It is'nt as gloomy as it sounds, because we still have christmas coming before the end of the year. But then it is still four months away, and that is when my India holidays start, so this was practically the last long weekend for me this year.
There will be some day offs here and there, and a long weekend just before my holidays as I would be visiting my Sis's Graduation ceremony at Lancaster University in the second week of December. But the idea of four months without any holiday is still bearable, with the incentives at the end of it.
If I would have been in India, it would have been the start of the festive season. August, September and October marks major festivals for all the religions and cultures in India. The week before we had Rakshabandhan (I was planning to write a separate entry for that, but could get into the mood of writing), and last weekend we had Janmashtami (The birth anniversary of Lord Krishna).
Just like Rakshabandhan I am planning to write a detailed essay on Janmashtami as well, and guess what? I also have started a blog for my local Hindu Temple. I would be writing all my articles on Hinduism and it's values over there. The address is http://vaishnavinlondon.blogspot.com. I am also planning to start up a website with informations about the temple, but that is still in the conception phase, and will see how it materializes. But till then do visit my other blogs and drop a line of feedback on how to improve on anything and everything.
