In my case I was part of 2 joint families - one from my mother's side and the other on my father's side. I studied staying at my aunt's (mother's younger sister) place and holidays were at one of 2 villages. I remember the pongal festivities - they used to be the grandest. For us mattuppongal was of prime importance, then the kaanum pongal. <BR/>Nice post :)The Visitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379204603893147923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33351602.post-1162435924747594222006-11-01T18:52:00.000-08:002006-11-01T18:52:00.000-08:00Deepa, Dil.. milking the cow...I wud rather dare n...Deepa, <BR/>Dil.. milking the cow...<BR/>I wud rather dare not to. I still remember our maid in kmbedu getting kicked by a cow when she was attempting to milk it. <BR/><BR/>I remember those days when you guys visited KMbedu.I am not sure if it was during your visit when all of us cooked spinach, sakarai pongal below a huge tamarind tree behind our house..... <BR/>Those are indeed my best days.<BR/><BR/>Hyderabad trip... That was my longest trip outside<BR/>chennai. I can fully recall planetarium and birla mandir <BR/>trip with you. I also used to wonder then at your fluency<BR/>in Hindi and your singing hindi songs..:)..Remember the anthakshari...kurroduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334894624835480177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33351602.post-1161119487117375122006-10-17T14:11:00.000-07:002006-10-17T14:11:00.000-07:00Rajesh,Thanks for visiting my blog.You are right. ...Rajesh,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog.<BR/><BR/>You are right.
