The colour of the leaves with the winter approaching is simply amazing
Different Coloured Leaves Everywhere
The French were the first settlers in Canada and the Natives introduced the place as KANATA which over the years came to be known as CANADA .
It is entwined in the path of two rivers Ottawa and the Rideau river. The Rideau river makes a magnificent waterfall like drop and merges with the much larger Ottawa river .
All this is right in front of the Canadian Prime Minister s Residence . There are no fancy or elaborate security decoy of any kind and The Machine Gun wielding Police are conspicuous by their absence .
The conducted tour of the Governor General of Canada s Palace is very informative . The Titular Head of Canada is still Queen Elizabeth 2 of England and the GG of Canada is Her Representative . Till 1952 it still had an Englishman in that post . It is now a prominent Canadian Citizen who occupies the seat .
The provinces of Ontario and Quebec form on either side of the Ottawa River . The Ontario side is English and the Quebec side is French .
This is a very Beutiful place to visit with many historical connections .
The well maintained roads , parks and Garden with the leaves in many different colours are most soothing to the eye .
A GOLU WHICH IS NO LESS THAN A DIVINE ART EXHIBITION We were at Ajax in Canada on Sunday the 28 th of September 2025 . It was a special day for two reasons . I have always been a Cricket Buff and try to watch all India related matches wherever and in whichever time zone they are played in . It was the day of the much touted Title Clash and the Finals Of THE ASIA CUP CRICKET MATCH between India and Pakistan which was being played at The Dubai International Stadium . The Match was Scheduled to start at 10.30 am Toronto Local time . There was plenty of On Field and Off Field drama and acrimony by the Pakis during their previous two league stage Matches which were won by India handsomely and by a huge margin at that . Both were labelled as one sided encounters by the Pundi...
IT IS BY FAR THE CHEAPEST HERE AS ALL YOU FRIENDS MAY BE AWARE , BY A GOOD FORTUNE OF THE GRACE OF THE GOOD LORD ABOVE , I HAVE TRAVELLED FAR AND WIDE ACROSS THE GLOBE AND HAVE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL BY TRAIN IN MANY OF THESE COUNTRIES . SITTING HERE IN CANADA I CAME ACROSS A BOARD WHICH WAS POSTED IN ANOTHER GROUP WHICH SHOWED THE PASSENGER TRAIN FARE DETAILS EX AMBAS TO VARIOUS PLACES . WE , WHICH INCLUDES ME , YOURS TRULY FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON LIKE TO CRITICIZE THE SERVICE PROVIDERS BE IT FROM THE STATE OR CENTRAL AUSPICES FOR NO LOGICAL REASON AND DO A GREAT DISSERVICE TO OUR NATION BY PAINTING IT IN ALL THE WRONG COLOURS. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE PASSENGER TRAIN FARE FROM AMBASAMUDRAM TO KOVILPATTY . FOR THE 100 KM DISTANCE THE FARE ON THE INDIAN RAILWAYS IT IS Rs 25 OR 40 PAISE PER KILOMETER . FORTY PAISE PER KILOMETER WHEN YOU COMPARE THE SAME WITH THE TRAIN F...
NEW LOOK AMBAI RAILWAY STATION Right from my childhood days , the annual trip down South to RAVANASAMUDRAM, my Native Village from the then CALCUTTA or KHARAGPUR during the Summer Vacation has always been an amazing experience . This was more so for the Meter Gauge journey from Chennai Egmore to Tirunelveli First and then to RAVANASAMUDRAM by the Shencottah Passenger . The change over from the Electric to Steam Locomotive at Villupuram Junction Station was a much looked forward to event . AMBASAMUDRAM Railway Station was a much awaited location as the Steam Locomotive billowing smoke with the rumbling Sound of the Train as it crossed the Tambarabarani River Bridge with the huge Iron Girders was an unforgettable experience . The ARISI MURRUKKU was a much awaited treat at this station . The 130 Year old Quaint Station still retained some of its old ENGLISH traits . Being the Days of the Steam Locomoti...
Good. Good
