I didn't know that rooster fights existed in TN too. I heard about the bull fights though. Didn't know about Dhanush's movie too...is it available on You tube? If yes, does it have subtitles? Let me know if it has, then I will watch it.<br />Glad I could make you learn a new thing from my blog :P<br /><br />Thank you for all the comments and compliments.

You are absolutely right. Sankranti is more about memories than rituals. As I was reading through, I was reminiscing of all the wonderful times I have had. Snacks and sweets were obviously the highlights. And yeah.. the rooster fights are big in Tamil Nadu too. And you might probably know that there is a very good movie based on that too. It is called “Aadukalam” in Tamil and Dhanush won a national award for that. Lovely and nostalgic post. :)<br /><br />Btw… I didn’t know what Sankranti meant. And wouldn’t have googled that in a life time. So thank you. :)<br />Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138309630324239186noreply@blogger.com
