For every season for every occasion we have special food and rituals

For strengthening bonds and tasting seasonal specialities festivals were the norm

Families gathered together or communities assembled

Rejoicing and spending quality time together

With families far flung with work pressures and commitments increasing

Festivals have lost the spirit and purpose and often gets reduced to mere rituals

The elders in the family are excited the most and begin to look forward to the gathering

They go to great lengths, stretch themselves to any extent to see that the details are not missed

I see it both my Ammas and often wonder if I'd have the fervor and spirit with which they keep things going...

Back to the symphony that binds us...

A fixed routine was followed till the woman of the house vanished suddenly resentment and pain loomed large

Lasya and II the new entrants in the fold are reason for cheer and celebrations

Ranjan goes all out to make each of the girls and the dude feel special and loved despite his state...physical...emotional and the mounting pressures at work

Elders by the way they live their life teach us no management guru or degree can

Savour the fervor, the spirit, the affection...good wishes to all on Onam, Varalakshmi pooja, Rakshabandhan to Tam brahms Avani Avittam and Gayathri weekend

Hello everyone!

I hope you guys are enjoying your festivities - sadhya, varalaxmi pooja and the works!

Nisha I loved the Raksha Bhandan family photo op 😳 and the banter/ interaction that followed. II's bhallafication is almost home 😊.


What caught my eye was the bro-sis hug. Brother ready to set " his bags down" while sister is amazed at the tenderness that M has displayed towards her. Poor troubled Manny. Still true to colour wants her bro to visit her - to read on her living room couch..

Poor thing she needs to know there's someone who will travel half way across the globe and be there for her. Do really little other than twirling his hair and reading but a real live person being there just FOR HER. II would have gouged Manny's eyes out. Of course she must 😉 . She does have a big stake in Rakshasan and she's now bringing to be assertive 😉.

Isn't it awesome her tantrums have disappeared and it's just rightful indignation and expressed thoughts!! Way to go NISHA 👏

Mentioning the warmth in the update would be stating the obvious you are as always outstanding!

Hellooo! So far power is there. Yippee... let's hope it stays on at least the weekend. Ate pooja food and then now logged in 😊

How is everyone? Putti, I remember you had asked about me. Not completely all right yet. Still feel awfully tired but much better than a couple of days ago. Thanks for following up on me sweetie.
