The fourteenth day
Looking Back 2000-2009
The Fourteenth Day of the year is unique in a way, because that's when the Maghe Mela starts in Sikkim, it's the kite flying festival in North India, and it's time to eat curd and new flattened rice for Bihar and the adjoining provinces.
InMaharashtra, it's a sweet prepared of jaggery and sesame seeds that marks the day, and in the holy cities of the Hindus, there's the matter of a holy dip in the river, even though it may be freezing to the bone.
Happy Kite-flying to one and all this year.
