Lohri
- the bonfire festival mainly celebrated in northern India...
A good start of the new year,with happiness in the air cos of the festive mood among the farmers,who sow the seeds in October,harvest in April and relax in January and celebrate the festival of Lohri.

Back home we always celebrate it by having a huge bonfire lit in the frontyard of our house and all family people and neighbors gathering around the rising flames,circling around the bonfire,throwing popcorn,peanuts and other munchies in the fire.This is a kind of prayer to Agni-the Fire God.Then dancing around the fire on dhol is what adds to the fun...

For the enthusiastic and energetic Punjabis,its a symbolic of their love for fetes and light hearted flirtations...
If you have seen Veer-Zaara,you will know what I mean...

Lo aa gayi lohri ve,bana lo jodi ve
kalaayi koyi yun thaamo,na jaave chodi ve
Jhoot na boli ve,kukur na toli ve
jo tune khayeen thee kasme,ik ik todi ve...
