Accidental long thread on Indian migration 🇮🇳 to Colombia 🇨🇴🧵

There is this pet salón near my home that I sometimes take my pets to. In the last 2 years in this neighborhood, I would have taken them there 4 times. Today was one such day.
(1) The pet stylist casually asked me if I was from India. This is not an unusual question, as I get this type of question in different versions- some assume, some ask, some greet (saying Namaste) etc. I answered yes, "of course I am from India".
(2)

Ya no estás más a mi lado, corazón
En el alma solo tengo soledad
Y si ya no puedo verte, ¿Por qué diso me hizo quererte
Para hacerme sufrir más?

Siempre fuiste la razón de mi existir
Adorarte para mí fue religión
Y en tus brazos encontraba el amor que me Brindaba el calor de tu pasión

Es la historia de un amor, como no hay otro igual
Que me hizo comprender, todo el bien, todo el mal
Que le dio luz a mi vida, apagándola después
Ay, que noche tan oscura, sin tu amor yo moriré

About 10 years ago, I reached Colombia with 2 suit cases and with zero idea of I will survive here. Tabio was my first adventure outside Bogotá on my own. I realized that small towns here are no different to our own. Tabio therefore has a special place in my heart.
#Tabio As a person with a passion for history and culture with no spanish skills, Tabio accepted me with open arms and thanks to all good souls, I have made friends that are now for life. I learnt and experienced the power of #CirculoDePalabras here.

Facts about Christmas:
1. Traditionally Romans celebrated the day of the winter solstice on 24th December with a feast.
2. Around 290 CE Diocletian, being the sun worshipper added yet another holiday called the "Feast of the Sol Invictus" to the Roman Calendar. 3. In council of nicea, one of the debated topics was about the birthday of Jesus, as there were no historical records of his birth. The only surviving materials were the 40 odd testaments most of which were written years after Jesus's death.

Parallels from Roman history are here to see.The Christian emperors of Rome did not destroy the pagan religions over night.
They took a step by step approach.
1.First family of Rome converted to Christianity
2.Council of Nicaea to determine among other things divinity of Jesus. 3. Fusión of indigenous and pagan beliefs into the Catholic system, including appropriation of "feast of the invincible Sun" getting converted to Christmas.
4. The whole idea of attending to the sick and poor, rights to women were over blown. Vestal virgins for instance.
