Its time for Valaikappu/Seemandam - Baby Shower

Yeah! Its is the month of Valaikappu/Seemandam :-) Well, to be simple in American terms, its Baby Shower. My parents have come to visit us and the function went on superb. Lunch was prepared by mom and myself did all the help I could do. Everybody contributed for this , even my hubby too :-)

The main dishes were Sakarai pongal ,Puli sadam ( Tamarind Rice), Thengai Rice ( Coconut rice), Thayir Sadam ( Curd Rice),Avial ( Mixed vegetables curry), Pickles , Chips and for desert its vanila,chocolate,strawberry ice cream.

Morning it all started with Valaikkapu, inserting all the bangles in the hand. 19 in one hand and 20 in another hand. Then, we all started to a near by temple called Arsha Vidyalaya Gurukulam in Saylorsburg and for two hours happened Seemandam. From the ganapathy slogam to the stage of Allamuttu , everything happened successfully. Atlast, its lunch time and as expected , guests enjoyed the food.
