All of august flew by with not a day to spare, and all this month, I was to be honest, figuring out a small trivia I came across much to my amusement. At the moment though I figure is much more real than I believed ... It read, most birthdays in a year fall in august, and the least in February, and most criminals are born in November. At first I laughed at the thought of such a statistic, but to my utmost disbelief, each day of the past month, I have been flitting from one birthday to the other. August has been the month of babies, birthdays and more. And well it is the beginning of autumn, monsoon, harvest, and most of all the festivities. From this part of the year, there is no stopping us, we have had Eid celebration, already , rakhee, Krishna jayanthi , and soon navrathri , and diwali to follow. And I have not even mentioned the number of engagements, sangeeths, baaraths, and weddings that has been lined up during the latter part of the year. So Mehendi has queued up for you a whole array of options to decide on the sort of wedding details you would like to choose from.
