TRIUMPH

HAPPIIEEE DUSSHERRAA AND A VERY HAPPY DURGA POOJA

Hey all!

A very happy dusshera and durga pooja to YOU(yaa you who is sitting in front of your computer and reading this post...thank you for reading...be my regular visitor...and also comment if you wish). I am sorry if I am sounding mean...after all this post is all about happiness and about the celebration of the triumph of good over evil.
Now for all of you who all dont know about dusshera and durga pooja, read about it here.
Lemme tell you what me and my family does on this very auspicious day.
  • We go to near-by ramlila ground and enjoy the burning up of effigies of Ravana, Kumbhkaran and Meghnad.



  • We savor the jalebis.
                                                                        yummy!
  • We all have a off-day on Dusshera here in India, so it is family time and we all sit and do chit chat.


(Lord Rama killing Ravana, and bringing Sita back home )
 
(Goddess Durga killing Mahishasura)
 
So how do you all celebrate the festival?
 
Now dusshera is here,so lets gear up for diwali now...
 
 
MUCH LOVE
