Happy Vishu to all of us - Vishu is symbolic of loads of happiness,
good luck and prosperity.
The festival of Vishu for me symbolizes lots of
goodies, konnapoo (yellow flowers). My
appa loves these konnapoo, I will be posting pics of the konnapoo. These yellow flowers represent freshness and
how we should take every new day as a fresh day and write new beautiful
chapters to our life. So I love you
Vishu, for me you represent a larger than life person who walks into our homes
every year. You give us a fresh new gift of 365 days and allow us to write on
it whatever we wish to.
Knock Knock on my door at 10 minutes past 4
today. I wonder who’s this and slowly
make my way to the main door. I see a
radiantly smiling individual with fresh new clothes and big goody bag in his
hand. My initial response is to open
the door immediately, but good sense tells me that I should first check before
letting someone in. I ask “ Who’s this” ?
Have I seen you before, I don’t
seem to recognise your face. He replies “ Oh don’t you?
You have been waiting for me all year round. I am Vishu, you pray to me
and I make a visit to your home every year.
Now will you let me in? I wish to
check out how you have decorated your pooja room this year and want to click
snaps to post on FB – I giggle and chuckle and allow this larger than life
persona into my home. His eyes swell
with joy and happiness when seeing the small decoration that my daughter Jyothi
managed this year. I was happy on seeing
the satiated look and satisfaction on his face.
I know happiness is here to stay.
This year’s Vishu is also special and has been
satisfying as our Dubai trip was so full of joy. Met some wonderful and
beautiful people. It is difficult for
me, Maddy and Jyo to put down in mere words the love, hospitality showered on
us by one and all on our trip to Dubai.
These are abtract as everyone knows and we can definitely not quantify these
and I do not wish to do so. There are a
lot of wonderful incidents that I need
to cover about my DBX trip but I have only 500 words to myself for this
blogspot. A big thanks to Ramesh and Uma
for the love, warmth and making our trip so very wonderful and worth
remembering.
Love always to all of you in encouraging me to pen
my thoughts and feelings.
