Thanks to John George Howard who turned over his country property to the city of Toronto in 1873 under the conditions that the park be for the free use, benefit and enjoyment by the Citizens of Toronto forever, and forever be called High Park. Two out of fifteen city counsellors voted against the acquisition because they felt that High Park was too far away from the city to be of any real use to its citizens ;)

Busy day today - I had a breastfeeding counsellor tutorial this morning (in which I did my first assessed presentation) then came into Putney this afternoon for the dual purpose of having a coffee (well, hot chocolate & a smoothie) with the lovely Jessica (Stella Bee) and Mia, and to ask in the places my father took Megan this morning whether they'd found a Noa - Dad managed to lose one this morning (as well as one of my favourite giddygiddy hairclips - grrrr). No sign of the Noa (so we're down to 3 now) but nice to think that Megan was having such a lovely time with her Grandpa she didn't mind too much.
This is the view from the balcony of the Putney Exchange shopping centre, where we were having our drinks, looking down on the flower stall on the ground floor.
A HIV positive woman listens to a HIV counsellor at the community clinic in Martissant, Port au Prince. She wanted to be tested again because she didn't believe the result of the previous HIV test. The result was positive again. UNICEF is supporting clinics all over Haiti to provide vital programs to treat HIV-positive pregnant women and to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT).

"Up yonder, among the green holly and red berries, is the Tumbler with his hands in his pockets, who wouldn't lie down, but whenever he was put upon the floor, persisted in rolling his fat body about, until he rolled himself still, and brought those lobster eyes of his to bear upon me—when I affected to laugh very much, but in my heart of hearts was extremely doubtful of him. Close beside him is that infernal snuff-box, out of which there sprang a demoniacal Counsellor in a black gown, with an obnoxious head of hair, and a red cloth mouth, wide open, who was not to be endured on any terms, but could not be put away either; for he used suddenly, in a highly magnified state, to fly out of Mammoth Snuff-boxes in dreams, when least expected. Nor is the frog with cobbler's wax on his tail, far off; for there was no knowing where he wouldn't jump; and when he flew over the candle, and came upon one's hand with that spotted back—red on a green ground—he was horrible. The cardboard lady in a blue-silk skirt, who was stood up against the candlestick to dance, and whom I see on the same branch, was milder, and was beautiful; but I can't say as much for the larger cardboard man, who used to be hung against the wall and pulled by a string; there was a sinister expression in that nose of his; and when he got his legs round his neck (which he very often did), he was ghastly, and not a creature to be alone with."
~Charles Dickens, A Christmas Tree
Some years ago while training to be a Counsellor part of the required reading was a book called "The Road less Travelled"! This was a most interesting book and was based on a poem by Robert Frost - The Road not Taken. There was a good reason for the young lady to take that path as it was the way home as she and some companions had finished their ride through "Massy's Woods". I just loved the rich emerald green of the foliage the dappled light and the docile obedience of the dog following along.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

Hsipaw Town, Shan State, Myanmar. The National League For Democracy is a social-democratic political party in Myanmar, currently serving as the governing party. Led by Aung San Suu Kyi, the State Counsellor of Myanmar (who under the constitution is unable to hold the office of President). Previously Military rule lasted from 1962 to 2011 however, the Military still controls most of the day-to-day affairs of the Country. Hence the title.
My friend Joseph is a Cree storyteller, singer/songwriter, musician, dancer, actor, educator, counsellor, keynote speaker, and more. I made this image during "warmups" for a professional shoot: he's wearing his Leonard Cohen hat, and I must have said something funny although I can't recall what. It's one of those spontaneous moments that I treasure. I went on to shoot more "dignified" portraits of him that day, but this one resonates for me. A respected Cree elder*, Joseph looks the part - but he is equally down-to-earth and his wisdom is usually laced with humour.
Here's a link to his website: josephnaytowhow.com/
Joseph is a part-time resident of Val Marie (when he isn't here he's either in Saskatoon or on the road as a much-in-demand speaker and performer). His long time partner and professional manager, artist Diana Chabros, runs a B & B just down the street from me: www.skystory.ca/home.html

Infante Dom Henry the Navigator of Portugal, son of King João I, became the main sponsor of exploration travels. In 1415, Portugal conquered Ceuta, its first overseas colony.
