Now we are into Super Size Festival season. Today is the birthday of Krishna, an avatar of the creator God Vishnu whose story begins before he was born and continues to this day with the wisdom he imparted on karma still recited today in that divinely holy book of life instruction, the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna was born into your usual dysfunctional family, his jealous and paranoid uncle was a terrorist with a soft heart for his sister.

Happy Holi
Sometimes it seems as if every day in India is a festival, its another reason I love being there. Everyday festivals become an affirmation of life, from the twice daily puja practised in the home to the Big Fat Festivals of which Holi is one.
