Onam in Delhi...



That time of year, when every malayalees miss atleast the home food.... Onam.... it was a different experience this time.... The first onam in Delhi... i thought it will be a disaster... but thanks to my cousin Josephine here, i didn’t feel like missed out...
Was at her house in Gurgaon last Sunday.... had a long onam sadhya preparing session... it was fun... we invented some recipe too... finally came up with a 14 item sadhya... it was a success... and we have beaten so many people even in kerala by miles... Planning to top that next year as well...
After an eventful pre-celebration... the real onam day was just an ordinary day... last minute i decided to wear settu saree, but was not going to be a success considering the late monsoon rain and floods in delhi.... had to hire a cab to and fro office...
 It was a quiet day for me in office... I continued to be too comical in a saree as usual... year after year i wear saree on onam day, and every time makes it look awkward.... This time i preferred mote to move around much... well, the question is when will i ever be comfortable in a saree!!??
Well, done with the day with some chips and chats with my neighbours... it was not a great day as such... but it was not bad either... Will wait for another 364 days or so and hope for it to be better...
