This essay, first offered as a causerie, sets out to explore some of the questions proposed by the idea of a “Commonwealth” conference in the context of a “post”colonial, “postmodern” milieu characterized by immense historical and tectonic shifts in the idea of society. The essay probes at the foundations of the crumbling edifice that is the “post” in postcolonial, built, as it is, over the ruins of unrequited memories. The work is a small tapestry put together from actual, imagined, personal and historical examples. Its purpose is to make deeper sense of the present time and place, including that of “post”colonial Commonwealth beingness
