@vanfan...lol!! I agree...enough!!! Now that you mentioned it, a cheerful topic will be most welcome!!! But what?? Please do think of something, so we can all mull it over and come up with some interesting perspectives/responses...as usual!! So my dear Van, or any of you lovely ladies, we need a light cheerful topic ...any ideas?? Don't be shy now!!😉😊!!!
@indi I will try and not respond to you. Please do not think I am ignoring you. Trying to change the topic here. Ok. Here is one idea. Bhagonwali was very rich in showing the culture and rituals. Most of them I am very familiar with but some of them actually did not make sense to me. To some extent I found it funny. Anyone remembers anything nice or odd about things seen on BBAT? (A request. Do NOT mention any rituals from "N's wedding." 😡I did not even bother watching those episodes.) I would like to mention two in particular:
1. After G confesses his love and they do the puja next day before the laddu feeding scene, Amma is seen giving certain stuff to R to save it in her cupboard forever. We have that kind of ritual too where certain things are kept away for good luck. But it is non perishable stuff like black beads, dry turmeric piece, small metal pot, sometimes a small amount of flower petals which dries with time and does not rot etc but I was taken aback when R rolled fresh fruits in that bundle. 😲It will rot inside the cupboard and how long can you keep that and what happens after that? Anyone aware of keeping fruits in the cupboard?
2. Another funny thing I noticed was when G & R enter LN after G purchase it and renames it, they break and coconut which is a very common ritual but G took the coconut and threw it behind his back without looking. I was taken aback. It would be funny 😆(or not so funny😕) if it hit someone on the head while walking on the street? I have seen coconuts being broken from front after asking people to move away and I have seen light stuff like rice or puffed rice being thrown on the back without looking but never seen a coconut being thrown that way. Does anyone else know this ritual?
Most of the others I saw were common or did not cause me to raise a brow. Does anyone have anything they saw which was strange or funny?😛
