The last 7 days has been a week of penance with a string of prayers for a good 2011. The Ponggal celebration which is now deemed to be the Tamil New Year (still figuring this out) kick started the week.
We opted for an indoor Thanksgiving for it's quick prep time and easy handling. I headed out to Gymboree right after hence we savored the cold Ponggal at lunch. A heavy vegetarian eat out followed for dinner.
In between the days we had daddy's birthday but the big one was on 20th ... Thaipusam. This was a must do the fact that I'm at school from this year on, I needed all the blessings to stay sharp and focused.
Lord Muruga was ever so beautiful and you only get to have such good view if you seek his blessings on the night before Thaipusam. Crowd was picking up so we skipped hill temple for that very reason.
I couldn't help with a little amusement while I was there so this manual (powered by 2 men spinning it) carousel was the top pick. The sturdy piece kept good balance for an enjoyable spin. Sadly there weren't many takers.
Of all the entertaining games they had, this was a real sick one. Temple management ... please take note.
