Ugadi | Festival

-
  
The New year festival or Ugadi comes close on the heels of Holi. While the strong colors of Holi start fading away, the freshness of spring lingers on with sprightliness all around. The flame of the forest (trees with bright red flowers that blossom during holi) are in full bloom signifying an affluent season.It is believed that the creator of the Hindu pantheon Lord Brahma started creation on this day - Chaitra suddha padhyami or the Ugadi day. Also the great Indian Mathematician Bhaskaracharya's calculations proclaimed the Ugadi day from the sunrise on as the beginning of the new year, new month and new day. The onset of spring also marks a beginning of new life with plants (barren until now) acquiring new life, shoots and leaves. Spring is considered the first season of the year hence also heralding a new year and a new beginning. The vibrancy of life and verdent fields, meadows full of colorful blossoms signifies growth, prosperity and well-being.s

With the coming of Ugadi, the naturally perfumed jasmines (mallepulu) spread a sweet fragrance which is perhaps unmatched by any other in nature's own creation! While large garlands of jasmine are offered to Gods in homes and temples, jasmine flowers woven in clusters adorn the braids of women.

Smoking is a good career move if you want early retirement and would like to use up your sick leave. You will always have something to do with your hands. To avoid headaches later in the day, always have a cigarette first thing in the morning. If you work with explosives, you have a handy method of lighting the fuse. On New Years Eve you don't have to go out to the fireworks. Just dip your cigarette into a jar of ground up sparklers. Amuse your friends and be the life of the party by blowing smoke rings. Always discard your butts in flower pots and garden beds as it helps fertilize the plants and keeps insects away. Occasional house fires will help keep firemen employed.
