Yesterday was an important day (Samvatsari) for Jainas.. On this day, according to Jaina custom one asks for forgiveness (not from gods but ones who were hurt) for one's deeds that might have hurt them. As gujarat has a sizeable Jaina population its become a pretty common practice amongst gujjus to call others (especially their Jain friends/family) to say "Michchhami Dukkadam".
So friends please accept my "Michchhami Dukkadam"
More details from google..
