At last Under the SUN - 848

        FINALLY GOT TO SEE THE SUN 

BARRING A GAP OF 2 MONTHS IN MAY AND JUNE OF 2025 , I AM NOW IN CANADA AT REGINA AND TORONTO FOR CLOSE TO TWO YEARS .

WINTERS ARE LONG WITH FREEZING COLD AND SNOW . ONE HARDLY GETS TO SEE THE SUN FOR CLOSE TO 5 MONTHS .

THE WINTER SET IN RATHER EARLY IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER ITSELF IN 2025 AT AJAX IN TORONTO .





I AM NOW AT REGINA WHICH HAS STILL HARSHER WINTERS .

AFTER ALMOST 7/8 MONTHS , THE TEMPERATURES HAVE STARTED TO MOVE ON TO THE POSITIVE SIDE . SURPRISINGLY IT WAS PLUS 22 DEGREES TODAY AT REGINA .







NICE TIME TO USHER IN THE SUN AND DISCARD THE LAYERS OF  WARM CLOTHING , GLOVES , SCARF AND CAP FOR A FEW MONTHS .

A  SUNNY DAY IS A VERY MUCH CELEBRATED EVENT AROUND THESE PARTS . I TOO JOIN THIS GANG NOW .

GOLU-EXHIBITION ? - 797

Image
         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...

Raleigh/ Eastern Star Bicycle - 680

 Here i am , a Retired Person nearing the three quarters of the Century Mark  , musing about the many  childhood dreams . There are many things which have caught my fancy as a schoolgoing kid and later on in the teens. It is only fair to say that Some of those Important  Dreams , thanks to the lord above have been realized and and sadly there are parts of the same that  are never going to see the light of the day . The early part of my teens was at a place called Kharapur in W Bengal .Now, dont get me wrong , it was not at the IIT for which the place is  obviously more famous for the World over , but the Railway Colony of which my Father was very much a part. I did my schooling at the Railway Mixed Higher Secondary School there. My fathers previous posting among a lot many other places  was at a place called Chakradharpur in Bihar and my early  schooling was entirely  in the Hindi Medium. The school at Kharagpur though had a sizable Anglo Ind...
