@padmalakshmi: Last night we celebrated Diwali with family and friends, old and new. It was a beautiful evening commemorating the triumph of light over darkness, as well as the triumph of knowledge and wisdom over ignorance. And for many of us, it was a wonderful salve for all the anxiety we’ve been feeling, especially as we face this week ahead. We hope and prayed for light and wisdom to prevail on Tuesday and whatever lies ahead, that we as a country have the strength to face it. Om Shanti. The talented musicians that you see and hear have become an extension of our family after playing in our home year after year. Thank you so much to Roopa, Arun, and his band for the special experience. Arun and his band have a new album out too – it’s called New Moon by the Arun Ramamurthy Trio! Check it out!! #Diwali #diwalilook #diwali2024 #carnaticmusic
