Happy New Year!

It's been a while, I can't believe two years have come and gone but HL has remained steadily in the background. This year I'd like to introduce the Be Kind Series, with all the bullying happening I wanted to get people thinking to just Be Kind. Some are humorous some are not either way please get the word out to Be Kind to one another!

• Be Kind, join the conga line!
• Be Kind, don't whine!
• Be Kind, to those on the front line!
• Be Kind, get in line!
• Be Kind, lend a lifeline!
• Be Kind, love mankind!
• Be Kind, keep an open mind!
• Be Kind, meet me at the picket line!
• Be Kind, don't throw prickly pines!
• Be Kind, respect private lines!
• Be Kind, respect what's mine!
• Be Kind, help those behind!
• Be Kind, don't peek through window blinds!

2008 Zee Heritage India Festival

I was at the Zee Heritage India Festival this past weekend. It was a two day event held at the Dulles Expo in Chantilly. The event brought together the spirit of India that lives in the VA, MD and DC area. However I met a lot of vendors who came from all over including North Carolina, New Jersey and Georgia. There was clothing, jewelry, furniture, food, music, movies and entertainment for everyone. There was also a new indian pop star who performed, Rimi Basu and a lot of amazing young talent from the local indian community. Overall it was a wonderful event and I met a lot of wonderful people. If you did not have a chance to visit the Happy Laddu table please check happyladdu.com for more events that I will be attending or send an email to laddu@happyladdu.com with Subscribe in the subject line to join the hL newsletter.

Muslim Fun Fest 08

Yesterday I, happy Laddu, made my first show appearance at the Muslim Fun Fest 08. At first I thought the weather would ruin the day but thankfully the clouds cleared up, the sun came out and it was a beautiful day for a festival. I met a lot of wonderful people. Thank you to everyone who stopped by my table and for all the positive feedback I received. I'll be posting pictures to the happy laddus section from yesterday's event.

Also a very big thank you to Ismael, who helped out and modeled our best selling "Got Kebabs?" Tshirt!

FOB

FOB stands for several things:

• Fall Out Boy
  
• Free on Board
• According to investopedia.com that means:

• A trade term requiring the seller to deliver goods on board a vessel designated by the buyer. The seller fulfills its obligations to deliver when the goods have passed over the ship's rail.

• Fresh Off the Boat (Most Popular!)

Whichever definition you prefer, I'm sure this shirt will satisfy you:
