Hey guys!!! Wishing all viewers a Happy Pongal
13th Jan 2009 - Started as a normal day where I woke up as usual at around 8.15 am, finished the morning duties and sat to read the paper. Was going through the news about Satyam frauds and what they are upto still and the other happenings when I hear a loud noise, "Cuckoo.. would you mind having a bath it is getting late to office" Courtesy Mom. Ok ok.. and got myself prepared for the days work.
I reached office at around 9.30 am signed in the register and the first thing which stuck in my eye when I entered was 4 sugarcanes lying on the floor and the office boys starting to tie the thin ropes at the corners of the walls to hang few decoration stuffs. Ohh.. then I realized that the pongal decorations are on in the office. This usually happens every year where the ladies take some time off there work schedule to sit together in preparing the rangoli.
The day started for me by getting myself busy in working out few reports which have to be submitted for the day and replying mails. This took about half the day for me and just when i thought I need a walk, I could see the office boys and the ladies of our office getting themselves ready to decorate. The ladies as usual started their chatting before starting up with the rangoli stuff and then got themselves busy in doing it. This is the only time where you could actually see the ladies putting in there full efforts and concentrating to make the rangoli look as beautiful as possible. The only work where there is a lot of involvement among them. ha ha ha..
This time there was some add ons in the decorations like fixing up serial lights around the reception area where the decorations were made. The rangoli was prepared with a mixture of salt and color powder this time. Last time it was fully prepared with flowers. The sugarcanes were placed around the pongal pot and the decorations went on well this time. At 5 pm the pooja started and after the formalities we wished everybody and then settled ourselves to take few snaps.
