Pongal namaskarams

Our pongal namaskarams to everybody. My mil spent pongal with us this year. This year I left the pongal rangoli to V totally (the coloring part).

She was totally thrilled to be left on her own.

The lullaby is so soothing. She definitely has magic in her voice. When V was a baby, one of Koushik's friends sent a cd of Vaatsalyam. Am not sure if V slept listening to it, but Koushik and I definitely did :) Later we learnt that even his friend fell asleep listening to it.

Happy Pongal

Wishing everybody a very happy pongal.

Our Pongal

Seeking everybody's blessings on this pongal and , as perippa says, new year. For people who care for some e-pongal, here it is.

My mother-in-law is here to celebrate pongal with us. So, we are having a good time with her.

Talking about the new tamil new year, wonder when the new Panchangam would be released!!! Would that also change to "Thai maasam"!!! Somebody at work told me that pongal used to be celebrated as new year in olden days. Is that really so?
