What does it cost to have a celebration?

Got this from a friend today.... I was lost in memories of few such moments after reading this. So true and wonderful, isn't it?

What does it cost to have a celebration?

A winter evening.

Four friends.
One barsaat.
Four glasses of chai.

Hundred bucks of gas.
A rusty old bike.
And an open road.

Maggi noodles.
A hostel room.
4.25 a.m.

3 old friends.
3 separate cities.
3 coffee mugs.
1 internet messenger.

Rain on a hot tin roof.
Pakoras deep-frying.
Neighbours dropping in.
A party.

You and mom.
A summer night.
A bottle of coconut oil.
A head massage.
Gossiping about absent family members.

You can spend hundreds on birthdays,
thousands on festivals,
lakhs on weddings,
but to celebrate all you have to do is spend your Time.
