Lavana
The Lavana are a Hindu caste found in the state of Rajasthan in India.
History and origin
The Lavana are a branch of the larger Rajput vansh community of North India. They claim descent from the Rajput community, and the word lavana also means salt in Hindi, and the community’s traditional occupation was the peddling and transportation of salt.
Present circumstances
The Lavana are an endogamous community. They have eleven exogamous clans, namely the Dharawat, Dhogan, Basi, Gundalia, Datnawat, Anderia, Tageria, Kalchana, Baluda, Lakhrond, and Bakrea. All these clans have equal status.
The community is traditionally associated with cattle trading, but many are now farmers, or landless agricultural labourers.

Eternity
by: Lea FinnIm so glad that Ive found you
Everything is oh, so new
Youre the sun inside my heart
I will never be apart... from you
Youre the reason why my heart is trembling
Everytime I look at you
Wanna feel this way forever
From now on until eternity
Thought wed never love again
Doesnt't't matter where or when
But weve found our love so true
And I love to be found... in you
Youre the reason why my heart is trembling
Everytime I look at you
Wanna feel this way forever
From now on until eternity
Eternity, ooh
[instrumental]
Oh oh oh
Youre the reason why my heart is trembling
Everytime I look at you
Wanna feel this way forever
From now on until eternity
Youre the reason why my skies are blue
My heart is full of happiness
Youre my hero, you're my everything
From now until eternity
Eternity
