pretty innit?

it's karthigai and wee bit of history on this day is that when lord muruga, one of the many hindhu deities, was born (or descended to earth) in six big water lilies (yes there were six of him and he later on joined his, err other selfs to become one) he was looked after by six maiden girls.. hence, in honour of their labour, they become stars when they died..

it is believed that on this night and the consecutive two, there will be six brightly shining stars.. I THINK

but it's raining anyhows and the sky is all cloudy.. you still could check out the skies if you want to brave the wet and cold tho..
