    I was content:)

    Dear Chitra,

    Followed your puja instructions, followed your recipe instructions, remembered your words on kolam....all in all, we had a lovely Deepawali, thanks to you. I was content! I am sure your pandigai was highly lustrous, what with all your IL gang thinking of you and enjoying all the bakshanams made as per your guidance and lighting the lamps as per your instructions.

    L, Kamla

    Welcome back after Deepavali break, Sujata !

    I am glad you had a lovely pandigai, with bakshanams, puja etc, besides a lovely Miru Papa, to share your joy.
    More than our own individual families, this year, I had the additional pleasure of my I L " vasudaeva kutumbam" ! It was a real pleasure to be wished on P M s by many I L ites !
    My "personal horizon" has grown so much & I thank God profusely, for the same, Sujata !
    Thankyou for the F B .
    Love & regards,
    Chithra.

    Hi all,

    There are many reasons to celebrate Diwali.
    First of all Diwali is the Goddess Laxmi Birth date.
    During this time Rama returns home after victory.They won yudhha with Ravan.SO these are some reasons we all celebrate.
    Share with us if you know more reasons about diwali.

    Keep posting:thumbsup

    Dear Chitvish,
    Its always nice to read about Diwali, a festival full of joy and light -- crackers , sweets, new dress and above all is ........ sharing this joy with our near and dear ones . Asking ' Ganga snaanam aachaa ' is really a great pleasure. . Thanks a lot for sharing Annapoorani with golden kavacham, looks so beautiful. :)
