Vijaya Dasami 2009

The weather today was so...complicated!!
Drizzling, Raining, Windy then back to Sunny Day within a few minutes.. start again the sequence Drizzling, Raining, etc...
The wind was so strong until it blewed up on of my "WHITE" punjabi suit... I have to rewash again =.=

Yesterday, the Vijaya Dasami Celebration, the end of Navaratri Pooja for this year. It's quite heartbreath-taking!!!! Went there with rushing coz Ne wants to start the ceremony with broke the coconut, eventhough there was still so few people there n the prayers hadn't started yet, suddenly we realized hmm not we actually Wimla Ka realized that WE FORGOT TO BRING TO VARSE!!!!" then Akka n I went back to house, around 8 o'clock already. Then, take the varse which is laddu and jelebi.. N it hadn't arranged yet!!!! -_-'

Then, I arranged the laddu n friends, while Wimla Ka fixed her sarees which mixed up!!! Then, we were rushing like hell!!!!! I was thinking to have "doraemon door" again at that time!!!! Finally, we reached Brown Garden around 8.30 p.m for the last three bhajan songs! Huhuhu...

After the arathi, the goddess would be put on swing, and the procession was being done by most of the sisters (will post up the photos later). Then, the "unjal ceremony" began. One by one in line swing the amman. Finally, the ceremony ended with Kumbi dance by all of us!! It's kind of messy, but damn funny when some of us forgot the steps and screwed the dance..hahahahah
fun..fun!!
The celebration was closed by the dinner!
