Cornwall, Ont, Canada: June 25, 2015. (PCP) This incident tells how some diaspora behave in a weird way, and provides enough material to open the eyes of the concerned citizens for peace Stephen Gill, internationally respected poet and novelist who has been honored with awards and is known for his writing on peace, says he is still under shock because he was abruptly stopped by the pharmacist of Shoppers Drug Mart on Brookdale Ave in Cornwall to empty his front pocket in front of the employees and one or two customers. Stephen Gill adds he is a self-exiled writer from Indo/Pak region and has been in Canada for around fifty years. This incident happened only once, on June 22nd around 5 pm, when he went to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of ear drops to ease his itching. He asked an assistant for help who asked the pharmacist. After inspecting different bottles, the pharmacist, seemingly either in a desperate hurry or nervous, suggested one. Because it was not what he wanted, Stephen Gill put the bottle back on the shelf. As the pharmacist left, Stephen Gill changed his mind and picked the same bottle. After opening it to be certain it had a dropper, he proceeded towards the cashier to pay. This was the time when the pharmacist, who appeared to be from Indo/Pak region, returned and took the bottle from him. Questioning and giving the bottle back, the pharmacist further questioned the contents of his front pocket. Stephen Gill says he was shocked and felt like phoning police after refusing to empty his pocket. Though puzzled and shocked with the behavior he emptied his pocket without the least hesitation, showing there was nothing, except his reading glasses. The pharmacist left without even offering an apology for his rudeness and reasons for his questions. Stephen Gill says this happened during the day in a busy area in his hometown where he taught, worked as the president of an incorporated publishing house for more than fifteen years, where he offered his services to the public by contesting two, though successful elections, to win a seat on the council to promote literary activities, where he volunteered his time for years in different capacities to promote literature, where he got married, where his children received education and also got married and where his children’s children were born and now receive their education. This is the town where even his children and their spouses volunteer in different organizations and where Stephen Gill writes his books, poetry and fiction, for the world audience for peace. The population of his hometown, a peaceful city, remains the same, sixty thousand, that was decades ago, though it has modern health facilities and shopping centres which attract people from surrounding areas. He is afraid that such ugly incidents will contaminate the peace of his hometown. He blames dual citizenship between non-identical civilizations to have the potential to contaminate peace.
