Canada’s heroic but lonely defence of liberal values!!!!

Dearest friends

Today's mail is a message from The Economist.

               

This week cover page considers Canada’s heroic but lonely defence of liberal values.

In a world of wall-builders, door-slammers and drawbridge-raisers, it stands out as a heartening exception.

Canada is uniquely fortunate in many ways, but other Western countries can still learn from its example.

Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief The Economist

In line with our tolerance regarding values, this Sunday many communities are celebrating Diwali...This festival symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness or the win of good over the evil.

May my best wishes reach each and everyone on this special day.

Have a great Friday.

Diwali Abhinandan from Kam City

My dearest and adorable friends

Sunday will be Diwali…. :)

Diwali is the brightest of all Hindu festivals...also referred as the "festival of lights" is celebrated on second lunar day of the bright fortnight of the Hindu calendar month Kartik.

The name Diwali is a contraction of "Deepavali" (Sanskrit: दीपावली Dīpāvalī), which translates into "row of lamps".

Therefore, on this day, small clay lamps filled with oil are lighted to celebrate the triumph of Light over darkness or the win of the Good over the Evil.

With Diwali also comes new clothes and sharing of sweets with family members and friends.

Around the world, Diwali is also celebrated with the same enthusiasm and joy.

It is a way to strengthen our relationships…Even far from sight but still Diwali keeps us very close to the heart.

Last but not least…We can’t miss the cakes and more importantly Mr. THE 'Gato Patate'......Do enjoy them…I will miss them for sure. :(

Diwali Abhinandan to all of you…..From Kam City

Happy Diwali!!!!!!The Festival of Lights and abundance of Gato Patates too :)

My dearest and adorable friends

Diwali or Deepavali, certainly the biggest and the brightest of all Hindu festivals...also referred as the "festival of lights" celebrated on second lunar day of the bright fortnight of the Hindu calendar month Kartik.

The name Diwali is a contraction of "Deepavali" (Sanskrit: दीपावली Dīpāvalī), which translates into "row of lamps".

Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps filled with oil to signify the return of Lord Rama along with Sita and Lakshman from his fourteen year long exile and vanquishing the demon-king Ravana.

During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends and fire crackers during the night.

In Mauritius...Diwali is a National festival and we all celebrate it together in a spirit of brotherhood…as explained by our Prime Minister.(Extract from Defimedia)

Le Premier ministre a expliqué que la fête Divali « transcende toutes les barrières ». « C’est une fête nationale. L’accent est mis sur le partage. Dans notre société multiethnique, le partage est important pour l’épanouissement »

So Divali festival is yet another opportunity to further strenghen our relationships for us to progress but more importantly to always live in Peace and Harmony. As we say « L'unité dans la diversité »

Apart from seeing the beautiful decorated lighted houses...we just can’t miss the cakes and especially THE 'Gato patate'.....But do eat with moderation…enfin si capave :)

I know many friends who will eat no limits and then rush for a green tea :)

Kam City wish you all….Loads of Happiness…Wealth...Peace…Health…Joy…Prosperity and of course lots of Love for this Special Diwali 2015 :)
