the sound of morning prayers.......

was woken up this morning by the singing of prayers coming from the loudspeakers from the nearby mosque, which is facing my bedroom window. checked my bedsideclock to find it is not even 7am....and the prayers are still going on {even as i'm finished typing this entry....}.
today is a special day for the muslim community, their 'new year', after a month of fasting. and so today is a public holiday here. (so i would have liked to sleep in a little longer..... )
the indian community also had a holiday last saturday as well, celebrating the festival of lights, which symbolizes the victory of light over darkness...

we are living in a land of many cultures and religions....
