Modaks are made for Ganesh Chaturthi
Chhapan Bhog for Janmashtami
Birthdays are celebrated with Birthday cakes
Wedding Anniversaries, if you are lucky, merit a candle-light tete-a-tete
Any occasion is occasion enough for shingara-mishti-chai
After a funeral comes the feast
But for anniversaries of days like 25 June, 6 December and now, 5 August
What is appropriate?
It seems only appropriate to fast, and even more appropriate, now, to observe a maun-vrat
