Teeyan Festival (Women's Day)

Good Morning all, yesterday was a day well spent. I attended the Teeyan Festival (Women's Day) and it was so well organized, thanks to my friend Parm Takhar. Let me try and show you the festival through my eyes. I walked through the gate into a world full of beautiful bright colors. In this event were stalls of Henna where women and children were lined up to get their henna done, stalls with beautiful Indian jewelry, very glamorous Indian outfits, delicious food and ice cream. Up ahead was the stage which was professionally decorated with bright colors and cultural artifacts. It gave a good taste of India. And on this stage were some amazing performances by women and children. This was a great way to show strength, talent and motivation to others in the audience. IT was so nice to see all the happy faces everywhere you turned.

Asha Sharma and Parm Takhar were hosting the event so elegantly. They made the audience laugh, smile and go in awe, all at the same time. Recognition of women's strength was a big part of this event. We should give more financial, physical and emotional support to events like this to bring out women's true value. Let's all give Parm Takhar a big applaud for putting together such an amazing event!! Thanks Parm for making me a part of this wonderful event... Keep up the great work!!
