Vijayadashami ki hardik shubhkamnayein — sach ki jeet ho, jhooth ki vidai ho.

May this Dussehra burn down one bad habit you've been protecting.

The effigy burns in minutes; the lesson is supposed to last a lifetime.

Every Dussehra asks the same quiet question: which side are you feeding?

Ram akela nahi jeeta — Hanuman, Sugriv, aur sacchai bhi saath thi.
