Maxwell Pereira - Memorablia

i) I'm afraid I was quite an insignificant small little guy in school, not special to be remembered uniquely, or worthy of attention… as perhaps Victor Currie or some other illustrious/ or "notorious for various reasons" ones in our group! Especially after my parents left Mangalore for better climes of the estates in the hills and Bangalore, and my brother Manohar and I were forced to join the College Boarding House and earn the sobriquet as "boardingache dukor", all existing inter-family social interactions had also died down in consequence; all adding up to making me I suppose a not-so-sought-after companion.
ii) I am ashamed now to confess, perhaps as a result of the background explained, that after finishing school I have not been in touch (more so in the recent decades) with 99% of my classmates - and even more ashamed that I could not remember more than half the names till the group photograph with the row-wise list of names came to my aid. Even then, memory has defied recognition of many, and I do not recall faces to fit names to, as I would like to. A few among the lot of classmates I have had a casual meeting or two, and maybe more with ones like Victor Currie, Harry, Canute etc.
iii) Hence do pardon me for attempting (as in the attachment to my email of even date) to record what I could remember or not remember about each (as mentioned in my previous Blog entry. Those of you whom I have failed to remember adequately please forgive me, and do help me recall. I will be grateful for whatever aide de memoir you could provide - in the form of unforgettable events & episodes or anecdotes, whatever..... Thanks.
iv) If memory has failed me, I do expect similar difficulty for many of you in remembering the inconsequential tiny me too. I have no great memorablia to come to my classmates’ aid other than to remind those who were with me in the middle school that my house “Sukh Sagar” was right across the school gates (across the sand-pit to be precise) where to, many would carry their mid-day meal tiffin boxes... for us all to eat our lunch together at my mother’s table.
v) Regarding later life the internet would provide some info, and those interested may access my personal website at http://www.maxwellpereira.com/ for more.
My family and I were blessed with an audience with Pope Joh Paul-II during his 1986 visit to India, when I had thr honour of being the Pope's personal bodyguard

vi) It would be wonderful to receive similar self-profile from each of you, even if it is just a paragraph. You could also click and access into the particular Blog entry with your name in the title of the post and post a comment detailing information on you.
vii) Similarly you can post your comment on the Blog entry of any other of our classmates - to record what you remember about that particular classmate, anecdote, episode, interaction or encounter... as you may perhaps remember..
This way we can have a vibrant platform for mutual interaction - for posting of photographs, exchange of memorablia etc etc. The sky is the limit
