Chess-moves-Tracking

As I saw Sahil and his uncle-Bharat Mama play chess, I remembered many such games I had played with my father, uncles, and grandfather in the 70s/80s, and how this was- along with the walking clubs, reading groups, one of the first clubs I became part of, informally, which added a great richness to life.

WALKING CLUB

KARIYA PARK-MISSISSAUGA-July 2018

Around Father’s day, we had gone for walks, to Kariya Park area, and remembered previous walks-over yesteryears-with Father Figures of the community in Malta-2012, where we had even gone to the Cemetery at Floriana and paid respects to seniors of times gone by.

The first ever walking club I remember was of the Pune of the 1970s when we would go for early morning walks – See blog-

BOOK CLUB

When asked what gift I want from Mumbai, I told to bring Those days-the translation of Sunil Gangopadhyaya’s novel-Sei Samay- by Aruna Chakravarti.

We read some parts of the novel in Riverwood…

In the year 2017-2018 we had discussed –Anthony Doerr’s novel-All the

lights we cannot see

READING JOURNAL

I integrated some parts of my Reading Journal into the Reading-Walking Diary I keep –especially in Summer months- going out to open spaces like Riverwood, Port Credit, Hamilton mountain locations and sitting and reading/discussing

Some interesting insights after discussions on Doerr’s novel

• As a genre I do not like reading war novels….

• What about the French Resistance Kangaroo courts…

• Bildungsroman novels- Sunil Gangopadhyay’s –Sei Samay-Those Days

END NOTE- FAMILY WALKS..
