Stellarton, Nova Scotia
Lots of Gulabjamuns
Happy Diwali! Happy Govardhan Puja!
Two important days on the Vaishnava
calendar are mentioned above. But, for that matter, every day is special. You
have to make it that way.
Ravi, Daniel, and I were welcomed by the
sun and urged by our own will to hit the Albion Trail, which merges with the
Samson Trail; a former route for the local railway line in what is called rails
to trails. Freight and passenger trains were once the major channels or
mobilizing goods and people.
Regarding people, most of the pedestrians
on this pathway, which edges along the East River of Pictou, are seniors which
of course are precious entities. The problem with towns like this is that
younger folks who grew up here depart for the bigger places like Halifax or
Toronto. I’ve come to know that many business enterprises are individually
trying to figure out how to keep or attract a younger generation. I imagine the
issue is a global concern.
We met some fine people who came to visit.
Tyler moved here from Hamilton. He’s in the food and restaurant business.
Divyan’s now been here for three years and came from Toronto. He works as the
Director of Community Development. Hamilton and Toronto are bigger places. So,
we can see that some adjustments are in the making – at least in the district
of New Glasgow/Stellarton.
By the way, Ravi hosted a small Diwali function at his home. A banker, moved from Toronto, came and so did a dentist as well as their families. We just had a great time. There were lots of questions. Lots of gulabjamun sweets.
May the Source be with you!
