🌟 Happy Lohri! 🌟
Back in 2000, I arrived in Chandigarh to execute the Reliance Telecom
Project, and what began as a professional venture has turned into a
24-year-long love affair with the vibrant Punjabi culture. Over the years, I’ve
embraced every tradition and celebration, soaking in the unmatched warmth of
this land and its people.
Among the many festivals that define Punjab’s rich heritage, Lohri holds a
special place. It marks the end of the chilly winter and the joyous arrival of
longer days and the harvest season. It’s a time to celebrate the bounty of
nature—wheat, sugarcane, mustard, and more—as farmers rejoice in the fruits of
their labor.
What makes Lohri even more special is its connection to new beginnings.
Newlyweds and parents of newborns celebrate this festival with added fervor,
seeking blessings from the divine for a prosperous and joyful life ahead. The
bonfires burn brighter with their dreams and prayers, filling the air with hope
and happiness.
The festival comes alive with the crackling warmth of bonfires, spirited
dances, and the sweet aroma of rewaris, gajak, and groundnuts being shared.
Lohri isn’t just a celebration; it’s a heartfelt expression of gratitude to
nature for prosperity and a hopeful prayer for an even brighter future.
This Lohri, as the flames rise high, let’s celebrate resilience,
togetherness, and the blessings of abundance. Here’s to new beginnings,
bountiful harvests, and endless joy.
Happy Lohri to all! 🙏✨
