Navaratri series - Vijayadasami, Day 10

I wish you all a very 'Happy Vijayadasami'. As for the Navaratri series posts, it ends today! Though it is 'Navratri' - 9 nights, it officially ends on the 10th day where we do special pooja and complete the 9 days vrat/fasting. This day is considered to be the most auspicious day to start any new task! Schools generally open on this day after the dasara holidays!

I remember my cousin was waiting for this day so that she can put her kid to school. OMG! He is the naughtiest kid I have ever known! So how many of you are the proud parents of toddlers who have grown big enough to become Pre-schoolers? I surely can say that, now you will have a lot of free time! Your 'me' time.

As everyone would be, I am completely tired after the pooja work and a good massage is highly appreciated. oh! where is the spa near my place? Have you ever been to spa? when I hear the word spa... OK I am diverting here. I will surely share my one time 'spa experience' which I still brag about.
