August comes with festival mood starting with Rakhi (Raksha Bandhan). Three more major festivals await us during this month like Krishna Janmashtami (next week,) Id ul Fitr in the third week and Onam towards the end of the month, bringing joy and happiness to all.
As usual, we have new writers this month too with their varied contributions. Please take a moment to welcome them and encourage them with your comments. (Please leave your name while commenting at least at the end. Anonymous comments are not encouraged.)
Join us in reading the eJournal and hope you too will enjoy this issue as much as we did in bringing this out to you.