Throughout the 15th century, Portuguese explorers sailed the coast of Africa, establishing trading posts for tradable commodities such as firearms, spices, silver, gold, and slaves crossing Africa and India. In 1434 the first consignment of slaves was brought to Lisbon; slave trading was the most profitable branch of Portuguese commerce until the Indian subcontinent was reached. Due to the importation of the slaves as early as 1441, the kingdom of Portugal was able to establish a number of population of slaves throughout the Iberia due to its slave markets' dominance within Europe. Before the Age of Conquest began, the continental Europe already associated darker skin color with slave-class, attributing to the slaves of African origins. This sentiment traveled with the conquistadors when they began their explorations into the Americas. The predisposition inspired a lot of the entradas to seek slaves as part of the conquest..

I had a session with my counsellor yesterday, so took the rest of the morning off and headed into Kiama for some shopping, a walk, and some general relaxation. I bought a new dress (which I hope to feature in a later Frocktober post) and ordered a shirt for an event coming up later this year.
I have discussed my crossdressing with my counsellor in terms of it being a positive thing in terms of my mental well-being, but this was the first time she'd seen me dressed. She was suitably impressed, and thrilled to see this side of me for real.
Anyway, don't let any of this distract you from the fact that it's still Frocktober, and I'm stil wearing dresses throughput the month in order to raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

Dina Nath was civil administrator and counsellor of considerable influence at the Sikh court for well over three decades, was the son of a Kashmiri Pandit, Bakht Mal, who had migrated to Delhi in 1815, during the oppressive rule of the Afghan governors of the valley and obtained a berth in the Estate Office at Lahore. He was also closely related to Diwan Ganga Ram Raina, head of the military accounts and keeper of the privy seal at Lahore.
In 1815, at the instance of Diwan Ganga Ram Raina, Maharaja Ranjit Singh invited Dina Nath to Lahore and offered him the post of mutsaddi, or writer, in the department of military accounts.
In 1826, when Diwan Ganga Ram died, Dina Nath succeeded him as the head of military accounts department and keeper of the privy seal. In 1834, when Diwan Bhavani Das died, the Maharaja made him the head of the civil and finance office and conferred upon him, in 1838, the honorary title of Diwan.
By his ability and political acumen, Dina Nath rose to the highest position of power and influence in the affairs of the State. Lepel Griffin styles him the Talleyrand of the Punjab. After the Maharaja's death, Raja Dina Nath's influence increased. But Dina Nath knew how to keep his ambition in check and was one man in Lahore who made no enemies at the court. In the turbulent days following Ranjit Singh`s death, he refused to take sides with Rani Chand Kaur or Karivar Sher Singh. Sher Singh upon his succession to the throne reposed his full trust in him. Dina Nath retained his position at the court during.
He was one of the signatories to the treaty which was concluded between the Sikhs and the British after the First Sikh War. Later, when a council was constituted in December 1846 for the governance of the Punjab, Raja Dina Nath was made its President, with the active support of the British. He was the greatest man alive and most faithful to Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
Yet under the British rule he actively financed the independence efforts in secrecy. The family of Raja Dina Nath came originally from Kashmir, where in the reign of the Mughal King Shah Jahan, some members of it held offices relating to court affairs.
Dina Nath, whose father had a subordinate appointment at Delhi, came to the Punjab in 1815 and obtained a berth in the Estate Office at Lahore. He first attracted Ranjit Singh's notice in 1818 by the great rapidity and clearness with which he did some important work entrusted to him.
Among the men who rose to power during the later days of the Maharaja's life, no one was more remarkable than Raja Dina Nath. He was well and happily styled Talleyrand of the Punjab and his life and character bore a strong resemblance to those of the European statesmen.
Revolutions in which his friends and patrons perished passed him by: in the midst of bloodshed and assassination his life was never endangered. While confiscation and judicial robbery were the rule of the State, his wealth and power continually increased. His sagacity and far-sightedness were such that when to other eyes the political sky was clear, he could perceive the signs of coming storm, which warned him to desert a losing party, or a falling friend.
