It was a lovely Fall day. I had to be in the city today -a day when the trains were experiencing big delays. My ride wasn't too bad, though.
As I was coming out from the subway at Rockefeller Center, lo & behold! A street fair was well under way on 47th Street, 6th Avenue. Streets were blocked and we were able to walk aimlessly in the middle of the busy street!
It was nice to see New Yorkers making the most of the warm weather for outdoors' activities. And well, haggling for the best bargains in high spirits.
Here are some photos of the street affair...
A group of us is in the process of making a documentary on our Indentured Ancestors. Our ancestors were lured from India to British Guiana, to sweat and toil in the sugar plantations. They were recruited by the rich British Landlords as Indentured Labourers on a five-year stint and were promised return "passages" back to India. Their lives were reduced to semi-slavery.Their enduring spirit, resilience and indomitable courage were remarkable. Kudos to our Indentured Ancestors!
