Happy Onam - 2017


Onam means flowers and feast…
It means togetherness also…

This morning when I was making the pookalam (flower carpet), I had a thought…
I was mixing so many different varieties and colors of flowers to make a pattern which would fill my heart with childlike delight… Isn’t this blaring difference yet the lovely way in which they blend as one entity the underlying charm of pookalam? Isn’t the geographical, linguistic, religious and cultural diversity topped with sense of humanity that transforms this earth into paradise? S,o why don’t we join our hands to celebrate humanity which includes compassion to all the living beings and the universe over anything? And of course, preserve nature and thereby, handover a better place to our successors?
Food for thought?


Happy Onam to all of you J
