...would be a day in the month of Margazhi in Srivilliputtur or some simple village in Tanjore by the Cauveri. I would get up early and have my aromatic cup of filter coffee made by patti. Have a dip in the kolam and dress up in pattu pavadai. Say my prayers and draw a kolam outside ..amma guiding me how to draw. Sit in the kitchen and listen to the relatives talk general stuff. Have dosai for breakfast. Then do some work or help in making lunch. Have paruppu saadam with neigh and vatha kuzhambu in the well made with paruppu saadam, potato curry, appalam, thair sadam and mavadu orukai. Have a short afternoon siesta. Get up and have a cup of coffee and do some artwork. Get dressed with Madurai malli pinned to the braid. Go to the Andaal koil ..pray , eat paal kova/halwa..walk around the temple enjoy the feeel. Come back home, gossip with cousins...help in dinner. Eat. Sit on thinnai and watch people walk around. Read. Have a marudani session and girl chat. Sleep......
Hey ... I might be a mom but I can still dream :)

You make me nostalgic! filter coffee, pattu paavadai, dosai, vathal kuzhambu, kovil prasadham, marudhaani - I feel like singing "nyabagam varudhe nyabagam varudhe"
