Long before

I was all of six years old, when I protested against something for the first time. My school teacher had deducted one mark for a perceived error. It was not really an error, so I fought back and got that one mark reinstated on my scoresheet. I had raised unreasonable demands in the past, like … Continue reading Long before

Is ‘hello” enough for you these days?  More than enough …  I prefer that people come to the point directly.
