	Life & Leisure
		I was not one of Dom Moraes’ circle of intimates; the few encounters I had with the poet (the writer, the columnist, the reporter, even the cheerful, committed drinker: all these stemmed from this primary version of his self) happened in the evening of his life, after he’d crossed 60.
		I never met the Dom Moraes who grappled with his mother’s importunate demons, who struggled with the formidable shadow cast by his father, the legendary Frank Moraes, who told his wife, Henrietta, that he was just going out to buy cigarettes and walked out of the house and the marriage.
		Dom Moraes passed it on, whatever it was that he had: sometimes it was kindness, sometimes stories, sometimes just a drink, sometimes his ability to remember uncomfortable things, sometimes the promise that other poets would come along who would share his gift, and shape it.

		Dom celebrates his togetherness with his beloved in The Third Truth: Now you have taken time off to reflect/ upon my structural defects, restore/ or redesign me, dearest architect./ Since we are halves of the same entity,/ your line will never falter when you draw./ I find myself in you, and you in me.

		DOM MORAES: UNCONCERN IN GOA TOWARDS ITS EMINENT SONS By Joseph Zuzarte jzuzarte@rediffmail.com The generally unmourned death of Dom Moraes recently one again highlights the unconcern in Goa towards eminent sons of the soil who shine in other lands.
		Dom was born in Mumbai, where his father Frank Moraes was the editor of Indian Express, one of the big editors of post-British India, around the time of India~Rs Independence.
		Dom had this habit of whispering, instead of talking (probably because of some internal damage), so he was basically mumbling into the microphone and the few people assembled could barely hear a thing.

	[minstrels] Absences -- Dom Moraes
		When I read his memoir 'My son's father' in college I was mighty impressed with the range of his associations (was it the intended effect?) and the sheer quality of his prose.
		Moraes has been in the news for several reasons - his books of prose, controversy with co-author Sarayu Srivatsa, biography, anthologies, his marriages - but I suspect most people think of him as a poet who stretched beyond his genre.
		I feel a tremendous pride in it still, not because of its quality, but because it was the precursor of a great deal of new poetry in the years to come, a John the Baptist.

		Moraes and Srivatsa travel to Coryate’s village in Somerset, retrace his footsteps in the heart of the Mughal empire and, in what is probably the best part of the book, look up his final resting place in southern Gujarat, many thousand miles and notional lightyears away from home.
		Moraes and Srivatsa meet odd characters in Odcombe, the one-pub village that Coryate walked out on.
