We are celebrating Vishu tomorrow, I am extending my wishes to mylotters too

Hi Karthik,

Thanks for the wishes. I came to know that people in from other states in India too is celebrating the day as New Year. You are right there were three latest movies in a day on one channel and there are 6-7 Malayalam channels available in TV, so think how many movies were there yesterday, but I have watched only one movie as I was busy with other works at home.

Are you from Tamil Nadu, I hope so. Thanks for joining us.

Hi luobiaohua,

Thanks for your wishes and everything was good. Best wishes to you too.

Hi aminul,

It is good to know that you also celebrated the day as New Year. My special wishes to you. Thanks for sharing the same.

Hi Yellow Tiny Bird! Many thanks to you also.

Hi Deepak,

Actually I started the discussion to inform you all about our celebration and I am sure you never had any celebration like this.

We have cherished memories about the festival in our childhood and people are using crackers and other things (like Deepawali) on Vishu day. As a child the vishu kaineetam (receiving money from elders) is important for us (lol).

Thanks for the wishes.

Thanks a lot Sree for making us aware about this special day and festival. I did not know about it, till I read your discussion. Hope you enjoyed your festival.

yes, we enjoyed the festival and I got kaineettam from my hubby (lol).

What is it?

I have mentioned about the same in my discussion deepak, it is an important thing on the festival. It means giving money by the head of the family to other members.

Thanks you for the clarification.

Hi Veejay,

Thank you for your wishes and blessings. It really touched my heart.

You please don't worry, our life is like this, when in good time there may be lot of people around you and in bad time you have your shadow only as a companion. But I am glad to help you in a small way. In future also you can expect support from me.

Hi vivianchen,

Yes it is just like that. It is my pleasure to informing you (mylotters) about our festivals. Thank you very much for your nice wishes.

Hi SV, How are you? You are not active much these days? Hope everything is fine with you.

No problem SV, you are not late, actually I put the discussion in late hours. Thanks for your wishes.

My kids are little lazy to wake up in morning as they are going to bed late in night and my hubby is waking up from sleep by himself and waiting for my call to see the kani.

Hi,
I've been very busy at work and with young kids at home, you can imagine my workload. I've not had time to mylot at all. My vacations have now started and I am back (not in full swing though).
My younger son is just 2...but my older son is very excited about our Kerala customs..especially since we don't stay in Kerala and is up early for the Kani. In fact, he even helps me set things up the day before.

That means you are working in mylot from home. I can understand the situation I also have small kids and my younger son turned 2 on last Saturday. I got computer at home now but younger son is hanging on the mouse (his hand is not reaching) and his small chair is getting upside down then also he don't leave the mouse or allow anybody to touch the same (lol). I am doing mylot from office when I got free time. Now the school vacation starts so you got some time, is it? Enjoy it.

lol..I can imagine the scenario. My little one does the same...so I mylot when he is asleep or when he is busy with something else on his own.
I can't mylot from work. I work at a school and even though we have internet access, I am embarassed to be caught mylotting. So, I do not even try to mylot at work.
I've got a month and a half of vacation....but I am working from home too...planning and making teaching aids for school:)

In school it is difficult and rules are strict there. Thanks for coming again and spending time for me. Take care.

Hi Subha,

That means today, Happy New Year to you. Wearing new cloths is also included our custom and that also a traditional one. Thanks for sharing, have a wonderful year ahead.

Hi dear,

Thanks for your good wishes. We are staying away from the native place so we had to purchase everything for preparing the auspicious sight (vishu kani). In our native place everything is available at home itself. Here we purchased everything including the flowers. The celebration is related with Lord Krishna so yellow color is important and the flower of Konna tree (Cussia fistula) is most important and which is available now at our native place abundantly but in Delhi it is not available and we got it from a shop, the shop keeper brought the same from our native place because he knows that he can do good business (lol). Actually we wish to teach the customs and traditions to our kids too because we are away from native place but it won’t be a matter for them to learn the traditions. So we don’t mind to spend some more money for celebrations.

You are very much welcome Sreekala. It is still lucky that you could get those same necessary items from the shop. Yeah, we have to let the new generations to sight and to learn the precious traditional customs and culture and to let them always alive and to go down forever. Really, it is worthy to spend some extra money for the celebrations as this is the best and effective way to let the kids to learn the culture and custom by genuine experience

Here in my place I could see my Hindu friends using yellow cloths, white little flowers instead of the yellow cussia fistula flowers, and the coconut and many other things as well to celebrate the important festival related to god in the temple.

I am happy to know that you are aware about the hindu celebrations. Thanks again.

Yeah, I have some hindu friends here in my place, they would celebrate Deepavali and Taiposam festival. I like the yummy Hindu foods as well, like pumpkin curry, tolsay, meruku and etc. Yeah there are yet lots of interesting stories about the cultures like legends and gods. I’m glad that I have learned another celebration from this nice topic.

Congrats for reaching the 1000th my dear and thanks for awarding the BR

Take care and have a nice day!

Thank you so much for your nice words. I am glad to read the same. The BR, you deserved it dear.

Have a nice day.

Hi gunagohan,

It means we are celebrating the same day as New Year but with different names and the way of celebration may be different. But I am not familiar with Ugaadi and we are not celebrating the same. It is celebrating at Karnataka and Andrha Pradesh, I think.

Thanks for the participation and good wishes. Have a wonderful Year ahead.

have an excellent year ahead...
