Golumania
The photos of the golu displays will be published after Wednesday. Some folks are actually of the view, that this blog reveals too much about their golu and people will see the photos and not be in awe when they come to see the real display. So we will not spoil it for them, considering most of the people in this circle, read this blog!
The displays we saw this year, were a step up from last years golus!
While waiting for the ladies to do their song routine, and eating some sundal, started counting the dolls on one golu and just on the steps there were 148 pieces. The whole thing must have been close to 450-500 dolls! Hats off to the ladies who set it up.
Jr. has now been inspired by all those kids singing and playing various instruments. She wants to sing in next years golus and the music training might start soon! She was a bold girl this weekend and sang "I love you, you love me" a Barney song set to Adi Taal and got a lot of hugs and kisses. Hey, you can only sing what you have been taught!
The little one is going in a different direction altogether, and wants to learn...
guitar!
You can see for yourself, what she has been upto, in her non-paavaadai time, earlier today. Thanks to YaadaYaada we learnt that SETMAX is availabe free as a trial offer. We turned it on this morning and lo and behold...
Boy, are we in trouble...

Awwww... so adorable. I'm telling you, I have a feelin that the LO is the one that's gonna give you a run for your money, even now she has that look that spells "I'm trouble!" and she's what 2 maybe 3 years old :D
As for the Golu's, I've never seen them with the exception of Tamil movies and your blog, so no matter how simple the women folks claim they may or may not be ... it is going to be fun to wait to see what they have in store for us. It is so cool that you guys actually spend your time and energy to do this kind of stuff. Back in the day when I was a kid, they would tell us it was deepavali, make us special food and tell us to change into new outfit on the weekend and we'd prolly watch a Tamil movie or go to other people's houses. It was like going to a b-day party but wearing traditional clothes. Maybe, maybe if all the kids got together we would have those firecracker(the ones that look like incense sticks).
I mean nowadays, they even have Tamil movies playing in regular cineplexes!
would love to see the display in 2 days. The kids are looking so cute in their pavadais!
sivajini, she is not yet 3.. another month to go..
you are right. we are in trouble.
JAM, thanks. heard you got some sleep.. congrats!
btw, San points out that YaadaaYaada did not tell us about SETMAX. another non blogger friend did..
did not intend to cause kozhappam in either kudumbam with the wrong reference..
;)
