Prepared a huge table full of festival foods for our New Year celebration | Rural Me

Finally the waiting is over to indulge in all the delicious sweets, pickles, chutneys, fresh fruits and berries in the trees as the New Year Is Finally Here!

Our most joyous childhood period was the new year(Avurudhu) season. It was a cherished and a memorable seasonal joy where we kids got brand new clothes, many varieties of yum sweets and delicacies in abundance, and all our relatives gathered in one house. The whole house is busy getting ready for Avurudhu and over and over again Those sweet childhood memories started to come into my mind in this Avurudhu season where the air is filled with sweet fragrance of oil cake(kavum), kokis(rice flour crispies) and ripe banana combs are smiling in the kitchen. The entire nature get dressed to welcome the oncoming new year with Erabadu flower trees in the edges of the fence are clad in deep tomato red Erabadu flowers and the cuckoo bird singing his sweet seasonal song and the Avurudhu sweets fragrances are flowing in the air, the rice pounding sound of the village mill, and the left over hay bundles that are stacked in the empty paddy fields, all says the same beautiful story of the arrival of the new year!

thank you all!
