The Tropical Lightness of Being

sarko

One joy of living in the tropics is the emptiness of the wardrobe. Currently I have three shirts, three pairs of trousers and a hat. This pleasing lightness extends, in fact, to the whole flat, which contains the strict minimum. No pictures, no knick-knacks, no television. As a result, no round the clock updates about suicidal pilots or cabinet reshuffles. And most pleasing of all, no irritating intrusion of gloating, smirking politicians.

  1. You seem to follow in the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi who believed in simple living and high thinking – sure to yield great dividends on low investment.

    As for the politicians, trying to get rid of them is a pipedream; they will always be there in some form or the other, drooling and increasing their political incompetence much to the chagrin of the electorate – the only solution: grin and bear it!
