It has been a busy 10 days with lots of people coming home for Golu and lots of visits to other poeple’s golus. The Garba celebrated in a modest way at the temple filled me with nostalgia transporting me to my college days at Baroda when my friends and I used to have the time of our lives dancing garba and raas way past midnight. I wanted to post this earlier and invite you all home for golu, but I still want you to be a part of it. This time I tried to recreate a barn for my daughter who loves old McDonald and his farm animals. To read more about the significance and tradition of golu read this and this.
This goes to Vee who is hosting this special edition JFS:Dassera
Hema,
Love the barns, the hay and the golus. That is my new word for the day, golu.
Warm Dassera greetings to you and yours and thank you for participating!

We took down the old playground we had! Golu looks great:))

Happy New Year, Hema.
You have a wonderful blog here and I was shocked to see your recipe for yelai vadam and kandathippili saathamudhu. I have lost my first part of Samaithu Paar and heaved a sigh of relief to see that recipe here. I also visited Latha’s Yum Blog. I am a tad envious as I lack good cooking skills but maybe I can learn from you all!
