It’s like a secret attic, well hidden from everybody else’s eyes, holding precious snapshots and video clippings that only my brain can view/play. Every visit to this attic is sure to add a smile to my face and a sparkle to my eyes. :) Yours seems to be much the same…. at least with regards to Navarathri.Xenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17000681096969278925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-1159847457274870692006-10-03T09:20:00.000+05:302006-10-03T09:20:00.000+05:30Dear P, Glad you liked the post! :-)Dear GI,...Dear P,<BR/> Glad you liked the post! :-)<BR/><BR/>Dear GI,<BR/> Welcome back... :-) I am sure you miss home. You should have dropped by for this season. :-)<BR/><BR/>Dear Anon-U,<BR/> Food is the essence, milady, hence a transition is inevitable and seamless! :-) RKN's writing? My, my, my! I am flattered! And there I was thiking that I could visit your Navratri-golu... Kidding? :-(<BR/><BR/>Dear RS,<BR/> Welcome back dear friend. Its been a long time since you commented on this blog. If you trust me, then do believe that I was immensely delighted to see your comment here. <BR/> I am not as optimistic as you are. I am sure that these things will fizzle out. Look at me, although I talk thus, I observe that I am losing my touch on certain things. Relatively speaking I might be way ahead of the average Joe in following traditional practices, but that was never my touchstone. Point is, things are slipping but all I can do is to keep it alive wherever I can and wherever it wants to stay alive... :-)Erotemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677513867884448593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-1159635330099075042006-09-30T22:25:00.000+05:302006-09-30T22:25:00.000+05:30hmmm.. a great post. despite all the modern intrus...hmmm.. a great post. <BR/><BR/>despite all the modern intrusions into the existing traditions, I feel that these habits would never fizzle out. <BR/><BR/>what has been surviving for nearly 5000 years, be it indian classical music, festivals, customs and traditions, would be there for eternity. It is just that the people who embrace and appreciate the beauty would change. <BR/><BR/>... but then, yes, you dont see much of what happened in those nostalgic times of the past, these days.Rangakrishnan Srinivasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168973002229977040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-1159607016429576962006-09-30T14:33:00.000+05:302006-09-30T14:33:00.000+05:30Right now am busy with Navratri too.From Italian c...Right now am busy with Navratri too.<BR/>From Italian cuisine to Sundal is quite a transition...:)Have to see where i can catch "Food is home" though...sounds good.Thanks.[ijust follow la cucina italiana ]<BR/><BR/>Your depiction reminded me of RK Narayan's writings somehow.<BR/><BR/>"Then the party would end."??haha<BR/><BR/>Beauty of India is in it's diverse traditions followed on such days [ should i mention the various sweets too? :)]<BR/><BR/>more lateron<BR/>(*_*)<BR/><BR/>Uma<BR/><BR/>P.S:..accepting the invite...and when can we expect you here? kiddin...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-1159465819337930802006-09-28T23:20:00.000+05:302006-09-28T23:20:00.000+05:30Aww...
