I used to go to ******wood, now known as Hermitage Village. When I was small, I lived across the road from Palmiste and went to Canaan Pres. My uncle, Sonny Ramadhin, was discovered at the cricket ground next to the pond. And, sad to say, one of my best friends from Esperance, dove in head first into that pond, got stuck, and drowned. I have never been to Palmiste Park since then.

The transelation is Ram's (Hindu avatar of God) story. Its basically a play depicting the story of the Ramayan (hindu text). Culminates in a huge fire in which an effigy of the demon Ravan is burnt.

From the main road by Palmiste, when you take the cut-off, past the Overseer house, the left road leads to Hermitage Village aka Hillpiece. Travel further down and you run into Ghandi Village. Continue down that road and you end up in Debe.

The road from Palmiste to Debe still existing. You pass the mosque on the hill and come out in a road before Debe market.
The road tht goes to Ghandi Village from Palmiste exist but it's sorta abandoned and people go dump rubbish there etc.

If you look into my side mirror you wud see the road coming out from Palmiste into the SS Erin Road (Near Debe Market).
I was in traffic at the lights and decided to take this pic :lol: :mrgreen:
Like they fixing the road becos it had a barrier and those Police men.
The road is used as a short cut from traffic by many maxi and taxi drivers. You exit by Palmiste park.

I went to a Ram Leela when i was very young and I can't remember the name of the place.
What I can remember is standing behind a bamboo fence, eating ice cream and watching what going on.

Khartik Sankranti was October 17th, 2007

We called it Kartik Nahan down Waterloo where lots of folks normally gather to bathe at the sea during that time of year. Attracted a lot of teenagers from the other villages. It's one of the things am documenting in a website am creating on Waterloo.

in the 1960's Ram Leela was celebrated in the then Chaguanas Market Square (now part of the market). The man responsible was B.M. Singh senoir.
