Long timeout

It has been a long time since I posted, and it will be longer still before I get another chance to post. First we had Vishu, then we had to move our home, and now I'm off on to a family ceremony for my nephew's thread ceremony (pictures of Puthucode when I return!).

In the meanwhile if you folks can post comments about things you'd like me to write about, please do so, it will give me a good list to start off with when I get back.

Hello Ammupaatti,

Stumbled on your blog recently and read a lot of your posts and liked them a lot. I had forgotten what we used to do during grahanam and was surprised to remember a lot of things my paatti said and did after reading your post.

Please do write in detail about Poonal kalyanam and valakaappu-seemantham. Also please add a Label called 'Functions' or 'Customs in Iyer families' so that it is easier for us to sort through the posts.

I really appreciate your taking the time to post. Will be especially useful since we stay away from parents/in-laws and hope this is a lot useful in your family too.

Hi Ammupatti
Enjoyed your write up about the Iyer wedding and the list of mouthwatering dishes.
Please write more and more. It is so nostalgic to read all this since we are so far away from home.

warm regards,
