The new manager at my condo has a Bengali father (from Calcutta) and a Singapore Chinese mother, his parents met in the 1970s while studying in England, but got divorced when he was young. He stayed with his father in Calcutta, his younger sister came with his mother to Singapore. He was in boarding school in India, and subsequently worked there. His father had a stroke recently, so he and his sister arranged for his father to be brought to Singapore.
He was speaking to me last week. He is very excited by India's progress in hockey. He's not into cricket which is a relief. Anyway, India are now through to the men's semi-finals at the Olympics. Quite interesting, I hadn't realised that Belgium are current World and European Champions in hockey until I looked it. I really have lost touch! Looks like Belgium's progress in football has been outdone (but not overshadowed!) by its achievements in hockey. Interesting semi-final line up today - India v Belgium and Australia v Germany.
