Annual Nagar Kirtan to bring Sikh faith and community spirit to Abbotsford

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Abbotsford is preparing to welcome the annual Nagar Kirtan procession this Sunday, September 6, as members of the Sikh community come together to celebrate faith, devotion and the teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The Nagar Kirtan will take place from 9 a.m. to 5

p.m., beginning and concluding at Gurdwara Sahib Kalgidhar Darbar at 30640 Blueridge Drive. The annual procession is held in September and features the transportation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji on a decorated float through the community, accompanied by the singing of devotional hymns. Everyone is welcome to attend the event.

The Nagar Kirtan is an important occasion for the Sikh community, bringing people together in a spirit of devotion, service and community fellowship.

Along the procession route, residents and visitors can witness Sikh religious traditions and experience the welcoming spirit of the community.

The event also provides an opportunity for people of different backgrounds to learn more about Sikhism and its values, including equality, compassion, humility, service and sharing with others.

With large numbers of people expected to participate and watch the procession, motorists are advised to plan ahead. The City of Abbotsford has announced rolling road closures from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the Nagar Kirtan, with temporary traffic disruptions expected as the procession moves through the area.

Lengthier closures are generally expected near the Sikh temple.

The annual Nagar Kirtan has become a significant community gathering in Abbotsford, reflecting the strong presence and contribution of the Sikh community in the Fraser Valley.

As the procession makes its way through the streets, the event will offer a day of prayer, music, community participation and reflection, while sharing the message and values of Sikhism with the wider Abbotsford community.

Be cautious about what you bring to an end or the way in which you go about winding something up, especially if you think it will open up more choices. The situation will have to be revisited mid April next year.

Other things would have changed by then.

It might be wiser to let things take their own course right now.

Something that started off as a small thing when it comes to helping out somebody else that seems to keep on growing would be best dealt with now, especially if it is turning into a habit or interfering with your regular routines. It has probably taught you to take more notice of what is important to you, rather than getting distracted..

Something is winding up on a personal level perhaps in ways you were not expecting that is generating thought of all sorts of possibilities in the long term. Someone can play a powerful role here. However it is to eventually settle will not become evident until January to April next year. Meanwhile just go with the flow.

You can have success in getting something out of the way that has been on your mind for a while but the energy just hasn’t been there.

Not that you will feel overly energised just yet. It is more a realisation that time is running out. You know you will feel a lot better once this is done, especially if others have a good view of it.

There can be a willingness to let something go that has been a personal priority but doesn’t fit well with someone else. It will be more important to establish underlying stability in situations involving others. This can be temporary as other opportunities to focus on your wishes will arise next year from January to April. Patience can pay off.

Something needs to be put into place once and for all so that you know what needs to be spent rather than other things coming up all the time. Whatever you do now can create changes that may not be fully implemented until next year, between January and April.

You need to be straightforward and practical with any discussions.

The New Moon this week occurs in your sign providing you with the opportunity to generate changed directions on a personal level. Anything that has not been heading in the direction you had hoped might be better let go right now. Becoming more practical can appeal to you, especially when it comes to stability with finances.

There can be new directions building up in the background that will provide the opportunity to put a stable foundation in place. This is likely tied into the decisions of somebody else and something may need to wind up so they can take the next step.

There could be more than one stage of development attached to this as well.

Changes in somebody else’s life may make you realise things are moving on and it will not be the same for you. This is encouraging you to think about what is important to you. It can actually be freeing you up to do so. This is a first stage.

New people can come into your life, especially from January to April next year.

New directions involving other people can be smooth running if things are done their way. While there might be a lot in common, their determination might clash with yours. If you have been attempting to come to an agreement, this might need to be left for now and revisited mid April as things will likely have changed by then.

It might be time to develop a new attitude when it comes to commitments or obligations in your life, especially if they affect your finances. If you have accepted things without thinking, you could recognise this has to stop. This can only happen when you take the time to analyse what you can realistically manage and follow through.

New possibilities in the long term can begin to feel more probable or realistic. This could leave behind a level of personal doubt or insecurity.

This can be tied to you becoming more aware of what has been important for a long time but needs to be modified in some way for the future. The second stage can occur January to April next year.

