Last year there were no celebrations or festivities in our house. It was a year of “remembering dad”.
This year we started celebrating again with the Varalakshmi, then Krishna Jayanthi, Aavaniavittam, Ganesha Chathurthi and finally we are ending with the Navarathri festivities. Life has thrown a few curveballs in the last few months and every event ended up with memories that made it not blog worthy.
Finally getting to share some photos from those events in the blog, before we get to the kolu padis..
Let’s go one step at a time..and I made them all collages..
Food that completely covers the carb, fat, sugar ternary phase diagram..
Then there is photos I send to my mom after completing each poojai or prayer… you can see the improvement in my knee from the smile on my face after sitting down cross legged for an hour at least for each of these prayers.. This morning I managed a smile and drove to work without any additional swelling!
A few other photos (the Onam spread would have required a wide angle lens that is yet to be developed)..
Now that brings us to the Navarathri festival that needs a special post or two..
