Thought Of The Day

It is Thursday sunny and bright. In the morning was a right drizzle, not rain still it helped to cool down a bit. From yesterday's 42 C, now it is 28 C, quite a relief. Every first Thursday of the month, we have our Senior Club meeting at 1 pm. It is 9.30, I am done with my breakfast. Everyone gone only me  and my Son are home. He is off this week. My Eldest is in London at Uni. Master Golden and My Youngest, Master Slurpee, are at Dunbarton High School. My Daughter in law is  at work. I am sitting in the TV lounge, watching "Little House in The Prairie" with my Son, also enjoying the scenic view of my Back Garden, through the big  glass windows. Two white Butterflies talking to the beautiful red Bougainvillea flowers. Two Black squirrels playing hide and seek under the pear tree. It is 10.30 I am at Costco. My Son has to get some groceries. I am sitting on red wooden bench  in the  Food court , writing my Blog. From Costco...

It is Tuesday morning sunny bright beautiful 16 C in London England -- 34 C in Toronto. It is 10 am, I am done with my breakfast, walking around  in the back garden of my daughter in Reading. My luggage is all packed, I am sort of ready to go to my home to Toronto. I have to say good bye to England, the land of three of my Daughters.  I spent about eight weeks here, shunting between Croydon, Grimsby and Reading. I came to England on 1st of July leaving today on 28th of August. It all looked  now a dream to me and Dreams always come to an end. I have to come to reality. Done is done. I have to leave at 11 am from my Daughter's place for Heathrow  airport. That is reality.  My Air Canada flight is waiting for me at Terminal # 2. At 3 pm it will fly and take me to my home,Toronto. My Son will be waiting for me at Pearson airport.  I will be in Toronto at 6.40 pm, that is 11.40 pm England time.  I am in the car now leaving my Daught...

It was 1993 , Rawanda was everywhere , in the News and   in the people discussion. I joined Oxfam for fundraising and Door to door collection. In addition I was volunteering " Global House " , the settlement services of Immigration department of Canada. There was a lady, day Manager from Jamaica, Some of her friend was asking about her mother , who used to live With her. She told her friend that her Mom went back to Jamaica , she wanted so badly to go back and to be with her Own people, she was feeling lonely. She said people want to adopt the children from Rawanda, The war zone,   my  advice to the people is that, let them be with their own people People in their own culture The children will never be happy , there will be no one to talk. I got confused , what is right and what is wrong  Still I am the same , confused, even in 2016 My TV is on and I am watching the Syrian Refugee News With my fingers crossed.

The  real challenge for the whole immigrant community is that how to raise their future generation. Kids should be a model of their own culture and traditions, or parents can compromise and give some liberties to their kids. Parents agree on one point, that they should be more flexible, specially girls should not be in that tight compartment as used to be back home, they should be out of their cages. Parents are still very confused. They don't mind their kids going on the streets for Tick or Treat in Halloween, but when kids want to go to Christmas parties to their friend place, it becomes a burning hot problem. They don't want their kids mingling with  the children of other cultures, specially in parties. As long as their kids religion and belief is safe, it seems OK with every parent. They don't want to take chances, still losing the grip on their future generation. Migration always opens up new vista to new cultures. Parents have to accept. Ring ou...