Honest men do not survive many revolutions, and the Raja's falseness was the means to his success. He was patriotic, but his love of country was subordinate to self. He hated the English bitterly, for they were stronger than he or his country, but his interest compelled him to serve, like Samson, the Philistines he hated.
He was not without his notions of fidelity, and would stand by a friend, as long as he could do so with safety to himself. Even when he deserted him it was more from thoughts of danger to his wealth and influence than from personal fear, for, Raja Dina Nath was physically brave, and also possessed moral courage in an eminent degree, though it did not lead him to do right regardless of consequences. He possessed immense local knowledge and vast capacity for work; but his desire of keeping power in his own hands had an evil effect on the progress of (State) business.
He was an accomplished man of the world, courteous and considerate; well educated though nothing of a scholar; and in conversation with Europeans he would express himself with a boldness and apparent candor that were as pleasant, as they are unusual in Asiatic. It was only in 1834 that Raja Dina Nath was made Finance Minister, for which his qualifications were exceedingly high, but Maharaja (Ranjit Singh) had for many years reposed confidence in him, and he was on all occasions of importance, one of his most talented advisers.
After the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, he retained great influence with the chiefs and the army, and on British occupation of Lahore was appointed to the Council of Regency, of which he was the most able and useful member. Although his position as the Head of Financial Department gave him many opportunities of enriching himself at the public expense, I of which there is every reason to believe he availed himself, he still worked more disinterestedly than others, and was of great service to the Resident of Lahore.
In November 1847, the title of the Raja of Kalanaur, with a jagir worth 20,000 rupees annually, was conferred upon him. With his clear head and business-like habits, it would have been almost impossible to disentangle the Darbar Accountancy, and after the annexation of the Punjab, Dina Nath's aid in Revenue and Jagir matters was almost as valuable as before.
At the time of revolt of Sikh army in 1848, it was asserted by some that Raja Dina Nath was a traitor at heart, that he himself had Encouraged the rising, and that had he not been a wealthy man with houses and gardens and many lakhs of rupees in Lahore, convenient for confiscation, he would have joined the rebels without hesitation, but these stories were perhaps invented by his enemies. Certain it is that on being recalled to Lahore, he zealously carried out the wishes of the British authorities in counteracting their (i.e. the rebels' anti-British) schemes.
After the annexation of the Punjab, Raja Dina Nath was confirmed in all of his jagirs, worth Rs. 46,460, which he held till his death in 1857. He died near Kot Khawaja Saeed, at Lahore, Pakistan. There he had developed a beautiful garden and it is still called as 'Rajay Wala Bagh'. The spot is a few meters away towards West from Samadhi Maharajah Sher Singh at Kot Khawaja Saeed, Lahore.
Haveli Dina Nath is situated in the Phoolon Wali Gali inside Delhi Gate, Lahore. The haveli had Mughal architecture. In the past, there was a small fountain in the courtyard of the haveli. Before the partition of India and Pakistan, there was a room inside the haveli which was used as a Hindu temple. After the partition in 1947, many parts of the Haveli Dina Nath were changed year by year because of the needs and wants of the residents of the Haveli.
Currently, the Haveli is visited by many visitors and tourists because of its unique historical importance. After independence, more than 50 families were residing inside the haveli. In 1978, the Haveli Dina Nath was sold by the owner of the haveli. The residents bought the particular portion of the haveli in which they were residing in. With the passage of time and exposure, families started to shift from the haveli and currently only 20 families are residing inside the haveli.

This is going to be a long one! After years of speaking to counsellors and being told, “happy for you to talk about IT, but it’s not part of our speciality”, I thought after 40 odd years of living like this, I needed to reach out and speak to someone who was!
I’ve been feeling pretty low, for the past few years. Combination of work, my medical condition, and life in general. And there is the now almost constant thoughts that I need to live my life different, but still stay with my wife. And that at the moment is a no-no, Kirsty is allowed, but he has to be here as well!
