Lohri!

One of my favourite Festival, hence I thought it deserves at least one post :)
So this is how is goes (for the unaware), you dress up. Light a bonfire. Go in circles around it. Eat and throw popcorn/til/puffer rice. Sounds like fun right? :P
Throughout childhood, Lohri has been that one festival which always turns out to be very exciting. Whether it was in the unit or with family or the rather adventurous one with HC, they've all had this peculiar charm which sticks on!!
And how can i forget the one last year, with the music and the Samara and the wall climbing madness with street dancing et al.
There's something about it, it makes me miss my dear dear Punjab so very much:) with the colourful phulkaris and the dhol, the singing and dancing...its a very Punjabi affair!
With each handful of til you throw into the fire, you burn away a bit of evil. evil within you and around you. And believe it or not, there is that incredible sense of relief every time you do it :) Its our way of doing away with all the wrongs and starting afresh.
So heres wishing you a rather colourful, happy, mad Lohri :) :)
