I am in my hometown, Hyderabad, India, and celebrating festivals and participating in rituals. Had the varalakshmi poojai on friday


and the last year's arrangements in atlanta looked something like this


I liked being with family this year...:)..before I say bye for now, wishing everyone a very happy independence day.

    thank you Ani...it is a regular sized blouse piece which i pleated and then ironed...I did not stick it. vaddanam is a simple chain with a pendant tied at theback...everything is a DIY of some sort..nothing store bought.
