pongal-o- pongal

hi everyone,
after so many years ,had a very traditional pongal .we had a community pongal within our complex for about 180 people. of this the main people were about 6 families ,only 4 tamilian families. we drew eloborate kolams, thoranams and sugarcane for decoration. made pongal in brass vessel over wood fire which gave many a heart attack as it refused to burn properly. bajans were sung while pongal was made. breakfast costing 11.000 rs was sponsored for all. followed by rangoli competition. card making and pot decoration for kids.
of course our team won first in rangoli and sanjay won first in card making. a feat of rangoli fixing as everyone said, because we were the organisers. will upload the photos later.

Kapu you've been winning rangoli competitions organised by your husband for years so its no big surprise.
But congrajulations to all winners on your team and house. And great that such few Tamil families managed the Pongal festivities among so many jains.
Your flats are really terrific in national integration.

Kappu, i dont believe the sentence "we drew kolam". I will give a million bucks to watch you draw kolam. looks like it was fun. I had a party at my house just for a pongal acknowledgement nothing more. Party at my house usually looks like a UN get together.
