Ugadhi 2010

Last tuesday was Ugadhi, a festival celebrated by Telegus all over the globe. For those who do not know who Telegus are, for starters, this is the language predominantly spoken in Andhra Pradesh (Hyderabad, Vizag, Puttapathi etc) in India. Over the years, the natives of Andhra have travelled far and wide, some due to the British colonization and others to find a better life and ended up in all corners of the world.

This is me, a 4th generation Hyderabadi in Malaysia wishing all a Belated, "Ugadhi Subakanchalu"; meaning: Happy Ugadhi. ;)

I got up late, and decided on the spur of the moment that i was gonna go to temple coz i had my dance class in the evening. From then on i was on fast-forward till i went around 5 temples in Batu Caves, prayed, even managed to nab food from the offerings given (out of three pails of delicious rich food, i only manage to get one, ....but thats ok i guess considering the alt. Yikes). I managed to make it to office on time....ok no, i was 15 minutes late, but i brought sweets for everyone :)). In the afternoon, banana leaf rice with the colleagues and tea with the bf.

oooh and in conjuction with Ugadhi, i decided to go all Telugu-ish and order an Andhra Dosa for tea, BIG MISTAKE!



The Dosa has Chilli! like a whole layer of it...Imagine biting into cili-padi!!

And that was my 2010 Ugadhi celebration.

Sadly, I don't see the relevance you elebrating whatever you call it "Ugadi". It's racist like u that make Hindus like me puke.

The bane of a jackasses tale.

Grow..not sideways.

I'm sorry my post makes you puke.
But I'm not sorry about what i wrote.., just because i celebrate ugadhi doesn't make me a racist. I suggest you go and look up the definition of being a "racist"
