Sankranti subhakankshalu / Happy Pongal
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Every Year, I would go to my home town for Pongal Holidays. But this year decided to spend here in Hyderabad in Goltu istyle.
Sankranti Subhakankshalu.
In Andhra Pradesh, the festival is celebrated with a special color kolam (Rangoli) at their house, cooking food with the harvested rice and flying kites.
On demand prepared sakkarai pongal and Venn Pongal and it did came well.
Friends came home and a kutti conversation at home

P : Verupu yethadhada :(
R : Okka Nimisham. Glass Bowel + Sakkara Pongal + Cashew decorations. Aunty - Happy Pongal, Yenga Veetula Pongal senjom.
Ting Tong... Ting Tong...
Aunty : Sakkara Pongal Super.. Inthangapa Nanga Senjathu. Oru Plate fulla Masal Vadai, Ullutha Vadai, coconut Bhurfy and konjam paal payasam koduthanga :)
R : Mission Complete :D :D
I actually don't remember my childhood days of flying a kite. Deal, Maanja, pattam yellam nan konjam weak. Avi invited me for celebrating sankranti at his house. tappu tuppu duum was at avi's house by 12 noon. I 
really enjoyed the day by flying kites. vekkakedu.. learnt to put the thread, flew kite, lost many kites, total TP. Ppl here enjoy the whole day by flying kites. Every one of the house from thatha, paati, Cousin, ladies to kids assembled at mottai maadi. 
Aaratai, mokkai, loud music, cut others kite and then shout like mad, murruku and seedai are the repeated activites. Finally at around 5 o clock, when the wind was better we decided to fly the dragon kite gifted by ganesh. A huge, pro kite from US. Way back home stopped by necklace road, was zapped to see the whole enthu hyderabhadies flying kite there.. It was an awesome view, were you see thousands of kite flying in different colors at different heights. Different experience, another good day in my life..

Hyderabad 10K Run [24644] Nov 25th 2007
Sunday, November 25, 2007
Actually it wasn't a 10K Run, but a 10K walk this time.
Not Bad 1hr 40 mins (100 Min), as i thought it would take 2hrs for a person who got ACL reconstructed just 6 months before. Myself and Srikanth decided to walk the show and would pull off on discomfort. We reached Gate 4 and got ourselves registered (hmm vekka kedu - blackla). Registration forms got over and counters were closed, a random dude shared his (never turned) friends registration with us. So finally 24643 (Sriks) and 24644 (balu) along with Renga, Jawahar, Sarat and Pandey (I Guess) started the walk/run by 7.18 AM. The crowd for me seems to be less when compared last two years. But one could see mom cheering kids, guys cheering gals, rock band stalls cheering the participants, corporates, schools, handicapped on the track. Hats off to each and every one who participated in the run irrespective of whether they finished or not. Not sure what we chat, it started from fitness to food to bloggers to flickr to camera to Office practice and what not, in the middle at sight of 7,6,5,4,3 km to finish we kept on encouraging each other as "Not Bad Maaan". We finished the Run and the clock ticked 8.38 AM. Another final "Not bad Man" we did it in an hour and 40.
Felt proud, as usuall Minerva BreakFast and a Good Sleep .
What else i require on a Sunday. Another Good Day in my life.
Last Year
