Dear Friend,
I write to you from Heaven.
A Heaven accorded excusively for me.
For being the Best Villian of all times.
An award for Evil – you might wonder!

I acted with the best of my abilities.
How can the Hero exist without me?
An opponent like me was needed.
This is the no

Lets all the dreams come to flow .
Drive the evils from you and lets do a throw.
lets pray to god to remove all the bad feelings from our hearts.
and do a promise to us and with all,
to not to give birth to any Ravana inside us,
who don’t have any faith on lord.
thought from heart:A beautiful relationship

The 150 year old tradition is a festival where more Muslims than Hindus can be found, giving communal

Have been to Ranchi and back. Fed like a fat cow. Meals every two hours, desserts every other. This has nothing to do with the festive season, every trip home is like this. But this time I had been to see the famed Dusshera pandals. As much as I force myself to marvel the effort and imagination that has gone into the c

Welcome all
To the land of jubilation!
Where everyday is a celebration
And every moment a carnival
Only India is that nation
Where life is a festival.
The dawn of New Year
The spark of Lohri
The sweetness of Pongal
The grandeur of Republic Day
The mourning of Muharram
The romance of Valentine’s Day
The auspiciousness

In a few days I think. I don’t have any business with random festivals unless they are about lots of lights and chocolates. So poor Dussehra remains only about a day off from college.
Yesterday’s evening walk with Swati was about getting to see jhaanki [procession, for the angrez and NRIs] and band-baaja. C
