Unfortunately I can’t.
You need to find when the full moon was in August that year.
I have been trying to find the link to a website I once knew, that keeps a record.
I am sure if you Google it you’ll find it.

Where are you off to next?
When are you going to write a blog on this trip?

VOF – was just like entering the heaven – I so much wanted to just stay there…darn -they do not allow people once sun goes down!!

join the club of the rakhee-depriveds of the world.

I thought you were tip-toeing amongst the alpines.
How was the trek?

Rakhee – even I never ever got one –

There is another day in our calendar,
when the sister put a mark (Tilak)on their brother(s) forehead,
praying for his/their long life.

Not having a sister, don’t know by how much, my life gets shortened.
At least I managed to get my century of posts.

The scientifically impossible I do right away
The spiritually miraculous takes a bit longer

I will look it up,
Bachodi has set me a small hometask.

Thanks for stopping by.

You can read about the History of Raksha bandhan in the Wikipedia site.

I remember in school some boys came with their wrists resembling a shrubbery.
I would just admire and envy.
Gradually it became,
rakhee? Oh yeah, means nothing to me – kind of a thing.

Now you mention it,
I vaguely remember having read about Alexander’s wife, but nothing in details. My homework for today.
