Our town newspaper is called ‘The Sudbury Town Crier’.
I’ll let you in on the following piece of news if you promise not to call me that at the end. 😊
Tanya Susan Koshy, daughter of friends and neighbors of forty years, has been appointed Deputy Attorney General for the State of California, the most populous state in the union, with some 40 million residents. She reports to Xavier Becerra, the man who replaced Kamala Harris.
Needless to say, this is very big news and I’m passing it on.
Her parents won’t do it.
Joy and Lucy, did not tell me this, I heard it from ‘other anonymous sources’. In fact, they didn’t do so, because Tanya wouldn’t allow it.
It’s like what our Nisha once said about an award she received, ‘mom! you’ll go around telling everybody’. Well, exactly.
If you feel like congratulating Lucy, the mother who set the course, her email is above. I hope she will speak to me after this.
In fact, this happened a while ago. I was trying to find some press release on it, and couldn’t locate any.
My liberal friends will be happy to note that Tanya has their backs.
Back when she was a student at the Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School, she once wrote a letter to the editor of the Boston Globe about some liberal cause, I forget what it was, and the Globe printed it. I had forwarded that letter at the time.
But as I always reiterate, in the end, everything comes down to that ‘one to one’ encounter one has and remembers.
Let me tell you a back story. There always is that, you know.
When she was young child of, say four or five, Tanya and her older sister Sonia were at hour house playing with our 3 daughters, and I was supposedly ‘baby-sitting’.
I was suffering from an acute case of, and what used to be frequent, headache, so I was taking a break from whatever it was I was doing, and lying down on the couch. (Just so you know, I’m known to do that even when I don’t have a headache). 😁
I was small-talking to Tanya along the way, she was the youngest of the 5 ‘Koshy girls’ in the house, she wanted to know why I was lying down. ‘Tanya, auntie has a headache. so auntie is lying down’, I explained.
She took note, I guess, and went about.
Hours later, as I was up and about, Tanya approached me again and enquired, ‘auntie, how is your headache’?
Pretty astounding for a 5-year-old, wouldn’t you agree?
Well, Tanya went on to graduate from L-S High School, Wellesley College, and UC Berkeley School Of Law.
Here’s wishing Tanya the best to become the first Indian American AG of the United States, even as it may not happen under the current administration. 😜
p.s. I would have included Tanya’s email if I had permission.
