It's nice to see greetings, but sometimes these feel like just a social media formality. I wish there was more substantial action to support the farmers whose harvest we are celebrating. The real tribute would be better policies for them.

As someone living abroad, seeing President Murmu's message for Indians worldwide really touched me. Festivals like these make us feel connected to home. Missing the smell of rewari and gur and the warmth of the bonfire today.

The CM of Uttarakhand is right. Our folk festivals do infuse new energy. After Lohri bonfire and feast with family, I always feel refreshed and ready for the new year. It's a reset button for the soul. Good wishes to everyone celebrating!

While the greetings are appreciated, I hope the spirit of "mutual brotherhood" mentioned by the leaders translates into real harmony on the ground throughout the year, not just during festivals. That would be the real celebration.
