Happy Dhanteras

Fri 1 November

A week has already past since finishing my volunteer program.   Further words to describe my feelings about this time include enriched and blessed, a direct consequence of being selected and undertaking this wonderful adventure.  It feels surreal and so incredible to have experienced what I've experienced over the past couple of weeks. 

Today is Dhanteras, one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar.  It marks the commencement of the famous five-day Hindu festival Diwali.  On this day, Hindu's worship the Goddess Lakshmi to provide prosperity and well being.  Dhanteras is especially significant in the business world, considered the best day to purchase precious metals and jewellery.  Given this, I now own a darling pair earrings to mark this day and my life changing time in India. 

Homeward bound this evening.  Endless feelings I currently feel, endless thoughts I currently think... 

Namaste x
