I don’t see the point of making a festival into gender celebrations.

Aur satayi hui ladki? Uska kya? Uska moonh band kardo? Yeh sahi hai.

I don't either. I prefer it to be about the winter solstice rather than the ladka paida hua toh ab jashan manao.

You are like my Mom. She says that we should practice and not indulge in faaltu ke discussions.

Mera bas yeh hai ki. Don’t make pregnant woman stressed about kya hoga. And if it’s girl, you tell her — koi baat nahi. Are kya baat hui yar. She just delivered a baby after 9 months and this is how you welcome that baby?
Jo bhi hai. Kid hai. And that kid will fill the house with so much happiness. Gender doesn’t matter!

Yes this gender thing is unacceptable. Anyone will lose calm.

Losers hi aisa sochte hain.

Exactly kids are kids and let them be!

Even I think that way. Unki soch unko Mubarak. I just avoid talking or arguing on things that make no sense to me.

It's funny because I was thinking of dropping by to Norway after my contract gets finished in Spain. But iske baad mein kyun jaoon? Phir se taane sun ne ke liye?

Ladki bhaag jayegi. What nonsense. If my mom ever finds out phir toh Phuparji ki khair nahi. 🤣

Exactly! And it's not like the baby knows whether it's a boy or a girl. Gender is something that's taught to them. So why are you as an adult being so difficult towards it? Just be happy that a healthy child was born. Agar khushi nahi aati toh bhaad mein jao.

A relative told me this story a few years back. Apparently, when I was born, my Maasi's MIL came to meet my mom and newborn me. And she was like, "Ladki hui hai thik hai, dil chhota mat karna. Badi hogi toh humare grandson se shaadi karwa denge uski, aap uski shaadi ka tension mat lo." And my mom told her that we would never marry our daughter into your family 😆

Totally. A healthy baby is a blessing.

Mein bhi yehi bolti hoon.. if can’t say good things, stay mum. Chup raho ekdum.

OMG. Paida hote hi rishtaa aa gaya aur teri mummy ne mana bhi kar diya 🤣 The best answer she gave.

Loll, Idek anything about these festivals. Jaise manani hai manaye jaye. But ek baat toh meine taan li, mein na kabhi lohri manao. Agar in-laws ne force bhi kiya toh shart par karungi ki agar ladki hui uske liye bhi karni hogi.

I mean, I can understand all this happening back in the day because boys were everything to them but nowadays too?? Why???

But Lohri has nothing to do with gender.

It's a huge bonfire with the entire family during the peak of winter. It's to celebrate the oncoming summer and welcome the sun in the northern hemisphere or something.

Winters are generally harsh on people and when they don't have proper amenities to fight the cold, it can get very daunting. So in a way this festival brings hopes to people that the worst is over. It's also an indication of the harvest of Rabi crops.

In my family, we have loads of fun, all dancing and enjoying around the fire in the biting cold weather. Plus, we celebrate it each year, not for the birth of kids.
