Tamil New Year...

This Tamil New Year started with a question from friends @ Office…

Friend1: We have Telugu/Kannada New Year which is called ‘Ugadi’

Friend2: We have Malayalam New Year which is called ‘Vishu’

Friends 1&2: We know your Tamil New Year falls this Sunday…What do u call it?

Me: We call it as Tamil New Year in Tamil…(Enna chamarthana answer ;))

Friend1: No, is there a name like Vishu or Ugadi?

Me: No it’s called Tamil Varuda Pirappu which is the translation of Tamil New Year…We don’t have a specific name…

Friends 1&2: Calling another friend who is a Tamilian…What do you call Tamil New Year as?

Me: (To myself) Freeya vidungalen..yaaru sonnalum..Answer onnu dhaan..and escaped from that place…

Last Tamil New Year, I made payasam and went to Pittsburg temple to get Dharshan of Mr.Balaji

This time, although am not going to any temple to get anyone's Dharshan, I started the day by playing the devotional trio songs that I have it in my PC – Kandha Shasti Kavasam, Subrapatham and the Amman song…

Done with the house cleaning y’day itself as it’s an usual ‘Saturday’ thing for me :)

Ready to prepare some aval sweet and paruppu sundal and the spl. Lunch comprising Sambar, Avial, Okra pachadi (Build-up nalla dhaan irukku but hope it comes out well)…

Appuram enna? Worshipping God, Eating and Burping dhaan…:)
