A Mix
Toronto, Ontario
Today was the 37th annual Festival of Chariots/India this year for Toronto. It was big and as chairperson Keshava is quoted in the Toronto Star newspaper declaring it colourful. “The festival has enough colour that you could put us in a garbage dump and we would still make it fun,“ is how the article was completed.
One man parked in a driveway read the report as a bunch of us devotional clad devotees did our early morning japa walk. We turned a corner , he saw us and with a smile said through his open window, “Hey, I’m just reading about you!” He was taken by the coincidence.
The article came out Sunday morning (yet to come, I’m behind in my blogging) but it did give an honest report on the spirit of the event. Surrounding articles of the day covered stories about the moon mission and the diminished dreams of that expedition, what the U.S. can learn from Canada’s health care system and how age doesn’t necessarily restrict one from scoring big as Tom Watson did at golf championship.
While I had a fabulous time involved in the festival program watching our youth (including Keshava) in full devotional action I couldn’t deny the sobering effect of a dialogue I had with a non conspiring theorist but realist in regards to the economical woes to come.
Every event is a mix of fun and harshness.
