		<description>Vishu is the festival of harvest of Dravidians in India, and there is no relation with rama and vanvas. The Aryans were making these stories related to Rama and ramayana.  The question is that why should the arians making this type of fake tales ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????   
According to WIKI, you can see that the VISHU is celebrated in Dravida majority area in India 
Vishu (Malayalam:????)(Tulu:????) is a new year festival celebrated in the state of Kerala, India. It is similar to the New Year festivals observed elsewhere in India like Baisakhi (Punjab), Bihu (Assam), Naba Barsha (Bengal), Bisu (Tulu Nadu region in Karnataka), (Vishuva Sankranti) in Orissa Puthandu (Tamil Nadu) and Ugadi in(Andhra Pradesh) . Vishu generally falls on April 14 of the Gregorian calendar. This occasion signifies the Sun&#039;s transit to the zodiac - Mesha Raasi (first zodiac sign) as per Indian astrological calculations and astronomically represents the vernal equinox. &quot;Vishu&quot; in Sanskrit means &quot;equal&quot;. Therefore Vishu is more probably denoting one of the equinox days. Although Vishu (first of Medam) is the astrological new year day of Kerala, the official Malayalam new year falls on the first month of Chingam (August - September). However, 1st of Chingam has no significance either astrologically or astronomically. Chingam is the harvest season in Kerala and southern parts of coastal Karnataka.</description>

		<description>This is the only time in India where crackers are burst. In most other places, like in the North, crackers go off during Diwali.</description>

Its really surprised me when i came to see your blogs. I never seen you directly but once upon a time you were a big motivation to me. I hope when i was studying in 5th standard my mom used to tell me like&quot; Dear son your photo should come in newspaper like this&quot;. And i was dreamed abt it for 5 year, at the end of the day i realised i cant. Any way i am sanal residing abu dhabi working as a Security certificate admin in UAE Exchange. Nice to meet you</description>
