The "other side" is definetly green as far as festivals are concerned. <br />I can guarantee she is not kidding when she talks about the godly cover-versions of current hit songs. I remember one picked up from Tridev.."oye oye...oye Sai baba....Shirdi sai walee.."<br /><br />And , on dhandia nights , your eyes are never been busy anyother time of the year. I used to have first to fifth crush on the same night:) Dusshera Subhakankshalu to you too and every one else.

Festivals..cool time of the year..favs being diwali and sankranti a.k.a crackers and kites :). This post is such a nostalgic trip down the memory lane :).

Having a mother who was a Hindu, brought great benefits for me from my maternal side. Every major Hindu festival, we'd rush off to 'Paati Veedu' (Grandma's house for the non tamilians :) ), and good ol' Thaatha (Grand dad), whose blue-eyed boy, I was, would make sure, there were enough sugar canes during Pongal, and enough fire crackers for me and my brother during Deepavali. Not to mention, Paati's delicacies on such occasions. And during Ramzan or Bakr-Id, my maternal side would come over to our house to feast on my mom's widely popular biriyani. Of all, I miss my late grand dad the most. How I wish he was still around. Good post. Having a mother who was a Hindu, brought great benefits for me from my maternal side.
