My Scrawls

Belated Karthigai Deepam wishes to all. Thirukarthigai has always been very special to me. I love this festival of lights! I take immense pleasure in decorating our house with kolams and vilakkus. This year, the fun of this festival doubled, as Anna (my dad) celebrated his 60th birthday with his newborn grandson. I baked vanilla cake (Dad is not a fan of chocolates). Both mom and dad loved this special treat.
