I remembered his early morning radio program. Hindi songs to wake up by. In the days of affordable Philips radio, Indian women listened to his chosen songs while they prepared the meals for the men off to work on the sugar plantations and children off to schools. Quiet days with striving for the future.

The Philistines have taken the city and country's airwaves.