So early this year I braved and spoke to my GP, and to my pleasant surprise he was amazing. He asked loads of questions, very understanding, and asked was transition on the cards? Once he knew the story, he said that he was sure that there was something available, and after a little hiccup, I was referred to the local sexual health service.
A bit strange, but when I had my first session, I very quickly realised that it was the right place! I have never felt so comfortable talking about what some may call an issue, what I call life! We got over the boring stuff pretty quick, the fact that I’m living the wrong life, that I hate shaving(!), the fact that if I had to stop doing what I do I could but would hate it etc. Most of the hate things, I pulled a face! Even though I didn’t know….sub conscious! That was a weird experience! Having someone validate my thoughts, just by my look was surprisingly an amazing feeling! I always thought that it was just me brain saying what I wanted.
Yesterday the wife had her first appointment, and on the cards is a joint one! It came up in discussion that Kirsty has just been floating around for the last 20 years, (I am a lot older!), this is about the date we set our guidelines! If anything, this is getting us to talk about the elephant in the room, and hopefully make our life even better than what it is now.

Known for Nobel Price 1991 / World's most prominent political prisoner.
Aung San Suu Kyi Burmese: အောင်ဆန်းစုကြည်; born 19 June 1945) is a Burmese politician, diplomat, author, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate (1991). She is the leader of the National League for Democracy and the first and incumbent State Counsellor, a position akin to a prime minister. She is also the first woman to serve as Minister for Foreign Affairs, for the President's Office, for Electric Power and Energy, and for Education. From 2012 to 2016 she was an MP for Kawhmu Township to the House of Representatives.
The youngest daughter of Aung San, Father of the Nation of modern-day Myanmar, and Khin Kyi, Aung San Suu Kyi was born in Rangoon, British Burma. After graduating from the University of Delhi in 1964 and the University of Oxford in 1968, she worked at the United Nations for three years. She married Michael Aris in 1972, with whom she had two children. Aung San Suu Kyi rose to prominence in the 1988 Uprisings, and became the General Secretary of the National League for Democracy (NLD), which she had newly formed with the help of several retired army officials who criticized the military junta. In the 1990 elections, NLD won 81% of the seats in Parliament, but the results were nullified, as the military refused to hand over power, resulting in an international outcry. She had, however, already been detained under house arrest before the elections. She remained under house arrest for almost 15 of the 21 years from 1989 to 2010, becoming one of the world's most prominent political prisoners.
Her party boycotted the 2010 elections, resulting in a decisive victory for the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party. Aung San Suu Kyi became a Pyithu Hluttaw MP while her party won 43 of the 45 vacant seats in the 2012 by-elections. In the 2015 elections, her party won a landslide victory, taking 86% of the seats in the Assembly of the Union – well more than the 67% supermajority needed to ensure that its preferred candidates were elected President and Second Vice President in the Presidential Electoral College. Although she was prohibited from becoming the President due to a clause in the constitution – her late husband and children are foreign citizens – she assumed the newly created role of State Counsellor, a role akin to a Prime Minister or a head of government. Aung San Suu Kyi's honours include the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won in 1991. Time Magazine named her one of the "Children of Gandhi" and his spiritual heir to nonviolence.
Since ascending to the office of State Counsellor, Aung San Suu Kyi has drawn criticism from several countries, organisations and figures over her alleged inaction to the persecution of the Rohingya people in Rakhine State and refusal to accept that Myanmar's military has committed massacres. Under her leadership, Myanmar has also drawn criticism for prosecutions of journalists.
Aung San Suu Kyi was born on 19 June 1945 in Rangoon (now Yangon), British Burma. According to Peter Popham, she was born in a small village outside Rangoon called Hmway Saung.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma) for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights.

Although his position as the Head of Financial Department gave him many opportunities of enriching himself at the public expense, I of which there is every reason to believe he availed himself, he still worked more disinterestedly than others, and was of great service to the Resident of Lahore.
