Pookal(Flowers)

I am sharing some of my interesting findings about how flowers are related to malayali Women...
Poove poli poove poli pove ...if You are a Malayali then you will certainly remember this song.This is a Song sung by kids at the time of making of pookalam(flower carpet)during Onam season and for summer vaccation again we need flowers for vishu;kannikonna is also named as Vishu konna..the sight of those dark yellow flowers along with lord Sreekrishna...How can a Malayali forget such an amazing visual..
We need Bhagvan for each and Every moment of our life.Remember those petals of aambal, thulasi, thechi, thamara(lotus) which You get along with theertham and sandal paste...
   Time goes on.the littile girl grows up..time is winter now.Don't you hear the rythm of thiruvathirakali and the most popular Song "kaithapoo manam veeshum".Malayalimankas(girls) wearing kaithapoo in their head and playing thiruvathirakalli..
Not yet finished...Most of the proposal scenes starts with a rose flower 
and finally Marriage it is our custom to decarate the bride's hair with Jasmine flowers..
Then for the Wedding anniversery, celebration of the new one's arrival to the world.Every where you need flowers..
And finally the climax scene where your body is under that white cloth;people comes with wreath in their hand and tears in their eyes..
Don't You feel that these are true..A Great honour to All those flower merchants ,drivers who drives passenger trains which mostly carries tons of Jasmine and other flowers to kerala,the porters...You All make the life of Malayalees colourful and beautiful..
