Heard the sad news that Dunstan Dubier (Perambur, India) had passed away this morning. I had the privilege of knowing him for a few years as a neighbour. There was always a joke and a smile on his face. The biggest joke on us, as young boys was during a night of carol singing he put a big envelope in out collection box – only for us to find a small thank you note.
Our prayers are with his family and friends.

First of all, I would like to thank each of you that have donated money, time or any other service towards the Ayanavaram Branch’s Christmas Treat. I was fortunate to be there this year. I got to see all that this small group of committed people do – every year. I wish all of you could have been there to see the smiles on the kids faces, and the adults. Here are some pictures from the 2010 All India Anglo-Indian Association, Ayanavaram Branch’s Christmas Treat.
I was thrilled to visit Madras, India after a long time – to see family, show off the kids, and meet friends. I was especially glad I was able to visit St. Joseph’s Anglo Indian School on “Main Road”. I have fond memories of this school. The first six years, from lower kindergarten to 4th standard, of my academic life was spent here. Walked from home with friends, kicked stones, rode bullock carts and even got chased by cows – lifelong friendships were forged. Everyone knew everyone else. My teachers were my parents’ friends and had taught my sisters. My neighbours were my classmates and my classmates in were with me up to college – and from what I hear, some are even in Atlanta (where I live)! Continue reading “A trip down memory lane.” »
Pepperwater.com lives to tell the stories of Anglo-Indians – and what a great opportunity to tell you the story of what three guys from Bangalore are doing. David Bower, his son Mark Bower and Leon Leahy have invested 5 years into working hard to develop one of Bangalore’s finest football fields. What was once a dump yard is now graced with beautiful paintings and provides a world class field to Anglo-Indians. It is not uncommon to also see a bunch of international teams from Korea to Europe playing on this field.

Education is vital to our youngsters and educational assistance will be provided to the under-privileged students. and so much more.

I was 19 when I began to study for my Hons degree at St. Xaviers College and found that I had a ‘study mate’, an external student, doing a B.Ed(Hons) degree. She was 40. As a full time kindy teacher she was unable to attend lectures. I was given the job to ‘lecturer’ her in the evenings. We spent most evenings in the front verandah going through my copious hand written notes (oh, for a laptop!). Three years later we both graduated. That lady was Phyllis Pearson…my mum.

My mum Daisy Margaret Assey (nee Mason) was born in Madras/Chennai – India on the 18th of August 1921. She was one of seven children and she was the only girl amongst 6 boys. She was baptised at St. Matthias Church, Vepery, Madras.
After her schooling she joined the British Army where she did her Nurses Training which turned out to be one of her greatest joys and passion which she carried out diligently long after she left the profession. It was in her blood.

I recently received an email from a friend back in India where he shared with me his vision for helping Anglo-Indians. Needless to say, PepperWater at it’s core is all about giving back to the Anglo-Indian community and helping Anglo-Indians. This story got my attention and PepperWater had to do an interview with Calvin Dee and Steve Periera – the two guys who refuse to call themselves “the founders” because the term has no heart. They are simply to guys who saw a need in the community and decided to do something about it.
