Starting on a new note this Dusshera

The festival of Dussehra celebrates the victory of Good over Evil.
This is the day that Lord Rama defeated Ravana, the ten-headed demon. It is believed to be a lucky day for starting a new business
or for buying anything new.
It is a very auspicious day for people to clean their homes, get new furniture and cars. People decorate the entrance of their doors with a toran (floral arrangement) of mango leaves as a symbol of ushering in the new.
Any resolutions or unfinished chores forgotten over the New Year, Dussehra reminds you that you can still ring in the new.
For characters like JC, it is also a reminder to finish your household chores that may have been piling up for a long time!

Keeping the Gandhian Spirit Alive

Last week, Indians celebrated the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, a great man who followed the philosophies of non- violence, helping others and changing what he was unhappy with. While we remember the Mahatma only once every year, we need to believe that a single person can be powerful enough to make a difference. The will to see a change and an inner strength to make that change happen, is all it takes to make a difference in the country or even at your local society. Behind a revolution, there is always one great leader. And what is important to believe is that this change can be very simple, it can be something as basic as donating old books to underprivileged or not waste food keeping in mind the hungry.
As Gandhiji said,
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
