If anyone is interested in discussing topics of Civic Engagement, I'm coordinating a Round Table with Canada25 Montreal on this topic. We also have an online blog at http://www.canada25montreal.blogspot.com/ where you can contribute to the discussions.

Yo yo! Ca va tu bien lecteurs de blog? Des commentaires, des commentaires... j'en ai besoin afin d'affirmer mon existence!

So, the weather is still warm here in Montreal. Funny thing, it apparently was snowing in Winnipeg (also in Canada, and further south then Montreal). Is this global warming, or what? As the hurricanes devastate central america, we keep producing toxins and filling our wonderful air with smog and pollution so that we can overconsume to compensate for other lactitudes in our life and end up not having money, so having to work more and then having to compensate more... and so the circle continues.

Everyone should go to India, to China or another overpopulated developing country to see what some of the true simpler values of life are...

Save up and travel...

Carpe Diem!

on a happier note, my cousin/sister just had a baby boy... welcome to the world Chetan!

Bonjour! I'm back... with a realization that time really goes by quickly. I can't believe that it has already been months since I have returned from my Europe trip... my holidays (that feels as if I have not even taken any). Upon returning I had Etienne and Christele visit me from France... it was wonderful to show them around Montreal. You can check out some pictures of our patio party at: Etiennes blog

As October hits, signs of fall and another seasonal era begin... school starting, summer ending and harvesting for an upcomming period of winter, spring and summer. however, having been in Montreal now for three years, i feel that i am falling into the trap of north americanization... consumption.. amasing resources for a hibernation, however truly trying to compensate for some adventure that is out there in the world... being a sort of nomad again. Funny.. as I was typing this, I got a phone call from a friend of mine, marnie, in the Phillipines... asking me what I was doing in November and if I could go to Asia.. but see, I am stuck down here with work... and constraints of budget for travelling and taking time off work... ahh... if only I could find the solution allowing me to be living planet earth as if it was my neigbourhood...

well, those are my thoughts. Would love some comments, consolations or suggestions...
