Happy Diwali- 2008.

Wish you a Happy and Prosperous Diwali.

The picture attached here is a Sky-Lamp put up in our house in Calgary. It feels good when we put on the lamp. It gives us a feeling of Diwali.

We had an Diwali Get together last Friday. Around 17 families and few bachelors were part of it. About 70 people celebrated Diwali. We shall come back on this with some more inputs sometime in this week. Khatri family had invited their friends on Diwali Faral. It was also a good Diwali evening.

Spectacular Calgary.

The sky was spectacular on Sunday 5th. The photos are saying it all. Canada is said to be number one in natural sky-lighting. Thanks to Vijay Krishna for sharing the photos.

"Happy Dushehra"

Dushehra, also called Vijayadashmi, and culminates the nine-day Navaratri celebrations. It commemorates the death of the evil king Ravana along with his son Meghanatha and brother Kumbhakarna.

According to the Ramayana, Rama was the exiled prince of Ayodhya. While living in the forest, his wife Sita was abducted by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka. Rama attacked Lanka to rescue her. Sugriv, the king of monkeys assisted him with an army of monkeys. A fierce battle ensued between the two armies for many days. It was proving very difficult to beat the mighty Ravana. Rama then prayed for nine days to nine different aspects of Durga (also Navaratri) and accumulated enough strength to defeat Ravana.

Photo Spree to Eating Spree!!

A week ago we, AbhiShilpa, Sawai, Satolekar & Jangam, decided to go Photo-Spree on Saturday... as mother nature is changing color these days. And the scenery or backdrop for photography is very beautiful. However it was rainy today (Saturday) and we cancelled to go out and decided to enjoy in the house instead.

See the slideshow-video attached below to see our Photo-Spree converted to Eating-Spree!!
