A smaller party at Belvedere industrial area will be  another nice place to be today. Nice breeze from the nearby ocean, nice music in an open area and good food. With family dancing as the sun set. Crab-grass sleeping nearby.    

For the Guyanese East Indian Easter should be a good day to learn 5 words and their meaning in Hindi or Urdu. Or learn to play a South Asian musical instrument. It will give you a sense of pride and to appreciate your identity in the overwhelming English supremacy of the Caribbean Creole culture.

I know Easter Monday I man pun the seawall Backballing and wine and go down low from Mon Repos to Buxton Seawall. Any instrument playing is mine.

Mitwah don't waste time singing instead go pick up that South Asian drum and start beating.

Here's my favorite from Kati Patang.

I am a versatile tabla player.

This one will take you down memory lane.

Mits, this song remands me so much about visiting India. Too bad they don't show who did the recording. Another of my most moving experiences was singing the Indian national anthem during swaraj. Thanks.

This one from 1957. Patang means kite.

My most striking memory of Easter and Phagwah in GY,  was walking along the street and hearing the same Indian song from radios, in different houses and smelling the different curries.

I remember how we had a paste tree in our yard and people come from miles away to get a bunch.

Did you take the time to read the racist shit posted by Prashad, I'm sure you did. So why would any other race in Guyana do anything for one that's so dam prejudiced against all? 

I do hope all Indians don't think the way you guys do.

How is that racist what I said. I started having a proud sense of my identity when I was made to stand in my school class as a boy and be humiliated for being an East Indian and a person with a foreign culture/religion by my Jamaican classroom teacher.

 Sammy Davis Jr once sang "I got to be me because I got to be free because I got to be who I Am"

So I cannot adopt someone else identity and say that is me.

Cain, you ain't know nuttin about paste tree. It's called Passey tree. The passey grows in bunches and gets a lightish yellow color when ripe. They are about the size of the small wee ree wee ree pepers or a little bit bigger. When you don't know, ask a "Burbician". We can talk backdam talk, cane cutter talk, fish market talk and down de coast talk. FYI.
