Taming the taboo
You will be pleasantly surprised to learn that our august National Assembly has, after slightly less than eternity, decided to unearth a 175-year old piece of dusty legislation tending to proscribe abortion in Mauritius, at the same time giving a golden opportunity to backstreet charlatans in the trade to see their business flourishing all of a sudden.

For a fistful of dollars
My dear Billy,
What can people do for money? Or rather, what can’t people do for money? Naturally, it is an individual choice, often depending upon what it is that one is called upon to do in order to get money. But judging from the current trend, you will come to the inevitable conclusion that people will go to any length, stopping before nothing, in order to make money and more of it.

A burning desire to serve ?
My dear Billy,
In a radio talk show the other day, Mohamad Vayid very rightly pointed out that it would be extremely wrong to cover a person like Sir Anerood Jugnauth, the ex-President of our Republic, with insults and injuries. He almost appealed to the latter’s opponents of the day to spare him the ignominy and infamy which they usually heap on their adversaries.

Inventing a work culture
My dear Billy,
The adage “If you don’t work you don’t eat,” has long become a platitude without much substance. There are so many people today who don’t work, yet they do not only eat abundantly, they also enjoy so many other luxuries and comforts of life.

On becoming a person
My dear Billy,
Very often in our lives we confront ourselves with the question, “Who am I?” Yes, who are we? Are we the same person today that we were ten years ago, or last year, or yesterday? In a way, we are; but in several ways we are not. How do we become the person that we are?

Whither the reading culture?
My dear Billy,
All our Ministries are buzzing with activity in a frenzy of search for inputs for the Presidential speech to be delivered when Parliament resumes in a couple of weeks. I would like to take this opportunity to add my little voice to this cacophony and make a plea for the promotion of reading and writing in this country, albeit in the full knowledge that this may well be a resounding cry in the Sahara.

Turbulence
My dear Billy,
If the title above may, for a split second, have misled you into believing that what follows will be in reference to the current storm blowing over the local political scene, you would be grossly mistaken, and the fault would be all mine.

Thoughts on independence
As you know, my country celebrated the 44th anniversary of its independence this week, and as usual, much pomp and glory was exhibited by the authorities to mark the occasion. I believe this is quite necessary because, while we rejoice at the blessing of having achieved independence, it is also necessary that we take stock of the struggles and sacrifices of our forebears, which have led to this happy occasion.

Celebrating Dickens
Two years after the British landed in Mauritius and took possession of the island, Charles Dickens landed in Portsmouth England, on 7 February 1812. Little could his mother suspect that she was giving birth to one of her country’s brightest literary geniuses of all time. The world is today celebrating the 200th birthday of the great writer, except Mauritius.But then, Mauritius is not in the world, and Mauritians are a race apart.

Losers and winners
My dear Billy,
As you know, my little paradise in the sun is going to be 44 years independent in about a week’s time, on the 12th March, if you care for precision. At noon exactly. On that fatefully fortunate day 44 years ago, we gave back their flag to the British, and the Father of the Nation, Sir Seewosagur Ramgoolam, hoisted the brand new Mauritian flag for the first time.
