The Festival that every sheep in town dreads

Hari Raya Haji on Nov 17. The cheapest sacrificial sheep goes at half a thousand se-ekor - not cheap at all.

More unfamilar sights

Walking down 16 flights of stairs, sweating out there in office attire with another three thousand colleagues while creating another equally large crowd of onlookers - all in the name of a fire drill, simulating a fire on the 5th floor of our 38 storey high office building.



Accidents like fire or road accidents has this unexplainable ability to draw attentions. What is so fascinating about such events ? I remember as a kid, our dad drove all the way to town just to watch a fire rescue at Kg. Air.

An unfamiliar sight.....

The printing mills stopped working , newspaper delivery vans headed towards Hindu temples, the air is filled with sweet scent of jasmine and radio station turned upbeat with Tamil songs - Happy Deepavali to all my Hindu friends
