My Trinidad: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow – June 2024

By Margaret Syne

  • Sir Frank and the Mike Men

What’s Inside!

 

Tony Deyal, who was the feature  speaker at the NCIC and spoke about reading and writing, but not arithmetic.

Sir Frank, who was a cricket celebrity back in his day, then the Mike men, the social media of the day, who used true Trini lingo. Through the movie sound systems were the lyrics and melodies of our calypsonians listed here in respective movies.

We then encounter a Lagahoo with feelings. Fast approaching is the great value of grandfathers as it relates to fatherhood and filial piety. In contrast, there is the touching story of a father and an unwanted child.

Besides Fathers’ Day, June is renowned for weddings. Can the young people of today afford them or do they want to get married at all? Falling in love with someone from a different social bracket and the lack of money caused breakups back on the cocoa estates.

Whether their cocoa was out in the sun is questionable. With marriage, comes conflict and we have strategies to navigate through bad times. In addition, you can enjoy the misty mountains of the northern range, and the foul conditions of certain parts of San Fernando. To change the mood, you can view awesome photos on the outskirts of San Fernando.

After all this reading, you may get hungry, try our breadfruit recipe. If you did the Calypso quiz last month, the answers are here for you to double-check. We welcome two writers new to MyT, Marguerite Lucerne and Francis Morean.

I hope you guys had a very Happy Father’s Day! And have an enjoyable Labour Day celebrations!

If you did not plant a tree on Earth/Environment Day, you can still do it. Every day is Earth Day.
