For a malayalee Thiru Onam day is the high point of the year ... and no self-respecting malayalee will have a meal anywhere other than home ... Yes, changing times, mores and values have brought adaptions and interpretations, but nothing beats a home cooked sadhya.
Thanking Amma for making a simple, but immensely tasty, sadhya at home in spite of her advancing years ... praying for her well-being! She is the North Star of our existence.
A lovely pookalam made by Parvathi MenoN adorned the verandah!
This time one half of the family was missing ... they celebrated at Bengaluru, chez Nikhil J Menon !
