Today’s Halloween that’s what I read and heard when I woke up in the morning, usually I used to think Halloween’s on Friday the 13th that usually comes once in a year. As, Asian we are very excited about western custom’s, I still remember the first time I saw at a Halloween pumpkin was in some English movie and quickly identified it with some thing horrifying. I really have no idea about history or existence of Halloween day except that on this day the spirits of the dead are running free. In India, we donot basically have a day where we celebrate the one day freedom of the dead as such,but unofficially every full moon the spirits have the permit to possess or terrify people. Being in a country where every small little thing is considered superstitious, WE are immune to such stories which the western civilization are creepy about. I don’t feel even in west this day has any significance apart from wearing weird costumes and partying hard the whole night. Well for many of us it will be another working Tuesday…good luck with the SPIRITS…either the liquid or the Super-natural.
