A barrage of public holidays

Today's Pateti, the Parsi New Year. Tuesday is Raksha Bandhan, the festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. We then have Ganesh Chaturthi, Eid and several other holidays to start off a season of festivities that lasts until the end of December.

Given my hectic schedule, I won't complain about the fact that the university will remain closed on all those days besides giving a month-long Diwali vacation. Seriously though, India needs to curb down on holidays. The sheer number is mind-boggling.
