sankranthi

Just came back from Mysore after the festival...sankranthi is one of my favorite festivals...it brings to memories of my childhood...

Preperation for sankranthi starts almost 15-20 days b4 the day...amma begins cutting kobri and bella...drying them...and then comes the most interesting...tuffest part...making sakre achchu...amma does it soo well..i am fond of the "Mango" shaped sakre achachu

....after doing all this she wants me to distribute all this to all her friends,relatives....but i always fight with her...somehow after giving to some 5-6 house my enthu drops :(

when I was a kid..i used to wear Udda reshme langa..and take ellu to all houses...eega i dont go to so many houses...interest has decreased over time..:(

Though Deepavali was my fav festival as a kid, Sankranti was likeable just for Sakkre achchu (I was not a big fan of ellu anyways)...bere bere shape sakkre achchu hudki thinthidvi...oblivious of the fact that they all taste the same! ;)
