Is it valid to wish Happy New year 2009 in Feb? I think I can :-) I have been absent for over a month being very busy with the shifting of apartments, preparation for our house warming and travel to chennai as well. But after nearly 2 years of wait, our apartment's construction and the internal woodwork, plumbing etc are all done!
On Feb 8th we had a grand housewarming ceremony! Nearly 100+ guests had come in and it felt great to have all of them come in and bless us.
Entering the house -

Performing the pooja -

Keerthu watching intently-

Lighting the lamp (my eyes are puffed from the amount of smoke!)

Boiling milk for the first time in the new house -

The Pooja room-

Receiving blessings-

About to do namaskaram-

Doing namaskaram-

Listening intently-

Keerthu bored with the proceedings-
