Vijaydashmi

It’s good morning for me at 2:15am. Had a hard day yesterday, gave the worst exam of my life and slept like a log in the evening. Thank God yesterday is over.
Today it is VijayDashmi (Dussehra) in India
. It is a festival that celebrates the victory of Lord Rama (the good) over Ravana (the evil). The festivities last for ten days and Ramlila - an enactment of the life of Rama is played in every nook and corner of towns and cities. Its really beautiful and vibrant there at this time. I think I am missing not being in India.
