Now They are in Grade 9th
It is Thursday hot sunny morning 24 C feels like 30 C. Just couple of days
back, it was 11 C. It is 9.15 morning. I am walking on my driveway enjoying
the scenic atmosphere around. Flowers still smiling from my neighbor's
front garden.
Red wooden bench shining at my front garden. It was raining last week so
grass is lush green. White Butterfly was busy talking to flowers, now resting
for a while on the grass.
I am waiting for my friend, she will pick me up for the Community Meeting.
Meeting will start at 9.30, it is 15 minutes away after that another one will
be at Altona, two more will be near Pickering Town Centre.
All the Meetings will be done by 3 pm. I will be back home, my grandsons,
Master Golden and Master Slurpee will be back by then. I will enjoy their
company.
Whenever I look at the Basketball Pole outside my house. It reminds me
that things change time flies, enjoy the moments in hand. Just couple of
months back, in the last summer, this Pole was like the centre of attraction
for the whole bunch of boys.
My Youngest, the Slurpee Boy was in grade 8th. All of his friends and also
some of his classmates used to come to play here after school. It used to be
like a festive atmosphere around the pole. I used to give them drinks and
snacks, to make them happy.
Now they are in grade 9th, they are not kids anymore. Everyone is busy
with their computers.
Dear Retirees I told you to be cautious with the so called Priest. I am sure
that He is behind all this. I mentioned sometimes back when you were
worried about the incidence in the Temple.
You mentioned about loud noise, about hitting and carrying casket in
procession. I told you that some Religions have special mourning days like
Good Friday. People have their own way to connect with their Spiritual
Figures. So just ignore and be careful with the Priest.
Dear Students this is for you Guys too, I mean try to understand that
Parents want to transfer their Spiritual knowledge and Religious practice
and traditions, to their siblings.
This all is to make sure that their Kids will carry on their Religious values
and also will keep these Family values alive. This is very important to your parents. Please understand that and don't take any drastic measure.

ReplyDeleteDear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees did not go for our walk today. Our walk though very long for us, is nothing compared to the ones that you take. We went straight to the reading of the blog
The retirees held an urgent meeting today. The meeting was held after the reading of your blog. We used the guidance that you provided in your blog. The retired priest also participated in the meeting. We wanted to ban him but he reminded us that you have many times overturned his suspension and as a bonafide member of the club, he is allowed to attend all the meetings. The retired judge agreed with his assessment of the situation. The retired priest pointed out that there is no beating, shouting and crying in the Good Friday event. He also reminded everyone that there are Easter eggs which the kids look forward to. He agreed that there is not enough evidence to go the authorities He submitted a resolution that the retired detectives be allowed to expand their investigation. After some debate, the retired lawyers agreed. They said that if they would stop the investigation then the authorities will get the impression that we trying to hide something. We wanted to have the hijab lady and the temple people come to the meetings but we were not able to reach them. I will let you know how this unfolds. The retired lawyers said that it should be ok.
thank you

ReplyDeletecool Kyle
Smile is a factory of new ideas. It is a mystery how she does it. Just like it is a mystery how there are flowers in spring every year

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe read your blog at the Smile Garden today. As usual there was a big turn around. Mrs. Lucy was not there today but she still sent the flat bread with Prof George. Prof George told the Dean that Lucy is quite sick and has a very high fever but she still wanted to do something for the blog reading.
The student who is being bullied by her parents to go to the temple was here but Prof George asked her to reconsider her position after your comments. She was very upset and said that the parents have a big day next week and they have asked her to take the whole day off as they are not supposed to do anything that day but listen about history. Prof George and Dean were heard talking softly that they think that she is exaggerating, there is no way that any parent can be so irrational and such a bully. They said that even if half of it is true then they can be reported for child abuse.
thank you
