Songkran (Thailand)

Calatrava Wallpaper - Just my personal spiritual and self-enjoyment

Today is Songkran, which is Thai New Year. According to Wikipedia:

Songkran (Thai: เทศกาลสงกรานต์, pronounced [tʰêːt.sā.kāːn sǒŋ.krāːn]) is the Thai New Year's national holiday. Songkran is 13 April every year, but the holiday period extends from 14–15 April. In 2018 the Thai cabinet extended the festival nationwide to five days, 12–16 April, to enable citizens to travel home for the holiday. In 2019, the holiday will be observed 12–16 April as 13 April falls on a Saturday. The word "Songkran" comes from the Sanskrit word saṃkrānti (Devanāgarī: संक्रांति), literally "astrological passage", meaning transformation or change. The term was borrowed from Makar Sankranti, the name of a Hindu harvest festival celebrated in India in January to mark the arrival of spring. It coincides with the rising of Aries on the astrological chart and with the New Year of many calendars of South and Southeast Asia, in keeping with the Buddhist/Hindu solar calendar.
In Thailand, New Year is now officially celebrated on 1 January, Songkran was the official New Year until 1888, when it was switched to a fixed date of 1 April. Then in 1940, this date was shifted to 1 January. The traditional Thai New Year Songkran was transformed into a national holiday.

What have I done today? Nothing but work. But I had sometimes of my own to play around with some setting of my Work Phone (and my personal phone). It is a kind of personal gift to me. (By editing Calatrava logo to be used as a wallpaper on my phones.). I will definite spend some quality time later as in ritual and enjoyment.

Happy New Year to ALL.

Meanwhile, I will remain...

Cheers for now...
