I’ll take a brief moment to introduce myself: I am a restless soul hungry for thought-provoking conversation. Thanks to the power of social media, my hunger is lavishly fed by the freedom now given to the average man to voice his opinions. Trending topics bring not only hilarity and entertainment to our daily lives, but shine a light on the darkness that blinded many from the wrongdoings that persons of power often got away with in times past. So what’s trending, you ask?
Well, speaking of lavishly fed, people are busy talking about all the drama with the GGMC boss. Who eats $4 million worth in 18 months? Whatever happened to the good ol’ Guyanese custom of eating home? Clearly, he’s a modern (hungry) man, who chose to utilise every chance given to him to scour the menus of the poshest eateries in town. But overeating is not his only problem. There’s a whole host of alleged debauchery within the GGMC being unveiled that people are demanding answers for. Some want the relevant minister to weigh in on all the craziness occurring from within and some want the commissioner fired. But Ajay feels he should be left alone- as anyone who cuts up the runnings of a PPP appointed board should be, he says. Time is ticking, people are cursing and we’re all waiting for this to blow up. We’ve gotten advisories that there’s no need to panic in spite of increased police patrol in the streets. Let’s all face it; crime has been an increasing pain in our rear these last few months, so why not allow the boys in camouflage and black and blue Drag the Net down on bad guys this season?
SLAPS
Don’t you just love when irony slaps you right in the face? PPP’s ‘cyber bully’ Nigel Dharamlall brazenly stood up to fight against violence. I hope his message strikes a chord with his beloved party.

On another note, folks are pondering about when Venezuela will leave us alone. I chuckled at the reports of a Venezuelan Military aircraft “mistakenly” landing in Guyana, thinking that they were in the Venezuelan village of San Juan. Apart from the fact that the three such villages all being located far inland and nowhere near the Guyana/Venezuela border, I find it utterly convenient that these men of military status would forget where their own country ended and where ours began. Moreover, without intricate aeronautical knowledge, I think it’s still safe to assume that these soldiers would be equipped with some type of high tech navigation device in their aircraft, unless, the Venezuelan aircraft themselves are also confused about borders? We need answers Venezuela!
Finally, let’s send out a hip hip hoorah in the name of Chronicle’s Comeback. Looks like the publication is finally returning to the glory it once held…new masthead and stuff. Copping top prizes at the PAHO Awards. Call me optimistic but, with its certain rebranding, I see brighter things in its not-too-distant future!
Hip! Hip! hooray
