S: Sir ji, Shivratri nahin hai kal? (Sir, isn't it Shivratri tomorrow?)
P: Nahin, aj hi hai mera khayal. (No, I think it's today.)
S: Achha, kyunki kal kaafi sangat sadak te jaaoondi vekhi si main. (Ok, because I saw a procession in the streets yesterday).
P: Hmm...
S: Eh Shiv bhagwan ohi nahin see jo ke bhang bade chaa naal peende ne? (Isn't Lord Shiva the one who enjoys drinking bhang?)
P: Haan ji, ohi ne. (Yes, the same).
S: Achha, taan phir Shivratri nu bhang vee mildi honi hai. Mildi hai? (Ok, then bhang must be served on Shivratri, isn't it?)
P: Nahin ji, mere khyalon bhang taan nahi mildi. (I don't think so.)
S (disappointed): Kyun?! Jiven guru, ovein chela honda hai! Leh! Eh vi koi gal hoi! (Why?! Disciples are just like the guru. What is this?!)

Bhang is served on shivratri though, in some temples. Thandai is served in almost all shiv temples I know of.
You have to be a Chandigarhia to understand... the wonders created by the unlikely cultural interactions!
