To be a lady or a tamilian, that is the question!

September 13, 2010 at 8:31 pm (Family, Festivals, Life)

So last week, preparations for Gowri and Ganesha festivals were in full swing and I was making a guest list of five ladies whom I wanted to give ‘Bagina’ to .  Na came up to me to find out what I was trying to do and when I mentioned that I was inviting five ladies, she asked me are they “Ladies” or are they “Tamilians”!!! Trying to figure out what she meant, had me in splits!  This was her answer –

“Amma, if they dress up like you in saree with pottu and valai and maalai then they are tamilians. If they wear Jeans or any other dress they are Lady”!!! So tell me girls, are you a tamilian or a lady?

Hope all of you  had a wonderful festival.  Mine was great this year, with lots of friends, good food spcied up with  funny comments and questions by Na 🙂

For MiM’s benefit, for Gowri vratham I had made Parippu vadai, nei payasam, Coconut rice, kosambri for Neivedyam. For Ganesha, Vella kozhakattai, uppu kozhakattai, Idli, nei appam, Channa dal kosambri, and something called “Kanthundalu”(H’s family makes this and Idli for Ganesh chaturthi).
