Carnival Day - Leading us to Lenten Time

Today is Carnival all over the world. In some Catholic places in India it is celebrated with a lot of fun and frolic. The celebration goes on till mid night and then for 40 days no celebrations whatsoever.  Carnival brings people together.  Lent
 Most of the people who fast are people who devote their time, energy and money towards a good cause. Things are changing a lot. It is good to see some of the people giving up and sacrificing for the sake of the others during the Lent.
 In Mumbai we call Itros and celebrations are held all over Mumbai especially East Indian communities. Lot of programs are held today and many make promises to give up bad habits and behavior. Some of them keep up beyond the lenten season
