It's like that Hitler's Swastika Is The Reverse of The Hindu Swastika
thingy....
The Sydney Public Library was built in the late 1800's and has a
number of "fylfot" inlaid in the tile floor. They've had to put up
informative plaques explaining the difference between them and the
Nazi swastika.
Thought of you and Debbie a lot during this Deepavali.
Sydney has a large south asian population, it was a lot of fun seeing
people dressed up and celebrating Diwali - and knowing what was going
on. :) I wished a number of people on the street a happy Diwali,
somewhat to their surprise I think. :)
We have a housekeeper here who's from Fiji but of Indian origin, she
"casually" mentioned to us that Diwali was coming up and hinted that a
gift might be appropriate. It made me homesick for India.
