Welcome 2009!

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-
