Does any wonderful occasion in India go by without eating sweets? Specifically laddoo? A mesmerizing ball shaped sweet made from the combination of ghee, gram flour, sugar, dry fruit on top and loads of love and best wishes.
We thought of the major times when we all get to eat laddoos and trust us we did not have to think much.
Even our dieties adore them and how! Ask anyone in India what prashaad they are offering to God? Laddoo!
Let us celebrate with laddoos then!
Births come with instructions of eating laddoos no matter how far or how near the relation is!
Where are the laddoos?
No festival, we repeat, no festival in India is complete without laddoos being offered and eaten joyously.
Rishta pakka (we became families!)- laddoo!
Engagement- laddoo!
Boy drops in for a surprise visit, gets laddoos, is fed- laddoos!
Wedding functions begin- Get 10 kg laddoos
Wedding- laddoos everywhere
And the funniest thing- after the laddoos get over, people still keep craving for more.
We won't even care whether to know the chap has actually cleared the exams or not, what percentage he got, whether he is happy or not, we just ask, laddoo kahan hain (where are the laddoos)!
Haven't you seen English Vinglish? Laddoos were, are and will always remain a big deal in Bollywood!
Remember how we were given laddoos in small packets on Republic Day? Damn! Those were the real days. March past and speeches never felt boring just for the sake of the glimpse of this wonderful delight that used to be distributed later.
How can someone not remember this? Election results bankrupt the sweets shop and all you see is laddoos everywhere, colonies, cities, head offices, TVs, everywhere. The politicians are seen distributing, sharing and gobbling up tons of laddoos!
