U never know what you are gonna miss until you really misses it... and I got the experience today...away from home,away from kerala... here in chennai...
on a tiruvonam day,i never used to get excited while at home-just because i dont know why to.I just get up,have a late breakfast,a late bath,and a lunch with payasam(which is always my mom's speciality,so it was never a a big surprise for me).. only 'different' thing i had felt about onam was the new movies i could watch in Asianet and Surya TV ;). So that's how my usual Onam goes...
Today,here in Chennai,I got up with jerk realising that I am late for Office,had a quick breakfast and was on my way to the office in the drizzle.. and thanks for the lorry and bus drivers for making my washed(yeah,i do it regularly!) white shirt sprayed with dirt on the road...
in office,i just got bored of explaining to people why i just couldnt go home for onam... but yeah,thanks to all of then for enquiring :) and the a;; newspapers carry onam news in front..! i never knew onam had this much popularity across india...!!
had the Onam 'feast' - curd rice -dreaming about the home lunch with payasam and pappadam,alone in the office canteen - thanks to the andhra business consultant who talked to me during my lunch- even though it was for his business...Thanks you Bhakta-something.Of course i have your Business card with me. I am definitely gonna call you back :P
To do at least one thing differently for the Onam,I got off the office at 5'o clock :)
and,last but not least,tons of thanks the couple of frinds in office who cared to listen to my Onam emotions....
So thus ends my tiruvonam,a rather forgettable one....
