Our sixth Navaratri in Birmingham. (எங்க ஆத்து கொலு)
As usual this year also we had a great navaratri. As the photo explains, there were lots of new dolls(bommai) added to our golu (thanks to Raji atthai for sending those by post and thanks to the postal guys for handling the same with care). The hightlight for this year was two new sets of Dasavatharam, Narthana Krishnar, Veeraraghava perumal and a big kalyana set. This year Vedhika has grown big to understand as what is going on in the house and she was instumental in having a zoo.
It is just 40days after Veebha has delivered Vedanth, but she was decisive in having this year's golu as well in a grand manner. Vedhika was dressed up differently on each of the nine days with great enthusiasm. Veebha and Vedhika went to almost all our friends house to invite them.(எங்க ஆத்துல கொலு வெச்சுருகோம் , come and take vetla pak - Vedhika's version of personal invite). Vedhika did invite some of her classmates as well to this years golu.
All our friends visited our golu and Vedhika offered tamboolam to everyone who had visited and some nice gifts to the little ones.
Maama and Maami (Veebha's appa and amma) were with us this year and they really enjoyed Vedhika's dressups and our navaratri. All the guests were serverd with nine different sundals prepared by Maami on all the nine days.
Vedhika had a very busy day on this Vijayadasami. She has officialy started her Education(Akshabyasam by Maama at home),Classical Music (taught by Mrs.Vijayashree Sriram) and Bharathanatiyam (taught by Mrs.Smita Deshpande).
Once again Veebha and Vedhika has done it. Hope Vedanth joins
them in the coming years with right spirit.
Hello Vinod - Great to see உங்காத்து கொலு. :)
ReplyDeleteNot long ago, when we used to use Orkut a lot, we (my wife and I) used to look and admire at the golu photos posted by your wife.
It is even more impressive this year and to do it with a new born around is really commendable.
Our best wishes to you all.
Seeing all the golu photos have indeed inspired us and we have vowed that there'll be an எங்காத்து கொலு in 2011. :)
