Vishu
This Vishu, marks the beginning of a new era for our Mutiny.
Not only do we have a new design but we have changed our servers too.
Please do let us know what you think about the new design.
If you are wondering what Vishu is, here is a bit of info from Wikipedia.
Vishu is a festival held in the state of Kerala (and adjoining areas of Tamil Nadu) around the first day in the Malayalam month of Medam (April – May). This occasion signifies the Sun’s transit to the zodiac Mesha Mesha Raasi as per Indian astrological calculations. Vishu is also considered as the Malayalam New Year day and thus the importance of this day to all Malayalees regardless of their religion or sect. Similarly the day is celebrated in almost all places in India by the Hindus albeit by different names. In Assam this day is called Bihu, in Punjab Baisakhi and in Tamil Nadu Puthandu. The word “Vishu” in Sanskrit means “equal”. Therefore Vishu is more probably denoting one of the equinox days.
