Festivals are always something that will remain forever fresh in our mind. Celebrations in way of sharing good times, comes more with sharing food among other things. And I can still remember each and every occasion that has gone by. Mostly of course. Till I started working, every festival was eagerly awaited and enjoyed, a we sure will have a day off.
