I guess, thats how they started. To socialize and enjoy thru these occasions. Take a break from the usual routine and celebrate. Religion to these occasions is a like adding rules to your life. Without rules, life is chaotic! FOr instance, if there was no rule like male and female toilets have to be separate.....imagine the mess it wud create!! :pmegshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760582404004300738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22555281.post-62331427790698405452006-12-17T07:20:00.000+05:302006-12-17T07:20:00.000+05:30Hey thHey thAmit Kulkarnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352238546378097880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22555281.post-1159858692386426442006-10-03T12:28:00.000+05:302006-10-03T12:28:00.000+05:30Liked your take on cultural festivities.

Visited your post while googling for "Bijoya wishes" since could not think of a proper way to convey the wishes to a finicky professor.So I gues this is also an issue during festivals for people who are not in the "IN Crowd" of festivities. <BR/>And some amusement : http://www.chrisbeach.co.uk/viewQuotes.php5vd33p74https://www.blogger.com/profile/13209074557555210575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22555281.post-1159375377685123912006-09-27T22:12:00.000+05:302006-09-27T22:12:00.000+05:30happy Pujo to you!happy Pujo to you!M (tread softly upon)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17663502888158468025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22555281.post-1158913195203614562006-09-22T13:49:00.000+05:302006-09-22T13:49:00.000+05:30@Maven: Yeah, "insiders" are often notorious for m...@Maven: Yeah, "insiders" are often notorious for missing the forest for the trees. It takes an outsider to realise how much fun can be had all around!<BR/><BR/>@Mithun: Of course, it is written by a girl, so the focus is of course on shopping and clothes. And yes, you and I think alike, because of a certain characteristic we both share. Now I wonder what that could be, hmm?<BR/><BR/>@s.k.: There are a lot of such instances, but I hope it doesn't come to the notice of the powers that be, or else they will start a name-change drive soon or something.<BR/><BR/>@Anshuman: Nevertheless?

I had missed out the part about holidays and being able to club a few days with the weekends to make a nice long extended trip home.<BR/>----------------------------<BR/><BR/>Two of the festivals mentioned in the post start next week.
