The clock is ticking really fast! We are soon going to change the calendar year. After a month filled with pious festivities and holidays, the eleventh and penultimate month of the year, November, has reserved statehood days, auspicious occasions and events of national and global interest. According to the traditional Hindu Calendar, Kartika and Agrahayana are the lunar months corresponding to November.
