Gurupurnima message 2014

We've been feeling the heat of May in April – which is just not fair!

On 5 April this year is Chaitra amavasya. It is believed that by fasting on this day our ancestors will achieve liberation. It is followed by the beginning of Ram Navratri....

February weather here in the semi-arid zone of Rajasthan is anything but regular. It's foolish to pack away cold weather clothes until early March, as it can reach 34C during the day and dip down to 8C during the nights and early mornings and – as on 19 & 26 Feb – there can even be a little rain, and I mean really little!
