    Your words are always soothing...

    Yes Chitra with you around I should not feel homesick. Thanks for your words of late I am homesick. In fact M and I were just talking about visiting you while in Chennai. Hope it it more than virtual screen visits.
    Love,

    Dear Chitra,
    a very timely post on kolams.....like the others have said, will be able to try out new varieties...that too the simple ones , even Roshini can try out now. I cannot do it early morning on my doorstep....:cry: ...so will attempt them on a plate or manai, maybe in the pooja room.
    thanks for evoking some more interest in our fast forgetting traditions!

    My dear Sudha !

    My very idea is to kindle interest in out fast forgotten traditions. It is the duty of us elders, to follow our system of human value - joining the dots in a "pulli kolam" only signifies the ups & downs, that is, the various situations in life.
    Yes, though not practically feasible outside in the morning where you live, do try it on a " manai" in the puja room.
    Thankyou for the F B, Sudha.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    thanks a lot for those kollams. i always put small ones like these in front of my apartment.there is hardly any space in front and these small ones look pretty.i have a;lready noted all your kollams into account. we also light 2 lamps in the morning and keep it near the doorstop. it is supposed to be very auspicious.for karthigai it is evening and for marghazai it is morning time to place the lamps.i have been reciting thruppavai since the age of 12 in this month and i make it a point to make atleast a cup of venn pongal. on the 27th day of marghzai i make sakkarai pongal and curd rice on the 28th day.i look forward to this month music and religion.this month gives me lot of peace and happiness. with divinity and that pleasant nip in the air.

    My dear Priya !

    Thankyou for your F B.
    Tiny kolams can be fitted into even a very small puja table - that is why I specially sent them. Today, I am posting 5-5 dot kolams as well.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Kanaka !

    It is nice to read your Markazi routine.
    I have stopped making venpongal on all days, since invariably I am tempted to eat the same ! It is my great favourite !
    Yes, Koodarai vellu seer Govinda is Sakkaraipongal day.
    Yes, I too keep 2 lights in the mornings in Markazi, said to be very auspicious.
    Thankyou for your post.
    Love,
    Chithra.
