Scientist’ — Is That a Firing Offense? https://www.wsj.com/articles/malpass-not-a-scientist-climate-change-denier-gore-kerry-world-bank-11664485974 Letters to the Editor October 1, 2022 John Kerry, Al Gore and the New York Times wrap them­selves in a toga of moral­ity for their po­si­tion on cli­mate change. They ought to visit In­dia or Africa or South Amer­ica to see the naked truth — what the lack of af­ford­able en­ergy does to the lives of the poor. I’m glad that Mr. Mal­pass isn’t buy­ing their arguments.

Letter to Singapore’s Straits Times

What’s the matter with Singapore? I have been visiting Singapore every year to lecture for the past twenty years. I love the place. Why? it’s “Green, Clean and Safe”. This year I find the place absolutely stifling. Reminds me of the city in George Orwell’s novel “1984.” Its “Trace Together” policy captures every movement of mine. No doubt its intentions are worthy but for God’s sake Covid is not the plague. Treating it as if it is one has dire consequences. It is killing Singapore’s economy. In America where I come from it is “Live and Let Live,” In Singapore it apparently is “Live and Let Die.” I want to live. End these mandates! Open up the economy! NOW!
