You made me recall my celebrations with my Mom! Dear Chitvish, Your Kanu vazhthu was great. My in-laws don't follow the tradition of Kanu, so we celebrate only Pongal since our marriage. But during my days with my Mom, both of us use to celebrate Kanu too. My Mom will keep Manjal-Kumkumam and we use to go to our terrace and offer kakka-pidi kannu-pidi for the crows and birds. Your vazhthu made me recall those Kanu days. Thank you. Regards, Malathy
My dear Malathy ! All said & done - a stamp of approval from our "boss" ( that is how a co-ILite refers to you !), makes me extra happy ! Can't help mentioning it !! Just now I finished kanu pidi & kanu oil-bath. Need I tell you that I did pray for the ஒற்றுமை of our I L global family - that sometimes "goes & hides" somewhere !! Thankyou for your participation. Love, Chithra.
Happy Pongal Chitra Madam, What a beautiful write up. You are amazing. Happy Pongal to you and your family and to all ILites... Jothi.
My dear Jyothi ! Your words made me very happy - pray God, I deserve it ! Thanks for your post. Love, Chithra.
Dear Chith, Your Kanu post is very heart- filling. How beautiful the words are in Tamil!For Pongal I combined yours and Meenakrishnan's kolam and the result was enjoyably amazing. Regards, Meenu
Wishes Dear Chitra, A Wonderful start for Kanu pongal..... reading the post was so nice.... wishing your family too for pongal... Love, Preethi
My dear Meenu ! With due respect to English & all other national languages, tamil and beauty are inseparable ! Is not தெ fஒல்லொநிங் ட்ருஎ ? தமிழுக்கு அமுதென்று பேர் - இன்பத் தமிழெங்கள், தமிழ் எங்கள் உயிருக்கு நேர் ! I think you have made a " super combo pongal " of mine & Meena's ! Thanks for the FB. Love, Chithra.
Dear chitra Wish you a very happy pongal and kanu.Your manjakirum kanu pattu is wonderful and recollect some lines from you.Nowadays all are out of the house this ritual is slowly diminishing. As I have eye soar and could not sent the f.B. in time. we are chanting the following lines at the time of submitting the kakkapidi. Kakkappiddi vechchen,Kanu piddi vechchen, Kakkakalukkellam Kalyanam kalyanam Kakka kootam kalainthalum enkal kootam kalaiyathirukka venum. tsseethalakshmi
