Default My dear Meenu !

I am very happy that you find this week's post delightful.
I love the scene of rows of lamps kept in front of houses, those 2 days. That has a serene, divine beauty, which electric lights can never provide !
Thanks for your FB.
Happy karthikai !
Love & regards,
Chithra.

Default Hello Kanaka !

Welcome to the beautiful I L Home ! It is likely, that you will also get addicted to this site, as much as we are !
You are right, it is customary to buy 2 new lamps every year; even earthenware akals are good enough.
It is nice to receive your first F B, in my forum, Kanaka. Please stay tuned !
Happy Karthikai !
Love & regards,
chithra.

Default My dearest Indhu !

I am thrilled that you are visiting my forum.
I am more thrilled that you have given importance to the last part of my post.
We may not reach that level in this janma - but we can have that as our goal !
Thankyou for your colourful KAARTHIGAI VAAZHTHTHUKKAL.
Happy Karthikai to you, too.
Love & regards,
Chith.
