April 5

This is a very memorable day in my life . On April 5 , 2007 I had my baby shower . My mom and Dad came all the way from India to do this function . I was very happy to have them here . My Best Friend Mathangi and RK anna came from Boston , to attend this function . I was really very happy that they came here the day before itself . I felt as though I had all my relations here when mathangi and RK came here .
On the day of the function , I woke up early and cooked for the day . I prepared pongal ,chutney , sambar for BF . For lunch - rice, sambar, rasam , cauliflower kootu , potato curry , paayasam and vadai . By the time all others got up and amma & Mathagi came up to kitchen and took charge of cooking . My friend Sujatha and her MIL also came for the function . She is my school mate and I felt very happy when she came here with her MIL . Ramesh Iyer from Aurora temple came to our house to do the function . My daughter was very happy when she heard all the mantras uttered by him , for her .
The function went on very well and Mama came here to bless us . We were very happy when we had His blessings and he gave us Darshan in the form of a light . My brother Kaarthik, In-laws, Bhelpur mami , SIL , Prakash Mama were watching the function through skype and they too showered their blessings for me and my baby .
During lunch : When we were having our lunch , RK anna said - cabbage kootu is very nice. I got very tensed . Without saying a word I asked my hubby - can u tell what kootu is this ? He answered the same , My mom , Sujatha's MIL all said the same . Then I said that it is not cabbage and it is cauliflower. [ From that incident , I would never ask my hubby wat is the vege in kootu ] .
The day ended very happily and I still have these memories so fresh in my heart.
