Sudbury, Ontario
Good in Sudbury
Not much time to walk today.
Driving north consumed a bit of time. Destination, the Caruso Banquet Hall in
Sudbury. Our little troupe consisting of Mahadeva, Annapurna, Vallabha Hari,
Gabriel, Alec and myself were keen to hit a trail at gorgeous French River. The
sky’s spitting rain along with mud and melting snow made it all somewhat
restrictive. However, our day, and in particular the night, was fruitful.
The hall was venue to a Festival
of India, which was filled up in no time. Advanced tickets were sold before
doors opened. The Pariwar group from Toronto highlighted the stage as the
multi-talented family showed their stuff in the form of dance, song, and music.
It was a mixed crowd. Caucasians came timely and left after enjoying. The
Indian crowd showed up and stayed for an extended period.
I had the pleasure to spend time
at Table One with Jamie West, MPP for Sudbury. What a decent human being. And
also sharing the table was Richard Denton, MD Emeritus, also a Rotarian who
usually attends our India fest outdoor at Belle Park. The Chief of Police was
also with us for the duration and who had good greetings voiced from the
microphone. Jamie expressed that this was the first social event with
significant numbers that he attended in two years.
Thank God we can say more about
the word “Govind” instead of “Covid” from here on, hopefully. The food was
tasty.
Thanks to Prem Kishor of Thunder
Bay who pulled off another successful event. People were truly happy and it
showed by the dancing at the end.
May the Source be with you!
