Happy Onam to All !!!!!

Wishing all my friends out there "A Happy Onam" :)

Onam usually falls during the first month of the Malayalam calendar which is Chingam (August–September) and marks the homecoming of the legendary King Mahabali.The festival lasts for about ten days and is linked to many elements of Kerala's culture and tradition. Intricate flower carpets, elaborate banquet lunch, snake boat races, Puli Kali, and the Kaikottikkali dance all play a part in the festival.

What I like about Onam is the Onam Sadya (Feast)  :)
This is usually a feast served on banana leaves and serves rice along with at least an array of 4 dishes. Traditional pickles and papadam are also served. Dessert is usually 'payasam', a sweet dish made of milk, sugar and other traditional Indian savories. (Altogether we will have around 20+ items served on the Banana Leaf)

For More details - please visit [Onam]

Lets hope this year (tomorrow) I will end up having the Onam Sadya!!!!

Take Care & Have a lovely day ahead!!!

KFC :)

Two days back, we decided to have KFC :)

So my Hubby said, Why dont we go to the KFC Outlet which is in the city (Next to GPO). Since it was in the evening, I assumed it would be rush... Going there, my assumption was right!!!! Finally we got a spot where we could have our food... But I was not at all comfortable as it was in the open area & we had lot of taxi drivers standing there & we were finding it very insecure!

So we packed up & decided to take it back home & have our food at our "Home Sweet Home" ... You will never ever find a place like that :)
