From Shoba,
Hello everyone ! We are back after a short visit to Coimbatore. The function went on very well. Meeting friends and relatives, yummy food and changing dresses kept us very busy. ( we changed dresses two times each day as there were many functions ) I was tired at the end of the stay after all this (changing silk sarees-kancheevaram and dressing up Avanthika) This is very typical in all Indian functions. The elaborate food (twenty items severed in banana leaves for each meal), the crowd , the rituals etc. I really hope that this tradition of celebrating functions goes on as the younger generation will get to see many old customs and rituals. ( many people restrict the functions to a small scale due to funds and time constraints).
After all the fun we had to return to our routine. Believe it or not , I washed four loads of clothes yesterday alone. The whole day I was busy unpacking and getting the house back to shape. Dear Raja could have washed his clothes, as he reached Coimbatore only on Sunday. He never even thought of it as he always lives upto his name (raja means king).

It is lovely to see that all of us are quite serious about the blog. This will really help us to know each others lifestyle better. Avanthika will be giving a music performance in our colony community hall on the 28th of this month. (through her music class). She is very busy with the everyday practice for it. Days are getting hotter here. I am scared to think that we have a long way to go before the climate can even get pleasant (march to november). I think it is time for me to go now as my tummy is grumbling for lunch ( radish sambar and cabbage ). Bye! bye!
