I belong to the country India and India has 28 official languages. I speak a language called Telugu and I belong to Telugu community. Why Indian people even though follow babylonian calendar for official purposes and corporate related things, however when it comes to festivals and traditional related things, we follow our own astrology and our own dates according to the star alignment. And according to astrology, yesterday we celebrated our Telugu new year. The usual ritual is waking up, praying, reading astrology psychic readings for our zodiacs and making the food offerings that I attached to God.
.
The food offering is not like any normal food that we offer it actually has some meaning to it. That food is made to represent 5 tastes of life that is sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and non-tasting one. The food teaches humans that life is made of so many different situations and emotions and just like how mixing all of them are making this food delicious, we too have to enjoy life as it is with all those emotions and stop hating each other. The ingredients represent each taste. Raw Mango represents non-tasting ness, tamarind represents sour, neem flowers represents bitterness, jaggery represents sweet and pepper represents spicyness. All of these are mixed to make this semi solid liquidy food and extremely delicious 😋.

I had fun at Mom's house for this festival and she also made me sweets. Brother gifted me and daughter with new clothes. Overall, my zodiac read that sagittarius will have a nice year ahead but there's a lot of possibility of getting cheated financially and got advice never to lend money to others no matter what.

Thanks for visiting guys.
