Dussehra.

KILL TEN (Dasha Hara) is a Sanskrit word which means removal of ten bad qualities within you...

                  1. Kama/Vaasana (Lust)

                  2. Krodha (Anger)

                  3. Moha (Attachment)

                  4. Lobha (Greed)

                  5. Mada (Over-pride)

                  6. Matsara (Jealousy)

                  7. Swartha (Selfishness)

                  8. Anyaaya (Injustice)

                  9. Amanavta (Cruelty)

                10. Ahankaara (Ego)

Hence, it is also known as Vijayadashami which means Vijaya (Victory) over these ten (Dasha) bad qualities.

There's yet another interpretation about it, which is, "Destruction of the Raavana in you"!

In Kerala, tomorrow is Dussehra.

The PN Panicker Foundation is organising a 'Digital Literacy Morning' at Chengalchoola in Thiruvananthapuram where children will impart the basics of digital literacy to the elders. 

Tailpiece.

Got up at 5, the chores and was ready by 10.

The maid was at work.

A quiet weekend.
