Lohri is a festival we celebrate in India specifically in Northern parts of India. It marks the end of winter and celebration of harvesting of crops, and worshiping by the farmers. In Punjab, people often have kite flying event on this day. It's a beautiful view to watch. It is on 13th January. I am really excited for it. We people have a bonfire during 13th night every year, we eat "Gachak, Revri, and Nuts, many other things, we dance and sing. It is a beautiful celebration in our place. I am very excited for it. Two days to go for it to come. What are your plans for the upcoming weekend?

It is called Makar Sankranti; however I am not good in Kite flying; and there are so many pegions around, and modern kite strings are very bad, they hurt pegions.
