The worst thing about being away from home hits you when festivals arrive, I think. Here I am today, on a festival day, getting ready to go to work and no celebration at all. Today is the RAKSHA BANDHAN DAY; translation "PROTECTIVE BOND"day. It's the day for brothers and sisters and I'm far away from my brother. I will miss the joy and celebration happening back home not to mention all those sweets!!!
My blessings and best wishes are with them though. Hope they get all the happiness in the world and remain healthy and level-headed.
