My Beautiful Canadian Cowboy  Brian and I celebrated our 6th anniversary  through February and March 2015....with several events.
As February was drawing to  a close we spent a long weekend at Niagara Falls in what was one of the coldest winters in 100 years...The CNN crew from US was there as well as all the local channels...the Falls were almost frozen but not our hearts they were as warm as the fire place of the beautiful places we visited together..

Brian took me up to the Skylon towers for a romantic dinner...The reason why Skylon towers means so much to me is that almost 40 years ago when my parents were new to this country and they lived in St Catherine's town..my Father's company president the Head of Foster Wheelers Canada invited my parents for a dinner up at the Skylon which was the first ever revolving tower my parents had been to in their life..


My Parents never ever forgot the beauty and magic of that day so many decades ago and Brian took me up there to  honor my parents and  to honor our Love ...it was as if Skylon connected us both to them across space and time...

In Late February we went to a  performance by the Band Powder Finger which played Neil Yong songs at Grossman's Tavern at Spadina Avenue . This is a favorite hang out for Music lovers and both Brian and I are great fans of Neil Young. His music is Country and Rock and very hauntingly beautiful..Brian always sings the Song Cinnamon Girl about a  White Man's Love for his " Indian Love" to me..He calls me his `Cinnamon Girl' and Brown Eyed girl..and whenever these songs play we look at each other and laugh...
Powderfinger, a Canadian tribute to Neil Young Powder Finger is a great band and their music is almost like the original..the people at Grossman's were very friendly and seemed to know each other..there is a dedicated group of music lovers there.


When one sits down with a group of people at their most relaxed and in their element one gets the idea of the National character..

Back in India my city Poona had international students from many lands and I had many friends. I remember that when a group of Middle Eastern men and women came together. There would be laughter. Food, and then politics and strong argumets..but also warmth and generosity... When people of Thailand came together..it was always laughter food and more laughter.
.When Indian comes together. There is food, laughter and then politics and gossip..and lots of emotion...
As before and now. When I see my Cowboy Brian and most Canadians at  Music meets and Camp sites..at hiking trails and Band shows. I understand how peace loving and gentle most Canadians are. Their music and their favorite Beer,. And their loved one..that's the Canadian spirit. Love of the beautiful outdoors. Sports, nature, ideas and  country or Rock..music..and for us..Our Love.

It talks about an Astrauant Father and his Love for his daughter whioch brings him across the Universe and across Time and Space..The over all Message which I loved..The New Yorker says that "The Nolans take us into the farthest mysteries of space-time, in this Movie Interstellar where, they assure us, love joins gravity as a force that operates across interstellar distances."

We both love to walk together a lot and as winter was still in the air a few weeks ago..Brian took me walking on ice across the Humber river and the Grenadier Pond at High Park..( Our pictures to be uploaded soon)....Brian said to me.."Christ walked across water.".now you can say you walked across a River ( though it was a frozen one)..both take faith. Faith in God and faith in the man you love when he takes you across  frozen river or stream. Faith that he will be there for you in thick ice and thin ice..and in good days and bad ones and the one above always protects us..our love and our lives from enemies and unseen dangers and that both. The man you love and God will take you across the shores of this life to something more beautiful and lasting than the waters below ..Luckily we were not alone..The Cross Country Skiers and young Ice Hockey players on both Humber River and Grenadier pond show us how much some people love the elements and the sence of adventure......
Back to Earth..High Park is incredibly beautiful as spring arrives and the Red Cardinals and Robins are back...

Like us the Male and the female are of different colors but always deeply in Love...and that's the bottom line...
Love..always..every season and every day.. of your life..

habitually performing small acts of kindness.
