The wonderous leaves of India.

15-09-13.

Went to the heart of Chennai ....... Mylapore .

What an experience  driving beside the  sea side first to an old school .this is the old residential areas of Chennai.that quaint  old world charm, crowded lanes , surrounded by temples, temple bells chiming away somewhere in the back ground,small shops overloaded selling all most all the things one can need. Hawkers galore ,went to the Shri Sai baba of shirdi temple.very old and wonderfully built.got the books of baba I wanted.

Then to kapaleshwar  temple tank area for food at the old Saravana hotel.what gastronomic delight that was ,tasted Adai for the first  time.

Then came the most delightful bangle shop full of coloured glass bangles ,this I cannot resist so got some churis for  my daughter n I .some very colourful bindis for tanaya my first born.felt happy.the whole street was full of treasures in small shops ,with clay golus  displayed on both sides of the street 

harkening  Navaratri.what festive atmosphere.the  earthen ware shop has a special charm for me ,so I cannot not mention it full of lovely Diyas of different shapes and sizes

Then the most refreshing thing on the little cart ,a cart full of  Indian herbs ,o! It was a sight for sore eyes, so many different kind of leaves of variety of colours,all shades of greens and red ,the smell of them was divine.It took me back to my childhood day ,of Ma's wonderful chorchoris and  Labras,and chachras.which I always ran away from but now miss her and all that she cooked and stood for.Life  really teaches you things you never knew existed,and love teaches to forgive.may all who read this get the vibration of love .love you Ma n Baba.

Got a lot of thankuni. Pata for my grandson eight month old Devaraj ,puidatas,meethi patas,lalsaag.
My heart was singing with joy.Sure my mother was smiling at me from a far away cloud.
At present I am staying with my younger daughter in Chennai.


Happy Onam to all.God bless. Thank you.
