Still savouring

Three days passed. Still iam happy reminiscing the day over and over again. Iam content of the fact that i didnt get a chance to brood over. All in all it went well. Though my athukkarar showered with surprise gifts on occasions before and after marriage for the past 2 yrs he was occupied with work tension. So he would tell me that why u still expect me to get surprise presents. Though i agree with him, its not the value of the presents i expect, but just the action on the whole. I would be content even if he gives a diary milk and wish me.

This year he over-reacted saying that u shouldnt have expectations. With his abnormal behaviour i understood he is upto something. Since i didnt want to disappoint myself i didnt pester him either. So promptly i went to sleep at 11.00pm unlike last year http://oreponnu.blogspot.com/2007/12/birthday.html

Treat it as telepathy or else, i suddenly got up at 12.00pm and casted a blank stare towards my aathukkarar. There he was standing and wishing me. And he gave me a gift. Lol u know wat was there inside a nice earing and chain set from GRT. It was very delicate and small. I prefer these kind of things. And he is also interested in non-showy things. It was the beautiful thing neatly packed. For few seconds i was dumb. Its not the present but his gesture. Then he sent me this beautiful sms and asked me to check my mail. The e-card was cute , but i prefer the hard copy. Somehow, i feel closeness and the unique personal touch in the traditional greeting cards. So i have this habit of sending and giving cards. (not e-greetings).

In the morning i got wishes from my friends - including my friend for 20 yrs, F , though there s no consistent contact we are pretty close. Somehow it is destined that during important occasions we renew our contact. She is getting married in this Feb. Iam so happy for her.
The from the relatives. First timers i would say in the span of 20+ years.

Evening we went to temple. This time it was vadapalani temple. Almost all the temples have been converted into mini govt offices. When they see this 100 rupee note in ur hand only they offer to do the pooja to the shrine . Else, thallunga thallunga only. And in the name of archanai he just broke the coconuts and showed aarthii. Thats all. Oru chinna manthiram kooda sollala. I was more disappointed.
Coming to the prasatham counter, the puliyodarai and the chakkara pongal were worse than my preparation. Thought i should ask them to take class from srirangam kovil . They serve the most delicious puliodirai.

As usual ended up with HSB for dinner. This time i had my favourite kasi halwa. too much ghee though.

So ennoda pirantha naal inithe niraivadainthathu....... Hope i remain content without any complaints , jealousy, possessiveness and bad temper and keep myself occcupied for the rest of the year.
