Another Onam has just passed by..Onam opens a chest full of memories....
Onam arrived at our home in its own pomp and splendour.It brought lots of happiness and festivities along with it.A day together, cherished forever.A flower carpet laid out in yellows and reds..The marigold gave a golden hue and the fragrance of the flowers filled the air.My little one hurriedly came back from school to help me.She had to do some rearranging with the already laid out flower carpet.Asked me to click her feet and the flowers.Posed with the flowers and asked me to take a hundred images of her.It was fun at the same time tiring to cook a 7 course meal for some of our friends who came over to have lunch.I sneaked time after cooking to think about some compositions hurriedly and clicked some snaps.In the centre of the flower carpet are the images of gods kept.Everything was laid out on the banana leaf ,the order obeyed when served and given to God first and then to all othersThe kheer came out fantabously..But inspite of all,Moments were full of memories celebrated together at homeMoments attached in strings make me miss Onam at home
Cherished Onam memories.....Come back to me in dreams..
