Anybody wearing it is bound to look gorgeous! And though I'm not much of a sadhya freak, the payasam (dessert) is a must-have.

It is also interesting to note that ladies palmed off the hard work to men colleagues.Of course, they would have been thrilled to decorate the office and serving all of you.I can imagine the fun and laughter and every one trying to show off their lovely onam sarees and gain the admiring glances of men colleagues.<br /><br />Yes, Onam is a time of celebration and there is alway great fun in office celebration.<br /><br />I agree many ladies prefer jeans to sarees because it is easy to wear and convenient to move around and do work.Saree have become ornamental and worn with great difficulty on special occasions.These are the modern times and I can see lot of changes in all aspects of living.<br /><br />I am happy to read that you took some time off to have a grand celebration but at the same time I was sorry to note that you had to suffer head ache and back pain by the end of the day.<br /><br />Traffic jams are terrible in the city of Kochi and it is a pity that the government embroiled in their own squabbles have no time to look into the pathetic condition of the roads especially during monsoon. People in Kochi are very patient and forbearing and will put up with this kind of driving torture very patiently and suffer in silence. I can foresee that nothing is going to improve in the near future.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading this interesting post.<br /><br />Best wishes to you and your family:)<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505046.post-24896590763912544682010-08-31T15:29:13.327+05:302010-08-31T15:29:13.327+05:30@Haddock,
