Our tradition is to light lamps for the "aukshan" - while that of the "cake-menbatti" tradition is to blow out lights! (not to forget considerations for ushta/kharakata) :)<br /><br />And rather than birthday bumps - we should bring back the " vakun namaskar" tradition! :)<br /><br />So well said!Shruti Nargundkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724119392904144451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-33684569656185059652013-05-17T10:30:54.089+05:302013-05-17T10:30:54.089+05:30Even I cringe at icing being slathered on people. ...Even I cringe at icing being slathered on people.

Needless to say a hospital stay was required the next day.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261198258543182448noreply@blogger.com
