Golu update!

With Navarathri season, things are pretty busy around me.  A few of them asked from the previous post about parcel and it's condition.



The parcel came in a good condition, but was a bit delayed due to custom clearance.  I asked mum to send some dolls and saree for Golu.  I've always spoken about Navarathri and Golu year after year...How can I afford to miss it this time?


This year's Golu is a bit special(to me, every year is special) because I increased the steps and added few new dolls....thanks to mum and MIL.  I did struggle a bit to create the steps, but surprisingly, they came out really well.  


I wanted to so something different all the time for Navarathri.  And this is the festival I look forward every year.  This year, I made a little invite in paint.net, printed them, hand decorated designs and invited friends!! Got a great feedback about the invite. 


I got the gifts, gift bag and it's all set to welcome the huge crowd that's coming this weekend.  A few of my non-indian colleagues whom I invited were so eager to know more about this festival and were triggering out questions after question at office, out of curiosity.  


Overall, it's been really fun arranging these things albeit the sleepless nights.  


Take a look at this year's Golu festival...




Happy Navarathri to you all...

    I like the arrangement. When I was young, we were living in flats and many neighborhood maami's would organize golus, invite us and give sundal, sweets and many other things! Oh, how I miss those days. We kids used to go as a group to many houses (even unfamiliar houses) to get the goodies. How they too loved it!
