During my childhood days its from the arrival of spring and the opening of flower stalls we understood that the days of Onam are coming.
But now it is not the arrival of spring or the kannikonna reminds me of the festival season, but It is the ad films of jewellery and textile shops that reminds me of the festivals mostly the term discounts and shopping utsav which I repeatedly hear in those ads.
Few years back I went for shopping Which made me to write this post. There was rush in the textile floor including pongacha pathuma(term use for calling ladies who boasts about themselves)and sales persons. Sitting in the sofa near the billing section I saw a a gipse boy looking enviously at those huge shopping bags near the entrance.
Is this what maveli had wished for??In our epics it says that king maveli will come at that day called Onam from pathalam to see his fellow people and it's for that reason we are celebrating Onam.
May be my thought has reached god's ears. It happend suddenly. A wind came and then a kasavu thundu(piece of cloth Which gents use to put On their shoulders while wearing shirt and dothis)fell down from the display statue. The gipsy boy picked it up and looked On both sides smiled and just ran off from there. It was one of the beautiful smiles that I had ever seen.
