Today is Dusserha, a popular Hindu festival also known as Vijayadashmi ('Vijay' meaning 'victory' and 'Dashmi meaning 'tenth day'). It celebrates the day Lord Rama killed the demon-king, Ravana and rescued his abducted wife Sita. So it is the victory of Good against Evil.

So, you are probably wondering what it has to do with my stomach? Well, one of my co-workers who is Indian and knows that I love Indian food brought me, as a surprise, an Indian lunch composed of a vegetarian byriani (rice dish), crackers and sweets. I was very touched by this gesture! The food, cooked by his wife, was simply delicious! The byriani had a nice kick and I could not believe that the crackers were homemade! I will try to get the recipe for you...and for me!

So, Happy Holiday to all my Indian friends, co worker and readers! With this awesome lunch, I felt I was celebrating with you!

And remember: I Just Want To Eat!
