We happened to attend a seemandham of one of our neighbours at Pomona Ranganathar Kovil, NY. Fusing the desi and western practices, they had 'baby shower' balloons all over the tiny hall that had a nostalgic scent of pattu pudavis. But of course, the pudavai-sporting maamis were walking around with winter coats and boots. It seemed like a perfect place to observe NRIs trying hard to strike a balance.
And the ABCD (American Born Confused Desi) kids were conversing in heavily accented English to their moms who were feeding them thatchi mammu, catered by the temple management. The whole event was absolute fun. That day being our wedding anniversary, we also had a chance for Ranganathar darshanam.
