We’ve had the opportunity to talk about Ramadan on Applegeeks because Hawk is a character in the strip … but in the same sense it’s always been a little more difficult to write about my own Hindu background since there’s no framework for it. It’s also always been easier for me to write about people other than myself … but anyway, I took the plunge and did a Diwali write-up over at Johnny Wander. If you have a moment and you’re curious, please take a look.

I wish my religion was interesting… =[
all faiths are interesting, just have to dig deeper and find the really interesting stories and rituals. on another note isnt the one with the elephant head the son of shiva and pavati?
i never heard that story before, or indeed much about the Hindu religion before at all. Thanks very much for the education! I now feel much more worldly.
i think the correct term is enlightened, and yes its nice to learn about other religions, especially from those who practice it and not in a classroom, gives you a different perspective.
Okay, so Diwali is definitely not for me. I have the opposite of a foot fetish, so if I had to touch the feet of my elders, I’d die a little on the inside every time. That, or I would disrespect them by immediately running to the sink to wash my hands.