In November 1847, the title of the Raja of Kalanaur, with a jagir worth 20,000 rupees annually, was conferred upon him. With his clear head and business-like habits, it would have been almost impossible to disentangle the Darbar Accountancy, and after the annexation of the Punjab, Dina Nath's aid in Revenue and Jagir matters was almost as valuable as before.
At the time of revolt of Sikh army in 1848, it was asserted by some that Raja Dina Nath was a traitor at heart, that he himself had Encouraged the rising, and that had he not been a wealthy man with houses and gardens and many lakhs of rupees in Lahore, convenient for confiscation, he would have joined the rebels without hesitation, but these stories were perhaps invented by his enemies. Certain it is that on being recalled to Lahore, he zealously carried out the wishes of the British authorities in counteracting their (i.e. the rebels' anti-British) schemes.
After the annexation of the Punjab, Raja Dina Nath was confirmed in all of his jagirs, worth Rs. 46,460, which he held till his death in 1857. He died near Kot Khawaja Saeed, at Lahore, Pakistan. There he had developed a beautiful garden and it is still called as 'Rajay Wala Bagh'. The spot is a few meters away towards West from Samadhi Maharajah Sher Singh at Kot Khawaja Saeed, Lahore.
Haveli Dina Nath is situated in the Phoolon Wali Gali inside Delhi Gate, Lahore. The haveli had Mughal architecture. In the past, there was a small fountain in the courtyard of the haveli. Before the partition of India and Pakistan, there was a room inside the haveli which was used as a Hindu temple. After the partition in 1947, many parts of the Haveli Dina Nath were changed year by year because of the needs and wants of the residents of the Haveli.
Currently, the Haveli is visited by many visitors and tourists because of its unique historical importance. After independence, more than 50 families were residing inside the haveli. In 1978, the Haveli Dina Nath was sold by the owner of the haveli. The residents bought the particular portion of the haveli in which they were residing in. With the passage of time and exposure, families started to shift from the haveli and currently only 20 families are residing inside the haveli.

At his feet is the family crest of a cock pheasant, which is also at the head of his 2nd cousin another Sir Thomas Bromley 1555 at Wroxeter flic.kr/p/48ZsJh who left him an
allowance of 40 shillings a year for 10 years if he continued his legal studies:
Educated at Oxford later receiving a Bachelor of Civil Law degree , coming from a legal family, he entered the Inner Temple as a lawyer in 1547 becoming a member in the early 1550s.
In 1555 he was appointed as one of the auditors of the Inn’s steward, and in 1557 he was an auditor for the Treasurer in 1564 & Reader in 1566 becoming Treasurer in 1573.
Throughout the 1550s and 1560s he was successively MP for Bridgenorth, Wigan, and Guildford , and in 1566 as Recorder of London, he became MP for the City.
In 1569 he was made Solicitor-General. In this role, he sat
on the commission that tried the rebels of the Revolt of the
Northern Earls in 1569 & the treason trial of Thomas
Howard, Duke of Norfolk, as counsel for the Crown.
In 1579 he succeeded Sir Nicholas Bacon as Keeper of the Great Seal, with the title of Lord Chancellor;
In 1586 he was head of the commission which tried Mary
Queen of Scots for treason, - although he behaved with respect towards Mary, he believed her existence was incompatible with public safety and applied the Great Seal to her death warrant.
Possibly due to the strain of the trial and the queen's displeasure afterwards , he took to his bed dying shortly afterwards.
At the Inner Temple he was “remarkable for his proficiency and the regularity of his conduct”. He allegedly only took on cases when he felt convinced of their justice, first carefully screening all those presented to him; - perhaps as a result, he did not lose a case in 5 years. He was noted for his independence of judgment, as in the Thomas Knyvett case where he refused to issue a pardon despite the Queen’s displeasure. He was also said to be very free from religious bigotry; a Protestant himself, he attempted to soften the execution of the law against heretics.

Who are you…who are you really? What a lame question. Most people that ask that straight up are either people who suffer from a Dr. Phil alter ego or your school guidance counsellor. Or you know that kid that thinks he’s deep because he’s heard one song by Metric and thinks he’s hipster because he knows an indie band.
