Why Pedro was popular?
Words of wisdom and Smile with Pedro were popular on Facebook and other social media. In fact, Pedro was keenly followed and generated a lot of interest, so few friends and some readers were keen to know more about Pedro. Most guesses were that he is a smart old man from Goa, sitting on an easy chair on the verandah in his cottage, facing the sea, and getting great ideas! Possibly, the name must have led them to think so. Yes and no, he is universal.
Pedro, the friend of all seasons! Many friends have inquired and wish to know more about Pedro. Every few months, someone or another asks and wishes to know about Pedro. Pedro is a simple, God-fearing man who is young at heart. He loves his family, community, and festivals, and lives amidst nature. He also loves his daily evening peg. He is fun-loving and loves his land and country. He is also wise and likes to share his experiences through his "Words of Wisdom" and "Smile with Pedro." He is a good friend of mine and has conveyed his good wishes to you all. And on a serious note, he is a metaphor!
Pedro is appreciated by many regular readers. And I have been asked by quite a few readers about Pedro. Where does he get his humor and words of wisdom? And my reply to that is: For a writer, the older he gets, there are more people, experiences, and more memories to write about. So, one doesn’t run short of subject matter. But maybe, as I have grown over the years, my emphasis or focus has been more on wisdom and the funny side of life. And Pedro expresses that through: Smile with Pedro and Pedro’s words of wisdom!
Here we reproduce a few of his gems, which were posted under Words of Wisdom and Smile with Pedro. I am sure the blog readers will love it. If you wish to comment or say something, do write in the comment section. It will inspire him to do more.

The Romance of Writing
Writing may be old-fashion, but it has its own charm. Many famous writers still prefer to write the first draft by hand. People who still prefer to write by hand realize the romanticity of writing.
From typewriter to desktop to laptop to notebook, the good old days of writing by hand are just a memory. The romance of writing is gone. Years after typing on the pretty Remington, Halda, Godrej Prima regular, and later Remington, Olivetti Olympia portable, and then years later came the desk top, and after a few years arrived the laptop; I find I can hardly write by hand. My writing has gone from bad to worse. With the introduction of ATM cards, even writing self-cheques seems stone-age! The neat and cute writing has gone for a toss, and now I scribble like a doctor's prescription note, though I still love to write the first draft of my writing or article by hand. I may sound old-fashioned. And then technology takes over in the form of laptops with neatly formatted text.
Apart from this, most writers relied on the Oxford or Webster Dictionary. And even this has been replaced by the know-all Google, which, at times, tends to re-educate you. Even kids refuse to touch the good old, bulky dictionary and trust Google. Earlier one had to just have paper and pen to express one’s thoughts or ideas. It gave a sense of achievement. Then came the typewriter, often messing your fingers with the black ribbon ink, trying to set it right, with strokes and markings on the face as a camouflaged commando on a mission. Even the pretty young secretaries were done away, with no distraction to the bosses!
Then years later, the new age of technology arrived in the form of a desktop PC, for short, with the CPU unit, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It was a bit confusing for the uninitiated, but much faster and smarter. As one is about to get hold of the working of this gadget, lappy, the laptop made a grand appearance. Like the old portable typewriter, it is small and a compact unit, encompassing the CPU, screen, keyboard, and mouse. And the beauty is that the sleek device can be easily carried around. You can play games or listen to music while sitting on your table or traveling. Now we have the tablets, which double up as laptops too.
No doubt the technological inventions have brought in progress and change with the internet and email messaging; but the present generation will truly miss the romance of writing, and also the art of expressing in letters one's feelings of love, happiness, anger, and sadness. The gadgets have made things easy and fast, but writing by hand is different. The romance has gone forever. The postcards, inland letters, aerograms, and money orders are things of the past. The younger generation may laugh at us!
