Square Fourteen
Book: Read a book about a homecoming or set in India or with Indian characters.
Those Pricey Thakur Sisters by Anuja Chauhan (read by Avita Jay)
This was a suggestion by Mike Finn -- and he hasn't steered me wrong yet.
Task 1: Make an Indian dish or bake some Nankhatai (eggless cardamom cookies) – here's the recipe: https://www.tashasartisanfoods.com/bl...
Taking a pass on the Diwali tasks, this year.
Task 2: Goddess Lakshmi in her eightfold form is referred to as the Ashta-Lakshmi. Vidya-Lakshmi is the 7th of her 8 forms. "Vidya" means knowledge as well as education, not just degrees or diplomas from the university, but real all-round education. Thus, this form of Goddess Lakshmi is the giver of knowledge of the arts and sciences. – Which character from a book that you read this year could be a non-Indian version of Vidya-Lakshmi?
Bonus Task: Cleaning is a big part of this holiday: Choose one of your shelves, real or virtual, book or other shelf, and tidy / organize it. Give us the before and after photos.
