Karthigai Deepam

Today was like any other ordinary day.. Nothing to do much. My aathukaarar is not in town, so didn't feel like doing anything. Athukkaga avar irunthaa mattum ethuvum pannamaatten...( He is relieved from the so-called bakshanam pack from Sri krishna sweets).

All those packs are marketing gimmicks with age-old seedai and murukku and so called neivedhyam items packed long before. All new-x - gen ladies like me (simply called somberis) buy those things and pretend to celebrate the festivals. From deepavali onwards i realised that nothing can beat the home-prepared payasam and vadai and kesari and all stuffs . The preparation , well begins the previous day with downloaded and cook-book recipes. Choosing the best and convenient among them. So far everything turned out good except for the kesari which i tried for nonbu... Never mind can always improve as long as my aathukarar is there for experimentation. Paavam manushan , never he complains....Vera vazhi illa athu vera vishayam..


Now Grand sweets also jumped into the wagon - pre-packed bakshanam specials.. Havent tried yet.....

Todays karthigai was celebrated cave man way with bananaas and apples...........
