Do not

burn old things on bhogi festival. Its ridiculous!! >.< From my perspective, I will say a big 'No' to bhogi!!

Well, what is bhogi? Bhogi is the first day of Pongal and is celebrated in honor of Lord Indra, "the God of Clouds and Rains" in order as thanksgiving or harvest festival celebrated in South India at the end harvest season. Bhogi was in line with the dictum ‘pazhayana kazhidhalum pudhiyana pughudhalum’ (old should go and new should enter) for making more smoke that curled up and fused with the January fog making visibility poor, lol!! The ritual was to burn collections discarded during the year to make bonfire. Anything inflammable was game. Old mats were hot favorites ryt now.  Bald tyres, cane chairs, carpentry waste — anything in disuse — but held on to, went up in crackling flames. Setting fire to those things eventually results in air pollution.

Definition??

Enough said. Aren't need more!!!

Celebrating Ponggal is a cool thing if you ask me and yes 'it is' (>always be<) ,but there are something unhandled, puzzling situations which givin me an uncomfortable state( continuously perhaps).
Its a ritual thing actually. I'm not against of it. Just a lil bit concern and curious of why they performing such actions?? Are they not aware of the consequences of open burning or still stuck up with so-called-ritual-thing-that-you-should-follow no matter what happens to our mother nature??

But you people really wana burn unwanted things on that day (if you really2 insist), then go ahead. I mean burning them in small amount does help the environment preserve abit. Global warming is something that is threatening our earth. No idea how many of us are aware of it till now.

“Burn unwanted things from home so it is kept clean. Once a year.” (oh yeahh, thats cool!!>>>givin-that-whatever-look to those irresponsible retards)

Well,
Perish your unwanted thoughts and blot out unpleasant incidents of the day so the mind will be clean like a freshly wiped slate the next day. Will they do that?

I highly doubt it..

-Happy Ponggal peeps-
