NavRathri @ my place

Guest Blog by Karthik

It’s now the Dhashara season. We spent the whole of yesterday evening arranging dolls and decorating. Gholu as it is called in the south is really entertaining. The function is mainly for girls and female members in the family. Evenings are real fun. Thinking of 12 years back…. My sister and me go around to friends and relatives place inviting them. The best part was the song we normally go and sing in all the places (Lambodara lakumikara). That was the period I started learning carnatic music and that was the only complete geetham I learnt. I really miss those lovely days.

I am seeing the Navarathri festival after close to 6years (1999-2004). It somehow looks more modern nowdays. Those days we decorate the display with color papers etc.. I see more of serial lamps now, I used to setup a theme park or play area with mountains etc (what a combination right?) but I very hardly find all that nowdays.
