I am spending a semester teaching at a school in Chennai, India and the teacher from Chennai is in my classroom in Hazel Park, MI. This was arranged through the Fulbright Classroom Teacher Exchange Program. We will be in Chennai until late January 2012.

New Moon Pumpkins

The day we saw the melons covered in red powder was a new moon. They were actually pumpkins. Apparently, evil spirits are particularly active when there is no moon and the offering provides some protection. Good to know.
