Today is my daughter Vandaana's birthday. The day commenced as usual with litttle fuss. Bulbul decided to take a longish nap which allowed Vandana to accompany her mother to the temple at Paramekkavu. Though she could not go in she bowed her head with all reverence and piety seeking the Almighty's blessings. It was sort of double whammy. in that thialso happened to be the day when good old Santro was reintroduced by its owner Kalyani who drove it first to the temple. Breakfast was Dosas for eating which I got a mouthful from the mother daughter combine who are the guardians of my weight los programme. Anyway all the ire dissolved when the present for Vandana was handed over to her. It was a Diamond ear rings set bought with great love and affection by her mother during her last trip to Eranakulam. The day then panned out uneventfull, with the usual birthday 'sadya' with two 'payasams'. One was from Tiruvambadi temple and the other from a local catering person. Lunch over Kal returned to school and the rest retired for their forty winks afternoon siesta. Sumathycheriamma and the ever green Kochamama were present on the occassion. Our daughter has crossed and entered the 'Thirties' threshold! Good Luck to her. Shanta dropped in in the evening to have her share of payasam as she had other chores during the day. Thus ended her 'sadya pirannal' for this year.
