Onam Celebration - 2012


Onam is a Hindu festival celebrated by the people of Kerala, India and it is also harvest festival of Kerala.[1] The festival commemorates the Vamana avatar of Vishnu and the subsequent homecoming of the legendary Emperor Mahabali. It is the state festival of Kerala and falls during the month of Chingam (August–September) and lasts for ten days.

Right from my birth I haven't celebrated onam. This year I celebrated it with my friends in office by wearing new dress which is purely traditional gifted by my dear Mom Sarooooo.
Saro's Gift for Onam
All my colleagues celebrated by wearing onam traditional wear, decorated their bays with pookolam and shared sweets within them. But unfortunately we didn't plan for anything as such. And that made us feel a lot. And the whole day we were grumbling that we should have planned for something. 


One of my team mates brought payasam for us from home. From then we started celebrating Onam. We took photo together. And the picture came out very well. Unfortunately three of my team mates couldn't join us as there were on leave on that day.. We missed you my dear friends.

Love You Great Lady

Friends its my pleasure to introduce my granny... She is one such lady who can never be hated... Her name is Rosammal nicknamed as Rose by us... Her heart is as beautiful as a Rose... I would say her as my mom coz she was the one who raised me until 3 years from 15 days of my birth. Reason is my mom got govt. job and was forced to join within 15 days of my birth. She was in a great frustration whether to accept this offer coz noone is there to take care of me. She asked my dad's mom who had no commitments whether she can stay with her to take care of me. But she said no. My mom frustration level increased and she was confused. At the moment this great lady said I cant stay with you but one thing I can promise is I can take the baby with me and raise her,So you can accept the offer. Thanks granny for the help you provided for my mom, this can never be paid back and forgotten.If not my mom would have rejected the job. May be that is the reason I love her a lot. From the 15th
