hey guys,
being a konkani brahmin, v guys r totally wierdos in Kerala.mom doesn't no how 2 make Sambhar properly...so v never get 2 eat proper Onasadhya(traditional onam lunch)!!! but this onam, Dad bought onasadhya from one of d many caterers who do just dat... so v had a scrumtious meal. mouth watering delicacies, which were available 2 me only at weddings!!
2day, there was pulikali or kaduvakali, literally meaning tiger-play or tiger-dance. u c, ppl paint their bodies wid clorful paints, striped like a tiger. they wear this kind of belt which jingles n jangles. there was a kind of parade around d whole city, which was fun 2 watch. there were luvly floats depicting a gr8 variety of our mythological stories(sorry 4 d long words....cudn't help myself).
the only problem however was dat almost half of d parade was over by d time my family reached ther and gez what it was slightly drizzling...according 2 a saying in Malayalam, if attam(which cums 10days B4 onam) is rainy, so is onam...and i gez it came true!!!
