Vidhu's pongal

Cute little Vidhu who is growing by leaps and bounds and learning to understand and appreciate the world around her celebrated her first Pongal amidst the larger family. Here are a few snaps of the memorable day

Little vidhyutha woke up early and dressed in a "pattu pavadai" in her favourite colour - blue and patiently watched all the pooja done to remember the sun god.

Ding dong bell... pussy's in the well..



Anjali, anjali, pushpanjali..



Ah...enough bhakthi.. let us seek some nidhra mukthi...



Awesome joysome

After a lovely day of playing around with people, dear Vidhyutha made merry in my hands in the evening. 

Laughter is the best medicine..



Chewy chewy cheeks..i am not weak...





Toying around..

There ended the day with loads and loads of fun - there can be no greater joy than the sweetness and innocence of a child !

Family luncheon- Only thought for food for Vidhyutha !

.. We also  managed to sneak out for a great family luncheon at probably the best south Indian restaurant in chennai - that's saying a lot in the land of maamy messes and mylapore hotels  - Annalakshmi. The place is a strong recommend for anyone aiming to fill their limitless stomachs on a lazy day. The food is served in the choicest silverware in true Tamilian style.

We had a great time gorging on some of the best sambhar, appalams, vatha kuzhambus you will ever get, a short wait notwithstanding. Vidhyutha, unfortuantely, could not have a speck of rice and poor little thing kept staring at us washing down all of that food. of course, she did get to taste a little of payasam and was the better for it - with her lips wanting for more !
