MICHHAMI DUKKADAM
Thats for all the jains out there!
For the non-jain readers of my blog, yesterday was the end of a religious phase of 8 days. During the 8 days, practising jains meditate and either fast (completely - no food!) or try and eat a simpler diet without garlic, potatoes etc...
Every year Shams dad tries to make Sham not eat meat for this 8 days... sorry dad, he didnt manage it again!
At the end of the 8 days we all say the phrase above to eachother. It basically means we are asking for forgiveness if we have offended, hurt or upset you.
This year, we have a few family members that did fast. Congrats Bhavin... hope your new wife was supportive!
If anyone wants to know a bit more, good old wiki is the best place I have found!
