Happy Makar Sankranti

Makar Sankranti is an Indian wide harvest festival. I wish everyone a joyous celebration today/tomorrow. For those wishing to learn, here's a link for explanation. http://www.deccanchronicle.com/15011...s-across-india

Here, we call it Pongal.

- kind of interesting in our global situation now, when harvest festivals go along with the immigrants. In actuality, it doesn't really make sense to celebrate a harvest festival at the end of harvest in the new country in the middle of January.
