    Day 15 : So in continuation of yesterday's doll unpacking for navrathri, I got up in the morning ,after getting fresh i started to continue decoration. My navrathri dolls are packed and the cartoon box contains a label with the name of doll inside. In one such box I was cross checking. All the dolls were out. To double check I put my hand in the box looking for dolls (among the papers which are used for wrapping the dolls). I found one more doll in that. I thought what doll is this, I haven't written it in label . I unwrapped and to my surprise found Sai baba idol . I can't tell how I felt seeing that. My heart skipped a beat in excitement. First of all I don't remember buying Sai baba idol and secondly I sure can't recollect wrapping and putting it in the box last year while packing . Thirdly box label didn't contain sai baba idol name . I can't express how blessed I felt after this. 2 3 years back when I wanted to keep golu ,something similar happened . I open first box n I get one small Ganesha can't recollect buying that cute Ganesha. Truly it's God himself who is doing this Leela. It was a super super positive start to my day .

    Made a clean up and prep master list for Diwali. Lit five lamps in front of the Goddess as per MIL's request. Kids got curious about the image of the Devi, Durga, and I found the perfect in to tell the tale of Mahishasura. I had them at "buffalo-headed demon". : )

    Little one was all agog: "Stronger than Wonder Woman?!"
    Me: "Yes much much stronger than Wonder Woman. Stronger than all the super heroes in the Universe."
    Son: "Including the Marvel Universe?" :lol::lol:

    Day 16 : After a satisfying decoration till late night started the festival early morning with so much enthusiasm and devotion. Actually these 10 days will bring nothing but positive energy no matter what. Getting up nearly, putting kolam, Chanting LS , telling other Durga Strotam , Naiveidhyam everything just gives so much positivity. Golu was never a tradition in my mom's house . 6 years back after marriage when in laws said I should start I was so enthusiastic and started. Started without knowing what has to be done .With each year passing learning so much from everyone and especially Mother in law. Some warned me saying if I start I cannot skip any year and with my work how I will manage doing Pooja, Neivaidhyam etc. Well I never felt that way. I don't know I somehow get the powers to do and definitely it is not possible without Ambal's blessing. When I start I only pray her that take me till the finish line. And it has always has happened that way these 6 years. Happy Navrathri everyone.

    Navarathri started in this part of the world. There was a confusion about whether it is on Tuesday or Wednesday. I have started on Tuesday. CLeaned the pooja room and did the Chakra pooja. Felt so happy and made boys recite 'thanam tharum kalvi tharum...' from abhirami anthathi. Beautiful start of the pooja season.

    Day 16 : Second day of Navrathri went well with chanting LS .Have undertaken Nava Durga Strotam poojai. Second day dedicated to Soolini Durga. Can't express how positive the atmosphere becomes during Navtrathri and while chanting Durga strotam and LS.

    Had a late lectures. During the lectures my headache started, as soon the class finished I was driving back home. Headache turned into migraine and with God’s grace I arrived home safely. At that time I felt that I am goi g pass but started hating swami’s names. She brought me home safely. I am thankful.

    Day 17 : By Ambal's grace at 3 of Navrathri went well. . Another positive thing is had pot luck in office today. . Though I'm an enthusiastic participant every year , this year because of Navrathri I couldn't prepare any dish.. Even though I would have loved to. But I was at the stall where our team was put up. (our pot luck we are supposed to sell our dishes) . Had great time selling food prepared by my team name mates. A fun b enjoyable day..
