Very true Abhijeet! Forums have proved to be very beneficial for me too, and for everyone else, no doubts about it. The things we learn by interacting here are things that we could never have learned otherwise!

I always consider 'Forums' as a treasure chest of knowledge and all about the things in Vogue. In this regard Article writing is easy, where you have enough time to think and you can add bit by bit and piece by piece to the article.
In forums you should have ready wit at the same time you should have ability to add something more to add 'Flavour' to the thread.

Forums discussions can throw an idea to write up an entire article. The way we answer here, can be expanded with more points to make it a long article.

Ugadi is being celebrated in AP today. Here are my advance Ugadi greetings to you and your family.

We celebrate Ugadi on the 14th of April every year, however I wish Happy Ugadi to all the members who clebrate it today... :)

Is the date 14th April fixed ? We have a few families from Karnataka living in our neighbourhood and they celebrate Gudi Padwa exactly like us today, so how come yours is on a different day?

In Karnataka too, people celebrate Ugadi on this day ( Chandramana Ugadi ) but a few communities in Mangalore ,Coorg and North Kanara celebrate it on the 14th of April ( Sauramana Ugadi) which is a fixed day every year !

Oh ok! I get it, So you celebrate the Sauramana Ugadi which coincides with the movement of the sun, isn't it?

Yes Kalyani we do, in fact even Krishna ashtami is celebrated differently here ...on two different days by different followers ...again for the same reason !

Yes , I had read about Krishna Ashtami, but did not know about Ugadi being celebrated on two different days in the same state! It is almost like the Bohris celebrating eid one day prior to the Shia and Sunni Muslims! I guess such minor differences will always be there in a country so vast and diverse! :cheer:

A few communities in Tamilnadu and all Thulu speaking people celebrate Ugadi on the 14th of April every year....I have a feeling it has to do with agricultural season as well ! We have the custom of bringing in tender paddy kernels into the house on that day and it is ready only during then.... :)

I wonder how these practices vary from place to place. For us in AP Mango is the main ingredient of Ugadi celebrations. We make a Prasadam consisting of 'Shad Ruchis" or 6 tastes that represent the lives of the people. Then it is followed by "Panchanga Sravanam" where in the Pundits predict the possible happenings during the new year.
