My first blog

Today, on the auspicious occasion of Vijayadasami (Dassera- a major Hindu festival), I am finally creating my own blog. My eyelids are already drooping now. It's shut-eye time now and I am weary from going on that crazy culinary spree for the Nine Nights Festival before Dassera, the Navaratri. Of course, I am a eleventh-hour person so I did all that crazy cooking of sweets and special items (with a generous dose of help from my helpful hubby) on the last three days,including today. Dassera is actually over and done with because Hindu festivals don't go by the English calendar dates; they are determined by the position of stars and other heavenly bodies. But for all practical purposes, today is the tenth day so I take it that way. More tomorrow.. Ciao