Taapsee on being typecast Actor Taapsee Pannu says she has often told filmmakers not to cast her in roles that audiences can easily predict, as she does not want to be trapped in a particular image. The Delhi-born actor, who charted an unconventional path in cinema with hard-hitting dramas such as Pink, Mulk, Thappad and Assi, said she would love to do a fun film like Khel Khel Mein, the 2024 comedy where she was part of an ensemble cast. "Everybody is going into their comfort zone and using tried-andtested methods. For instance, for glamorous roles, they have a set of five actresses they can cast, and for hard-hitting, issue-based films, they have another set of five actresses to cast," the actor told this news agency. "I've actually started turning down films for this reason, telling makers that the audience will easily guess the ending. So, 'Don't cast me in this, it's bad for your film'. I've gone and 'de-sold' myself to a few films," she added. Pannu, who will be next seen in Netflix's action-drama Gandhari, said she has played strong women characters on screen and enjoyed them too, but these roles came to her at a time when conventional female lead roles were not an option.

Nora's love life worries

Nora Fatehi has opened up about how years of speculation surrounding her personal life could affect her future relationships, revealing that false narratives continue to concern her even today. Speaking on a podcast, the actress said much of what has been written or discussed about her private life does not reflect reality. She stressed that people often form opinions based on comments, media reports and social media speculation without knowing the complete truth. "Nobody knows the truth about my personal life.

Nobody. Maybe one or two people," Nora said, adding that people should not automatically believe everything they read about her online. The actress also expressed concern about how such narratives could influence a potential partner in the future. She said she worries that someone she may eventually be with could come across stories about her online and believe them to be true, despite not knowing what actually happened. Nora's comments come as she reflected on the difficult years following her association with jailed conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar and the controversy surrounding the case. She has denied allegations about dating him or accepting gifts from him for personal reasons. For Nora, the experience has highlighted how difficult it can be to separate a celebrity's public image from their private reality, especially when online narratives continue long after a controversy has faded.

SIDDHANT refuses      to chase validation

Siddhant Chaturvedi’s constant presence in the public eye comes with its share of opinions, scrutiny and judgement.

While the actor remains open to feedback, he believes it is equally important to protect his own instinct and not allow external voices to dictate his choices.“You can’t control opinions, and honestly, you shouldn’t try to. The only thing you can control is your intention,” Siddhant says. He believes staying connected to the reason he entered the industry helps him navigate the noise that comes with visibility. While feedback allows him to learn and grow, he consciously ensures that outside opinions do not overpower his own creative instincts. This approach has influenced the way Siddhant has shaped his career. After gaining recognition as MC Sher in Gully Boy, he chose to explore varied characters and genres instead of remaining confined to one image. From Gehraiyaan and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan to Yudhra and Dhadak 2, he has continued to experiment. Siddhant’s creativity extends beyond acting into music, poetry and fashion. He sees each as another form of self-expression and believes curiosity keeps him moving forward. Ultimately, he says, the key is to remain grounded in one’s own choices and not chase constant validation. As he puts it, “I don’t want outside noise to become louder than my own instinct.”

Actress and model Lisa Ray has opened up about her approach to fitness in her 50s. She shared how her perspective on exercise, ageing and body image has evolved over the years. In a candid social media post, Lisa emphasized the importance of listening to her body, staying consistent and embracing change.

Reflecting on her fitness journey, Lisa said that working out in her 50s "looks very, very different" from how it did earlier. She explained that she once celebrated pushing her body harder, but now finds greater value in understanding and listening to it. Sharing a series of her photos, the Four More Shots Please! actor wrote, "Fitness in my 50s looks very, very different. If I had to boil it down to two things, it's this: I used to celebrate pushing my body harder.

Now I celebrate listening to it better. And secondly: consistency.

Which comes easier when you stop exercising for the body you had — and start training for the life you still want."

"The future me who wants to keep dancing, exploring, travelling, carrying her own bags and, ideally, not breaking a bone. But there's one part of midlife fitness we don't talk about enough: acceptance. Acceptance isn't defeat.

I've accepted that my body has changed.", added Lisa.