But if you’re by yourself, in your room, with nobody around to stifle a laugh you can’t deny that we all wonder that sometimes. I can give you the answer but it’s too hard to make an estimate when you’re always changing. One thing that I know though, is that you are selfish. Prideful. A sinner. Broken. Ect.
Now, now. Before you get all riled up and get yourself ready to leave some nasty comment take the time to think about it. Because I’m not judging you. I am just like you. Maybe even worse.
There are so many amazing things about you though, like that you’re beautiful, funny, smart, clever, a talented photographer, musician, writer, or you’re just really, really friendly. That made you feel better didn’t it? That’s something I’ve come to realize, today I felt amazing and beautiful and strong and just…happy. There’s nothing wrong in dwelling in that and living life for what it is…life. Just a day after another after another. But what happens when you keep taking these positives and try to cancel out the negatives? What happens when you run away from them because they are scary like Jonah had run from God?
When that happens you truly lose control over the tools that mould you. The people you hang out with become the person you end up being. The things you do in your spare time go from becoming habits to rituals to you as a whole. Those negatives that you bury under all these feel good feelings, traits, moments…they will rest there until you run out of cover ups. Then they will be all you have. They will be all of you.
“The righteous should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray.” (Proverbs 12:26)
Here’s the deal though, just like Jonah did, we have this foolish conception that what others can’t see…we can’t see. What we can’t see, God can’t see. But God does see it. He sees more than you even are capable of knowing. I know that may sound crazy but I cannot even count the times where I was lost and God showed me the wrongs of my heart, he showed me my insecurities, my fears and my hatred. Just two weeks ago I was at an alter call and just like that time at camp that I have told you about so many times, the speaker said “There is one more girl that needs to come to the front. You’re sitting on the edge, not fully jumping into God but not fully allowing the world to swallow you. You feel worthless. Valueless. You have thought about suicide. Even thought about plans for it.” There was more but it’s hard for me to say all of it. But you know what I did…my body shook in ways it has never shook. The Holy spirit just blast through me telling me to go. To go. To go. And I didn’t. At camp the same thing happened. Right after camp when I was on fire for God, ready for him to just consume me and fill me I got involved with a boy. Of course. I didn’t resist the temptation because I was too busy refusing God’s warning and wake up call.
Hannah, why are you tell us this? You see, I am in the EXACT same position once again. Being tempted. Being torn. Slipping and holding on at the same time. It’s all because I took my heart and saw the blackness and I tried to hide it deep inside my chest. Hoping people might be distracted by the make up on my face that makes me look pretty, or my differently styled clothes that I wear.
Just think about it…I hid that sinful, broken heart under a body that I tried to perfect thinking that might just change things. Maybe if I were perfect on the outside…people would just pass me by and not try and see the truth. This…is what lead me to start the seven truths and what lead me to do this here.
What do you do? Say? Act like? To hide yourself from the truth. To hide the truth from others.
“Whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.” 1 John 3:20
What ever feelings we feel, God is greater than that. Why be so ashamed and scared when this is what we have to live by: “As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."
Psalm 103:12. So if you ask yourself again, Who are you? What are you going to say? All the nice things? Nothing at all? Are you going to finally accept that you’re not perfect and open your heart to the iniquity that you hold?
Or are you going to stand and say you are redeemed by the most merciful and forgiving God? Because only after you’ve faced the truth will you know who you really are. And only then can you actually begin to learn to like yourself.
(I tagged Kelsey for many reasons. one, she took this and considered it and managed to touch me through her reading it. two, she's beautiful and so so talented. i really really encourage you to check her out. she's wonderful :) )
I work as a counsellor with in the NHS. and I find it ironic that as I invite my clients into the therapy room, that I ask them to take the blue chair.
The word blue is often connected to low mood / depression. Feeling blue, baby blues etc.
Even the obligatory box of tissues are blue!
Dina Nath was civil administrator and counsellor of considerable influence at the Sikh court for well over three decades, was the son of a Kashmiri Pandit, Bakht Mal, who had migrated to Delhi in 1815, during the oppressive rule of the Afghan governors of the valley and obtained a berth in the Estate Office at Lahore. He was also closely related to Diwan Ganga Ram Raina, head of the military accounts and keeper of the privy seal at Lahore.
