Even if the title gives 3 current topics in my life,im planning to write just about onam.......mainly its the urge to write down sumthing rather than onam spirit, made me open this window now.......sometimes i really wish,i have a book or a laptop always near me,so that whenever im in that mood i can transfer it all to something else.......yesterday was one of those days when i really wanted to blog,but sadly at that time got busy with something else.........
When i came to tvm on June 14th,Sep was somewhere down the lane.......3 months,long way to go!!.......2-3 dates which were important for me in the coming 3 months were-aug18th-blore trip,aug 23rd-athiz marriage,sep 13th-onam.......this was another way of keeping track of the D date-Sep 27th.......now im on tht laaaaaaast date in my list-Sep 13th......hardly 2 weeks for me to leave...uff!!......
Onam is always shuttling between tvm and alleppey for me,this time i made it very clear tht we will go to allepey before that and have a very quiet onam n tvm.......sumtimes i relly wonder how can we claim that we celebrate onam!!.......atleast during school and college days(and in infy also)onam means-traditional day,onam sadhya and pookalam.....maybe this is the fiz onam in my life where all 3 factors were missing.....onam this year has only one event to look forward to and that is the sadhya today(and there to except for peeling some onions,i havent contributed anythng!!!)......sumtimes i relly wonder whether amma dun wan2 watch the channel programes and all(actually tv channels r the ones which relly celebrate onam!!).....asked tht to amma today and she had only 1 reply-wats the use in buyng sadhya from outside,where z the spirit of onam there.....relly wonder whether i will be able to cook one proper sadhya for my family........the traditional kerala veg dishes are still a nightmare for me:(.........
even if we do not celebrate onam the way it should be,i really get into that festival spirit every year during onam time.........u juz have to go to the city to get into that onam fever-city fully lit with lights,stage shows happening all over........that is the only time in a year when u can see my city like that.........
one of the other major attraction of onam is the "onamkodi"-or in other words-new dress which elders get u for onam......during school days,strictly the dress shopping of an year used to happen on onam time-so it was really a time of the year, me and my brother used to look forward to....wearing that new dress for onam celebrations to school and to temple on thiruvonam day was really a celebration for me.......but now things have changed drastically,since i shop the entire year(my mlore frnds will vouch for tht:D) onamkodi has lost its charm......but still i relly cherish that one new skirt or a top which my dad buys for me:).......
amma needs me in kitchen,i think its high time i help her with something:).......bye
