GEORGE TOWN: Work has kept dance teacher K. Jeyalakshmy from going home to Pondicherry, India, for Deepavali for the past eight years.

“I usually go back to India several times a year, but never during Deepavali because we always have dance performances at this time,” said the 34-year-old, who teaches classical and modern dance at the Temple of Fine Arts (TFA) here.
