Pongal

Jan. 14th is the Tamil festival Pongal. And like all other festivals, it is nostalgia time for me. As my mind travels back to my childhood days with my family, a time when every festival had its own significance for me….. and was eagerly awaited… if it was not crackers, then it was the sweets ( not really 'cause I am not a sweet lover )….. it was the family times, the new clothes….. the pujas….No longer so…. I often wonder why…. Why have festivals lost their charm?

Oh by the way .. I wish you all a Happy Pongal!
