      Thank you, Doc. I am glad that you were entertained. Green as a synonym for envy which is a cardinal sin, should be amended.Turquoise blue and green and golden yellow are my favourite colours.

      Thanks to you, Col, for having given an opportunity. In fact, you should take the credit for the theme for having preserved the grid from Sept when I had sent this to you, until Diwali, making it topical and opportune. I am happy for it. I am an ardent green warrior and also follow my principle as much as I can. The late Dr. Wangari Maathai from Kenya had inspired me, as she was a fierce defendant of Nature and was honoured witha Nabel Prize too , Her memorable protest with other adherents , mainly females, in Uhuru Park is a testimony to her zeal and many who threatened to strip naked, were beaten up by the police ! The Government had to acquiesce and give up the plans to erect a sky-scraper in the Park which serves as the lungs for Nairobi city centre. I had the honour of knowing her personally.
