another onam came..and its almost going..cant just adjust to the fact how fast years are passing by...well..we celebrated it the typical kerala way..ahemm...nt exactly...where you are expected to make an atham in front of your house...play around with your friends especially in a swing...sing songs and welcome maveli...dance to the tunes of thiruvathirakkali...an excellent feast in the afternoon..etc etc
a typical mallu family in a city has made a few radical changes to the above scenario..take for eg..my home...i begged with my mom to let me make an atham..but she wouldnt relent to it..thanks to my extremely naughty doggies..she fears the mess they will make...there goes our atham...i am playing around with my friends..but its an indoor game..hehe..sorority life in facebook...there was no tree to make a swing out of its branch..then i even missed the onam celebrations at college thanks to our spm tour..so no maveli and thiruvathira this time around...
and all these are substituted by the endless movies that are shown on various channels..3 of them yesterday..another 3 today...and yeahh...what remains unchanged is the excellent feast in the afternoon..the typical onam sadya...slurp!!!..i just finished it....:)
needless to say...we all enjoy onam..one way or the other..the only time when the chains locking our wallets hang loose and we even give away to the most stupidest of stuff in the market...a time for shopping...a time for togetherness...even if its sitting huddled in the sofa watching the movies...heyy..well...u cant have everything right???
and well...i guess another movie has started..and i can hear the title song blaring...i think its time for me to go...so heres wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous onam!!!...may all your dreams and wishes come true..!!!!:)
I STILL DINT GOT IT, I M SO SORRY BUT WAT IS ONAM>?? :(

ReplyDelete@sonali..onam is a festival of kerala..i dont know where to begin from..there was a king called mahabali who ruled this place...he was a righteous n a great fellow..and u must kno the story of vamana avatar of lord vishnu who pushed this king to 'patala'. or the underworld..so the belief is that...the king mahabali visits our place evry year during this time and we await his visit by this festival...i dunt know if u understood anything..u might as well google it...
