All over the temples are these cool figures of angles - guys with wings. Frequently they have hooked noses for some reason. But I like them mostly for the variety of character they have, fat, thin, jolly. Turns out these are not angels, but eagles. A very specific eagle named Garuda.
Anyway Garuda's birthday, or Garuda Jayanti, is August Eighth, and this year of course is 08.08.08. It would seem to me to be very auspicious?!
Back in High School I played in an annual trivia quiz with friends. The final question was the Super Garuda. Kind of like a Jayanti Garuda, except Kaushik tells me I can't say it that way.
