Posted on behalf of Peter Stringer:
“Good morning Webmaster
I cannot help recall my earlier years after following through OC Ved Seereeram Spotlight – Life in Sugar.
In comparison on the opposite end of his Industrial scale – I was a young boy grew up in Lahore (Punjab in Imperial India).
Gunaah – Sugar cane – a cart would come round – on it was a large metal wheel that was hand propelled to drive a kind of rolling-press and sugarcane stems were passed through and the juice collected and poured into a glass for maybe a few Annas. It was quite common to flick out a fly leg or wing and then enjoy drinking the nectar!
Fond memories of the land of my birth.
Peter Stringer Lefroy 1943-47
