    Dear Chitu,

    Effortlessly you enlighten all of us with your posts. It can be Yama Deepam or Karthikai Deepam, Recipes, Shlokas and can reach to the altar of Lessons on Geeta. And your tireless effort of answering all our queries. I will never get tired to keep mentioning you are the PRIMA BOND of IL. One post of yours and we fly to it like bees.

    Keep posting, Chitu...

    Hey, I forgot to mention, that KOLAM was beautiful and the deepams too... :hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff

    Dear AC,
    Thanks for joining us here.
    At home, here, we still light all the lamps, you have mentioned - pavai vilakku, elephant vilakku et al.
    Now we get extremely beautiful, hand-crafted mud "agals" in eye catching varieties. If you were around, I would have gifted you ! I have already started gifting them to guests who come this month !
    Love

    Dear Mals, my sweet Applepie,
    Remember, I am not a creative person - far from it ! I am capable only of recollecting the "magic of our culture" through my posts.
    Why not you take a break & come to spend Karthigai with me, the same falling on a week end ?
    Please give this suggestion, a serious thought !
    Thankyou, many times !:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff
    Love,
    Chits.

    Dear Chithra
    THanks for posting the photos. Looks very nice. I enjoyed seeing such a big and beautiful kolam. I always put small ones so it was a treat to see the big one. I actually felt like I was walking in beside the kolam. Clarity was good. The table with elephant nose as a leg am i right? looks really neat. IN your neivedyam I saw nel pori , neyyappam and adai am i right? could not make for sure.
    Thanks so much for sharing. looking at the lamp lit before god I felt like i was there too. only could not get the taste of palagaram in mouth. but for it i felt like i was there. This is more important than palagaram so its fine. since i was virtually present maybe i can skip mine this evening ??? tsk Thanks again.

    Dear Shanthi,
    Thanks.
    Besides the entrance, I am sure you put in puja room also & one in every room. That is the custom.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear AC,
    Thanks.
    Yes, it is my Yanaikaal table in the foyer where I keep welcome flowers.
    The naivedyam was - both aval & nel pori, appam & adai.
    Yes, I saw you "virtually" tasting them !:drool
    But do not skip your naivedyams, please !
    Love

    Chitra
