khu;fop 29> 2006 itfiw-21- “THIS PAGE IS WRITTEN BY YOUTHS FOR YOUTHS OF ALL AGES - IT’S OUR TURN Time to Enjoy Ruban Jesudiaharasa ruban@vaikarai.com After weeks of preparations and procrastinating to write articles, the exams are finally over! Now it is time to enjoy the winter holidays with friends and families. I truly hope everyone's finals and mid-terms went very well and remember to take it easy now. Always plan something with your elementary school friends and high school friends so it will become an annual event because it would be a great way to keep in touch, especially if they do not go to the same university or college as you do. Here are some great ideas to find a way to hang out with your friends: · Perhaps a dinner at a good family restaurant (no fast food places like McDonald's because it will not have the same special feeling to it). Besides fast food places are not healthy for you. · Going to the movies will be fun as well but keep in mind to talk and have fun afterwards or prior to the movie because Giant ice shelf breaks off Immense ice shelf breaks off in Canadian Arctic: researchers by Guillaume Lavallee MONTREAL (AFP) - An enormous ice shelf broke away from Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic last year, researchers said, warning it could be another symptom of global warming. The 66-square-kilometer (25.5-squaremile) ice island tore away from Ellesmere, a huge strip of land in the Canadian Arctic close to Greenland. The break occurred in August 2005 and was so violent that it caused tremors that were detected by Canadian seismographs 250 kilometers (155 miles) away, but at the time no one was able to pinpoint what had happened. The Canadian Ice Service contacted geographer Luke Copland of the University of Ottawa, who reconstructed the chain of events by piecing together data from the seismic readings and satellite images provided by Canada and the United States. "This loss is the biggest in 25 years, but it continues the loss that occurred within the these are passive time with your friends. · You need to be social, obviously, by talking about random topics - exams, movies, fashion, sports and other various topics. · Running a Christmas party would be a great idea but the downfall is that it can be expensive and finding a proper date would be hard. Family would be expecting you to be home during Christmas Eve and day to hang out with them obviously. · Going to a specific area would be nice too, like going to the Niagara Falls with a friends or even playing road hockey with bunch of friends from your elementary school. It will certainly bring back memories from the olden days when you used to do the same during recesses (foot hockey instead of road hockey). · Keeping it simple is always a good way to go too. Like having a snowball fight, building a snowman with your nieces and nephews or perhaps even make snow angels. Make sure to dress appropriately because from the fourteen plus years of experience in Canada, I can truly say that the weather can be unpredictable. One day it can snow and the next it can be a blizzard! So, check the weather beforehand so your fun will not be spoiled. Well it is time for me to go enjoy my holiday as well before university resumes again on the eighth of January so make sure you enjoy the break. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! last century," Copland told AFP, saying 90 percent of the the ice cover had been lost since the area was discovered in 1906. "What is important and interesting is that it is sudden, quite large even," he said. "In the past, we looked to climate change (and) thought perhaps ice shelves ... would just melt apart by losing a little piece day by day, but it now seems that when you reach some kind of threshold, when you reach that level, the whole thing just breaks apart." Following the discovery, biologist Warwick Vincent of Laval University in Quebec, visited the icy waters of the Arctic to view the "new island." Vincent said he had seen nothing like it in the past decade. "It really is incredible," Vincent was quoted as saying by the newspaper National Post. "People talk of endangered animals -well, these are endangered landscape features, and we are losing them," he said. Louis Fortier, scientific director of ArcticNet, a Canadian Artic research network, said the massive breakoff signaled a rise in Arctic warming."This Ellesmere ice shelf was sheltering unique ecosystems on the planet; there are freshwater lakes which were forming above and under the ice shelf," Fortier told AFP. Time to Party As the darkness loomed outside, light from inside the house illuminated the lawn as people ran here and there trying to get everything done on time. As one runs out of the washroom adorning new clothes, the next runs in, as one screams out instruction, others sit outside in the dark and paint the front yard with koolam made of rice flour. I was four years old, and we have just moved to India. My first pongal in India; one that would stay craved in my memory. We were woken up at four in the morning, asked to shower and were handed new clothes. We sat on the steps as the morning dew fell on us observing every small movement from appa building the fire to amma walking in and out of the house following appa's instructions. Before we knew it the sun rose with the pongal and showered everyone's face with smiles and excitement. The day seemed like it would never end. BUT pongal was never the same. As life in Canada promised many things, we still like to remain blind to things that have altered our lives so much. Life never tends to stop; rather it gets faster and faster. At times we don't even know when our own festivities such as pongal come about. Our parents wake up in the morning, go to work, later we go to school as if it's just another day. When we return, there on the table sits a pot with some pongal, and dinner is served. One just doesn't seem to make a connection, or feel the same feeling our parents felt back home, or know what these festivals symbolize not just for our parents but for us; as this will always remains our culture. As much as we cry out to be Canadians, to others we will always be the shadow of our culture. But where has it all gone? Life and circumstances can not be distinguished; two sides of one coin. As much as both sides differ they come to be the same, to be one. Life has changed for sure, and everyday we run around looking for excuses. We have not been living and learning our culture, but rather creating a new one, that is neither KANNI kanni@vaikarai.com a Tamil nor a western culture; a game of cat and mice. For sure it could even be our circumstance; our resources just don't permit us to share such relations with our culture. Pongal always seem to fall in January, the middle of winter, when the earth is supposed to be covered with snow. One cannot imagine heading outside and putting koolams on the drive way or making pongal outside on the rich original fire. Everything has to be compromised with the four walls, where there is no koolam or new clothes, just the pongal cooking on the gas stove. But we have compromised further. Christmas is one celebration we all wait for. One because we all get two weeks holidays in the name of Christmas, and two we host one party after the other. Directly or indirectly we all cherish Christmas, from the decorated Christmas tree, to the exchange of gift regardless of culture and beliefs, to the memorable snapshot with our invented Santa Clause. It's the time of the year we all celebrate Christmas without knowing how much we all really have changed. We don't throw parties for pongal or get together with family for deepavali (Diwali), but we will sure plan Christmas parties weeks ahead. We have come to celebrate the western festivities more than our own. Even I never thought about it. But at times my child hood memories of pongal, and firecrackers haunts me. And I do miss it. But with my circumstances and the cultures surrounding me even I might have become westernized. Where even I celebrate Christmas, where Christmas parties adorns my house every year. Where my parents have to tell me when pongal is arriving and what is going to As much as we cry out to be Canadians, to others we will always be the shadow of our culture. But where has it all gone? happen. It is not just the people around me, the places around me, nor the circumstances around that have changed, but my life and who I am as a person. Even though my childhood memory haunts me, and I do wish at times of returning to some of them, our life has just changed so much; that at times we might never be able to return to those wondrous moments. Have we punished ourselves with this, or have we just been pushes into this black hole, no one knows. But as we sit here partying day after day; at last east meets west.
