Dear Editor
Lets understand this profound preoccupation of ‘Professor Freddie Kissoon’ with Mr Vishnu Bisram’s conduct of polls for NACTA. Mr Kissoon has become so infatuated with whatever and whenever Mr Bisram goes public with his poll results that it has become comical.
I say, let us end the harbar (ruckus) over Mr Bisram’s NACTA polls once and for all. In a letter to SN of 24-11-12 titled “ I wrote letters to SN and KN on Bisram” he again goes into a dance. What the good Professor actually wants to know is how Mr. Bisram finances his polling and travelling expenses.
Freddie also wants to know how Mr.Bisram can hold down a fulltime teaching job and do so much traveling. By his unfamiliarity and doubts, Freddie is questioning the sincerity and accuracy of Bisram’s polls but not so much his methodology.
Actually I am aware that Bisram is a little petty bourgeois whose wife being fully empowered, saddles him with no or little domestic responsibilities. Working for a comfortable salary, he can “beam” himself like Star Trek captain, William Shatner, anywhere in the world even for one night and then return to base in New York to teach all over again.
His driver gives me juicy tidbits often complaining about the “modest” tips which he gets. Teaching in New York City has its ups and downs, but the holidays are great. Consider that a teacher gets five days off for Thanksgiving weekend. So Bisram is fully energized to “beam” off. We soon find him on his way to another country all over again.
There are many prominent people in Guyana, Trinidad and New York who can confirm Bisram is a teacher and he is quite financially capable of traveling so many times. May I ask Freddie, while I am on the subject of finance, to explain how he manages to pay for gasoline in his travel to Berbice and all over Guyana when he is not employed?
His contempt of countryside villagers whom he begrudges with their big concrete houses being built is remarkable.
This contempt, rather jealousy, which Freddie has for successful people, including Bisram’s NACTA’S polls, its financing and any other inquiries about methodology, can probably be solved if Freddie were to ask bhai Bisram to walk with him during his next polling.