In 1815, at the instance of Diwan Ganga Ram Raina, Maharaja Ranjit Singh invited Dina Nath to Lahore and offered him the post of mutsaddi, or writer, in the department of military accounts.
In 1826, when Diwan Ganga Ram died, Dina Nath succeeded him as the head of military accounts department and keeper of the privy seal. In 1834, when Diwan Bhavani Das died, the Maharaja made him the head of the civil and finance office and conferred upon him, in 1838, the honorary title of Diwan.
By his ability and political acumen, Dina Nath rose to the highest position of power and influence in the affairs of the State. Lepel Griffin styles him the Talleyrand of the Punjab. After the Maharaja's death, Raja Dina Nath's influence increased. But Dina Nath knew how to keep his ambition in check and was one man in Lahore who made no enemies at the court. In the turbulent days following Ranjit Singh`s death, he refused to take sides with Rani Chand Kaur or Karivar Sher Singh. Sher Singh upon his succession to the throne reposed his full trust in him. Dina Nath retained his position at the court during.
He was one of the signatories to the treaty which was concluded between the Sikhs and the British after the First Sikh War. Later, when a council was constituted in December 1846 for the governance of the Punjab, Raja Dina Nath was made its President, with the active support of the British. He was the greatest man alive and most faithful to Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
Yet under the British rule he actively financed the independence efforts in secrecy. The family of Raja Dina Nath came originally from Kashmir, where in the reign of the Mughal King Shah Jahan, some members of it held offices relating to court affairs.
Dina Nath, whose father had a subordinate appointment at Delhi, came to the Punjab in 1815 and obtained a berth in the Estate Office at Lahore. He first attracted Ranjit Singh's notice in 1818 by the great rapidity and clearness with which he did some important work entrusted to him.
Among the men who rose to power during the later days of the Maharaja's life, no one was more remarkable than Raja Dina Nath. He was well and happily styled Talleyrand of the Punjab and his life and character bore a strong resemblance to those of the European statesmen.
Revolutions in which his friends and patrons perished passed him by: in the midst of bloodshed and assassination his life was never endangered. While confiscation and judicial robbery were the rule of the State, his wealth and power continually increased. His sagacity and far-sightedness were such that when to other eyes the political sky was clear, he could perceive the signs of coming storm, which warned him to desert a losing party, or a falling friend.
Honest men do not survive many revolutions, and the Raja's falseness was the means to his success. He was patriotic, but his love of country was subordinate to self. He hated the English bitterly, for they were stronger than he or his country, but his interest compelled him to serve, like Samson, the Philistines he hated.
He was not without his notions of fidelity, and would stand by a friend, as long as he could do so with safety to himself. Even when he deserted him it was more from thoughts of danger to his wealth and influence than from personal fear, for, Raja Dina Nath was physically brave, and also possessed moral courage in an eminent degree, though it did not lead him to do right regardless of consequences. He possessed immense local knowledge and vast capacity for work; but his desire of keeping power in his own hands had an evil effect on the progress of (State) business.
He was an accomplished man of the world, courteous and considerate; well educated though nothing of a scholar; and in conversation with Europeans he would express himself with a boldness and apparent candor that were as pleasant, as they are unusual in Asiatic. It was only in 1834 that Raja Dina Nath was made Finance Minister, for which his qualifications were exceedingly high, but Maharaja (Ranjit Singh) had for many years reposed confidence in him, and he was on all occasions of importance, one of his most talented advisers.
After the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, he retained great influence with the chiefs and the army, and on British occupation of Lahore was appointed to the Council of Regency, of which he was the most able and useful member.

I got a rather terse email from a drug counsellor about this piece which she said was, irresponsible, Immature, ill informed, simplistic and lacking compassion for a terrible disease.
I kindly reminded her that taking crack when you are pregnant is irresponsible, immature and ill informed. And by the way I have immense sympathy for people who have an addiction I really do but I had to remind her its not a disease, you cant F**king catch crack addiction.
