I never shared my political experiences in Guyana with my children. The issue of race was also never brought up. The only thing that they know about Guyana is that it is very hot and it has lots of mosquitoes.
You mean they don't know about cumma-cumma, hassa, yawari, labba, genip, grass louse and Cuffy? Then certainly they are alien to Guyana. 
Actually, my older son who is 20 and born here is interested in Guyana..he even tries to speak broken sometimes...the younger one does not understand broken english

These are your absolute best statements in GNI Political. If I could have afforded, I would have framed them.
Most kids will not be interested in their parents heritage until they have reached middle age. I know myself was never too keen on knowing about my heritage until many years later as i got older. Then I learnt that my great grandparents from my father side came from India and i learnt other stuff. At one time i had in my possession in Guyana his ship papers and I misplaced it. As i got older i learnt through both my mother and my father about their grandparents and other history. Even today. As my mother did when she was alive my father now takes great pride in telling me the old stories

My children do not even speak one word of broken english.
Unless GNI transforms into something else, it will die a slow death by the time I turn 70 which is 20 years from now. That's why it is important that we keep the political slugfest going.
Patently false. Your children will speak the local vernacular which would be english at the core but with a substructure from the community. Every group maintains two languages; a formal one for the market place and an informal one local to the community that is the lingua franca of for general communications. Perfect english is the forma language and only exists in academic prose or news reading etc. No one edits local jargon since the rules are loose. One can edit english since its rules are defined.
My son asked me yesterday if I was putting on my pampy. I replied that this is daddy's bukta. Which, to my delight and his mother's horror, he immediately repeated.

I now fear that time is running away too fast for me to catch up. There are many things that I wish to do but have not been able to do.
As I was telling my children the other day, I said my generation is fortunate to have experience life not only in Guyana, but at a time when there were not any modern things for us to enjoy.
My children will never be able to express what life was like without television, running around barefoot, flying kites by the seawall, milking a cow, chasing after chickens, ducks and many many other things.
They just laughed.
So for you guys, this is our last link with our fellow Guyanese, some of us may have grown up in the same village, attended the same school etc, Enjoy it folks. Time is not on ourside.
Dude, flying kite/ milking cows was because we had to settle for the mundane rather than for example, a visit to Disneyland or a hike in a national park. I milked some 20 cows daily before going to school and it was no wonderful enterprise. Some were mean with wicked personalities and the mosquitoes were ever present.
Our kids are not us. They are different. They have a reality to explore we would not dream of. The little things that excited us and made us curious are passÃĐ to them. We were excited about books and lived in them. These kids live on their computers and smart phones.
I literally had to sit my kid down at 16 and put my foot down to emphasize that he must learn to write cursive and well. That was almost a whole summer of him being grumpy and unhappy but it is something I think was necessary. Out time is come and gone. If we did well we passed on the seminal things; to be honest. to do your best, to never give up and to be true to ones self in all things.

I help fund a Pakistani Urdu class every year. I am trying to get these kids to attend but they are just not interested. Hopefully they will be interested in GN&I in the future

I have been here long enough to know that many of you have "reserve" handles. Especially those of you who recently started working as ghost writers for the PNC.

Or for use when they make a sudden switch to that other political party. Soup drinkers are the worse kind.

You know what is interesting. NONE of those who she screams are PNC soup drinkers are uncritical supporters of that party. At some point ALL have levelled criticism towards the PNC and/or APNU/AFC.
Yet Bibi, who is a press release outlet for her hero Bharat Jagdeo, is brazen enough to call others a soup licker. I challenge Bibi to furnish evidence that she has EVER levelled criticisms about Jagdeo.
Bini should be honest. What angers her isn't that django and other Indians occasionally are supportive of the APNU/AFC. Its her rage that these Indians think that they have a right not to be kept as PPP slaves, rushing to serve every need of Jagdeo. How dare these Indians think for themselves. How dare do these Indians agree with non Indians when they see fit.
THAT is her angst!

To be fair, Bibi criticized Jagdeo for marrying Varshnie.

Only jealousy. Since Jagdeo dumped Varshnie she resumed being his PR. Bibi is like Kellyanne Conway. Embarrassing herself daily by repeating Jagdeo's fake news.
