Tonight I was communicating with some off shore Sys Admins that work in my group.  Oct 9th is an important festival in their calendar,  Dasara which commemorates the triumph of good over evil and which honors Mother Durga amongst others in their pantheon.

At the end of doing our business , I sent him the line "Jai Mata Durga" and he responded with "Jai Mata Di.

I regularly speak with these guys who are on the same team with me but who live on the other  side of the planet. They are quite interested that I understand some aspects of their faith, and honor their pantheism. Most of the other American team members know absolutely nothing about their lives and their ways.
