haah....kal hai "khichdi"....subhaan-allaah.......ek kati patang aur udate armaan...."BHAAK-KATE"..
Banaras.....a "City Of Celebrations" and "Khichdii" adding to its glory and beauty........
it all begins with various sorts of preparations like variety of stuffs being prepared at home....laddoooooz.....and the guys busy in buying the "Patang" and "lataai/pareti/manjhaa".......
....the entire market flooded with various sorts of food stuffs...and the colorful patang/pareti/lataai/manjha/saddi/resham.......
.....and here comes the day "MAKARSAKRANTI" as is waiting for the sky to be painted with wonderful colors....the day begins with traditional Puja..and then some home made stuffs.....laddoooozz especially....then lands the "heroes" of the day with rang-birangi "patang" and " lataai/pareti"........the very interestng and amusing thing is the shapes/sizes/names of the patang...."jahaaja/bareily/kawwi/teer...etc"....hehehe.......must have also heard the "tipu -slutaan " manjha.......hihihi......
Places where one can actually see how Varanasi looks on this especial day are the "Pakke-Muhalle" of Banaras and the "ghats" of Banaras......one can only find kites flying above their head......and the people shouting like anything.....to their max......BHAAK-KATE......the entire atmosphere echoing with this.....people,irrespective of their age, enjoy themselves to their max........
just let yourself out and enjoy this day to its max...........HAPPY KHICHDI....HAPPY MAKARSAKRANTI.............
