Be it sweltering heat or a fun outing with friends, a cold glass of lassi is often our choice of drink.

In fact, lassi is one of the most popular beverages in India, along with tea and filter coffee.

World Emoji Day is around the corner and I request Unicode to add a lassi emoji on WhatsApp for us.

The beverage is not only famous in India but also abroad. Restaurants in several countries make and serve lassi to thousands everyday. The drink made of curd, water, spices and sometimes a dash of “namak shamak” has several health benefits as well. It is known to help digestion, improve bone health, boost the immune system and it is a good source of probiotics.

Please sign my petition so that Unicode gives lassi a place in its emoji library. Let us give this desi and tasty drink its due.
