Dear Editor,
MY Guyana is a beautiful spread of greenery. It pulsates and emits a watery sunshine aura of a mix of seven awesome races of people.
My Guyana appeals to my senses with her delicious spices and delicacies, filled with the aromas of the memories of recipes passed down from generation to generation of family sweat in small loving cozy kitchens.
My Guyana is a peaceful place of catchy music and waistline-swaying tunes. There is friction, yes, but show me where in this vast world is there not any friction? After all, perfection does not exist, so, obviously my Guyana is not exempt from her share of ups and downs.
My Guyana is a place of peaceful breezy winds and comforting rains on the rooftops at nights, lulling me to sleep in times both good and bad, happy and sad. Her days and nights both give way to sweet dreams of the young and the old.
My Guyana may not have the hugeness and variety of the First World, but her smallness and vastness comforts in more ways than one.
My Guyana is a picturesque place filled with beautiful warm memories of care and love.
My Guyana is a mountain of intelligence, set apart by her uniqueness of brilliantness and strength. She is the Queen of the Caribbean and the Emerald of South America.
In this difficult life and world today, we are given many choices. We can run, or we can stay. We can fight, or we can give up. There is so much available to us through the media and the Internet. Life has become easy for some, yet still hard for others.
Technology has made this world a small interactive space, and when things get hard we may want to run to other places in this very available world. However, please remember that this Guyana, my Guyana, will forever also be your Guyana.
Yours truly,
Tanuja Singh
