We had a really low key celebration this time, mainly because we didn't want my mother to exert herself into the laborious chores involved in the whole pujai. She has recovered well after the cataract surgery on her left eye earlier in the month, but the Doctor has advised her not to do too much of labor intensive tasks.
So much so, that she herself dragged me out of my TV-trance state in the sofa and made me draw the "communist kolam". And I must admit that I created quite a good kolam. This was it:
You may wonder as to why there was a big deviation in the path taken by 'Kuzhandhai Krishnan'. I didn't want to create any illusion that the Lord walked around in a 'thathaka bithaka' fashion like a baby. It was just a case of me choosing a wrong destination and then being reminded that I had to continue the walk to a different place.
But anyways, I went one step ahead (sic) and traced the path of the Lord right from the main door at the ground floor, through the stairs, joined them to the set that my mother had drawn from the first floor entrance till the puja room and then continued from the puja room till the puja spot!
This work earned me a lot of brownie points and totally negated the battle of Kurkshetra that my mother and I had earlier in the day. :)

1) The fact that Lord K was not much of a walker was evident from the fact that he had planted both his feet firmly together for each step that he took. So, rather than go "thatha, buthaka", I think he actually went more like "Bunthh, Bunthh, Bunthh"
2) Also this is proof that the supreme being has an expanse of not just our spatial dimension, but of time as well. Meaning he is infinity. Which is very evident from the fact that the front portion of his foot was rotated 360 degrees, so that his footsteps make the sign of "infinity".
Bravo.
