Yes! So finally I think I have broken the Sunday curse π And ya today is supposed to auspicious etc etc , so lets hope the blogging Gods(servers?) are on my side π

So why Β these? They are gifts for people who came for “Kollu”.
It is a practise here for girls/women to arrange dolls during the 9 nights(and it is the practise of boys/men to eat all the sundal/puttu/whatever given).

But yes, while it is supposed to be for girls alone, boys/men help as well(like getting the dolls down from the loft etc π );
When I was younger, I used to make an elaborate display of all my hot wheels and other toys. Now of course I do not have the time or the patience to participate( in fact this time, I looked through the kollu only when I took the photos {advantages of blogging, note} ). Ha well , at least I ate sundal π
Anyway, I think I will stop with the photos about kollu , its origin and sundries, well if you are curious, search the blogs, you will be able to what you are looking for π
Vijayadhasami is supposed to be a day, when it is good for new beginnings. Like how everyday is not a Sunday, everyday is not supposed to be good enough, fine enough I guess π So let me pass on a few awards(which IΒ receivedΒ during my Sunday blogger days π )
Avada and Kanagu passed on the Humane blogger award.Kanagu also passed on the Addicting blog award. Also DI passed on the Coolest blogger award π
Avada and Swaram, also passed on the I love your blog award Β π Swaram also awarded me a golden pen and the friends award π
Now that is a lot of award π π π I would like to pass these awards to all my blogging friends(if you think I am your friend, then I am your friend π ) . Its been great knowing you all π π π We bloggers are special π π π
And Avada also gave me this π π π
Thanks a million you all π π π And special thanks to Avada.. π π π
SO with this I hope I have beaten the Sunday blogger curse. I had time yesterday as well, but stopped myself from posting to break the jinx(talk about beingΒ superstitiousΒ π ). Now I hope to post again before this week end( am not going to say what I am going to post, every time I do that, I seem to curse that very topic/idea π ) .

It was nice to know abt kollu though! I didn’t know something like that existed.

nice work! congrats for the awards.
Nice! Must be fun to make them too. My senior year of high school I got hold of some equipment for doing a little work with glass and found it very relaxing.
Lovely pics! The Kollu looks lovely! When I was young, my music teacher used to make Kollu and these pics brought back memories..Thanks!
The pots look lovely!
And congratulations on your awards!
π Interesting custom..The pots have been done nicely,with bright plesant colours..
Congrts a ton for the awards and thanks a load for giving me those awards π
