The funny thing is most young people do not care as much for these festivals as they seem to about celebrating Valentine's day. I guess it must have a lot to do with the mush and the gifts and the attention that goes with the festival. You can actually show-off something here. That said, Ramsena or anyone else has no constitutional authority or legal right to stop anyone from celebrating any day. That was just a cheap stunt they were pulling off which was smartly countered by the Pink chaddis! As for public display of affection you are right. This is not a culture that has seen much of it. Growing up I had never seen any display of physical affection between my parents and I refused to believe the truth about my conception when I learnt about it in Biology. :) Having stayed in India for a few months you already know that there is no lack of festivals or celebrations here.

Luckily we were totally fine - hope you were too! Yeah – people were talking about one of those gangs coming to Valencia St., but we decided to brave it and go out for dinner anyway.
