Sorry this is one day late but was in Birmingham until the early hours of this morning so didn't get around to posting.
Today was Aneel (my nephew)'s Lohri Party! Basically Lohri is a punjabi festival that is celebrated to mark the end of winter solstice and a celebration of the days getting longer and more sunlight. Burning a bonfire and throwing sesame seeds into the fire, is part of the ritual. After throwing it, people walk around the bonfire and wish for good things for the year to come. Obviously setting up a bonfire in the car park of a party hall is probably not the best idea and probably an arrestable offence, so drum barrel it was!
It was an amazing night, made even more amazing by gorgeous nephew who was slightly cranky and a bit teary, but surprisingly very happy on the dance floor....
