Happy Onam

Grand cleaning of the house, waking up so early, getting an early shower, dressing up in traditional clothes, and most importantly the sumptuous feast that Mamma started preparing even before crack of dawn. Finally I understand the reason behind all this. 

Happy Onam! 

The day started with the prayers and rituals. As always, I did a good job of praying with Ma, Dadda. 

After Ma offered Naivedhya to Lord Krishna, it was we kids' turn. Seeing each other doing a good job, inspired us to do good too.

Apparently there was a big conversation going on about aunties getting to eat the food while uncles were serving them. Didn't quite get what it was though.

After all the hard work, the men got to enjoy the grand meal. Thanks to Radha Aunty for making Sambhar and especially for the yumm payasam :)

While the elders were enjoying the food, we kids were having a great time too. Although we were under continous monitoring - first by Krishna uncle, followed by Deepa and Radhika Aunty.

Thank you all for being a part of our family on this special occasion. We had a great time.

We kids gave a 'Kodak Moment' to all elders before they left.

Happy Onam Ars, Achacha, Achamma, Nanu, Ammamma, Vellyamma, Tuttu, Vellyachcha and Hashu Mama. We missed you all on this special day.
