Celebrating Lohri

Not so long ago I had posted how we celebrate all the festivals of all the religions at our place. We went and celebrated Lohri with our punjabi friends today evening. Betu was super excited and when he saw we were among the handful ones who had arrived at the celebration point, he started to shout at the top of his voice "Happy Lohri". When I asked him to be a bit quiet he told me "Sab log so rahe hain. Lohri manani hai na isliye sabko bula raha hoon." I had no words looking at his enthusiasm and I let him shout and call out to everyone :)

Here are the two pics from the celebrations -

    Wonderful ! In the south, this is called Bogi ! But its all the same i guess.

    And i love the way you celebrate all festivals. It inspires that sanity still prevails in the world !!

    I feel if we all had the emotions like that of the kid. He is totally remote from the cast, creed and bias. I doubt if any adult would have the courage to say what your son could speak aloud
