Note from the Editor: This year, Dussehra falls on a Sunday—which is a working day for the splainer team (as we get ready for our Monday edition). Since our team will be taking that day off, we will not be publishing splainer on Monday as usual. So we will see you all on Tuesday am—with lots of good stuff as usual! Wishing you all a long and festive weekend! Happy, happy Dussehra to all!
