It is the
Sankranthi /
Pongal season. Sugarcanes are everywhere! We enjoyed taking the kids out yesterday to buy sugarcanes, fruits, and flowers for today's pooja. The roads were filled with festive joy, with people buying all the pooja items and enjoying the sugarcanes. I loved buying strings of jasmine, tuberoses, chrysanthemum, roses, oleanders etc for the pooja room.
Sugarcanes and FlowersIt was fun to actually decorate the pooja room with sugarcanes. I was never really into festivals, but since the arrival of our first child I have changed a lot in this regard. Now, I actually look forward to celebrating the different festivals with the kids. And when we are amongst people who are also celebrating the same festivals, it is really fun!
Happy Sankranthi/Pongal ..... from our home to yours!

Srinivas, welcome to my blog and thanks for your feedback. I am really glad the blog is helping you. I have also realized that I am thoroughly enjoying to write it. It has been an enriching experience.
Please let me know if there is any topic in particular that you want info about, that is generic to returning to India and not really Hyderabad specific, 'coz I am not familiar with Hyd at all.
Hi Chitra,
This is a wonderful blog. My wife & I talk about moving back home to Bangalore (from Chicago) and this throws some light on what awaits us at our bengalooru. Keep it going. It'll inspire a lot of us to come back home!!!
