First pongal for Varsha

We went to our native (devakottai) since it was the first pongal for Varsha. Traditionally, rice is fed for the first time on the first pongal for any new born babies in our community. I took 2 days off and spent 5 days in my native. It was definitely very enjoyable at home with parents. There was some amount of relief from baby sitting :-) since my mother took care of Varsha. Every day we start climbing the coconut trees (with the help of ladder only) and have tender coconuts (me and my son Akash are crazy about tender coconuts). We spend sometime plucking all the flowers and my father makes the garlands for the gods. Since I was there in native towards the fag end of Margazhi, I went to temples early in the morning (at around 5 a.m.) and it was nice to be in the temples where I used to go in my school days. I can keep on writing.... since I love my native.
