Happy Lohri Guys !!...



Happy Lohri Guys!!...
Guess what just 2 mins back I was just sitting in the cots laid out in our campus lawns and enjoying the bonfire warmth admist delhi's chilly winter air .....
.....surrounded by family and friends alike and eating up on yummy peanuts , rabri ,gajak comboss...
Woo!!! mann and all my heart echoed was..I just LOVVEE this country..;-)
Lemme explain...a simple thot struck me while i sat there looking at people enjoying the love in the air ..made me so happy that i was born here not in the US OF A.. woopsie or even Mr. UK
..
Coz as I wondered to myself .."would i find somthing so special and simple anywhere in the world??".My mind answered in an impulse "NO"...and i was reminded of Govinda dood's song...
THISSSSSS HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA..and no prizes for guesss i for sure love India..;-)
(touchwud... hope it rocks like this forevr and stops chasing only the depressing materialistic european ways to life and not the gud ones )
I WUD UNDERSTAND IF U ENVY ME FOR I WAS BORN HERE ..
For i have famliy , love,values and culture which all the world keeps craving for
..and no money in the world could buy
For like the master card ad says ..Some things in life like such moments are priceless for everything else there's a master card or even mr. cash..:-P would do i guess..

NOTE: For those of you who don't know this festival is a special one celebrated acroos north india and punjab especially. A festival that has no religious significance but holds a great social significance . A day celebrated as a day of imparting social love to one and all ..aprt from marking the harvesting season in Punjab and the end of the winter season..(i luv winters though..:(..sad they have to say bye bye..)
