Any ritual that you follow that is unique to your family or community?

I'm not a big fan of Halloween. I find it funny that everyone buys candy, passes it around, and we all end up with the same amount of candy as we started. Then most of us throw it away because no one can eat that much candy.

Seems like a scam that the sugar industry foisted on all of us.

I don’t mind the candy so much if someone gets everyone together and organises a Halloween piñata activity. The kids have fun beating the container; the adults get some laughs; and the atmosphere is pushed to extraordinary heights when the piñata bursts and everyone snatches for the candy haha

No plans for Halloween, not celebrated here as you know.

But we have Dussehra and Diwali coming up - the biggest indian festival season - we do have lot of planned and unplanned things coming up.

This year I've decided to manage the ramleela -a play that's being played for 9 nights leading to Dussehra depicting the Ramayana.

we celebrate Diwali in Singapore, but only get one day as a public holiday because the Indians are a minority race here

are you gonna perform in the ramleela?

reply

No, I'm gonna oversee the management of the Ramleela committee in my town.

We get about a week holiday for Diwali and 3-4 days on Dussehra.
