APPA's Sraththam - 2008
As I wrote earlier, amma's sraththam was on 26 June 2008. Appa's thithi is on Friday, 12 Sep 2008.
As usual this was performed at our house at Karpagam Avenue. We started purchasing the grocery items, butter, varatti etc a week earlier; the vegetables 2 days earlier.
A day before the sraththam, on 11 Sep, Padma akka, Athimber came by 7 PM, though we waited for them since 4 PM. Krithika went to Mylapore in the evening to purchase vaazhai ilai, pazham, Pushpam etc.
Vijaya and I started cutting vegetables like Pudalankai, Paagarkai, Senaikkizhangu, Vaazhaikkai, Vaazhai Thandu, maankai etc. As we had already disposed off our dining table and cots, we had to adjust Padma and athimber in Aditi's bed (arvind had gone to Goa for a week) and the Divan.
On the sraththam day, 12 Sep, we got up by 5 and started work. Jayaraman, Kalyani, Poornima were the first to arrive, as usual. Saroja, Sugavanam followed. Arun dropped Gayathri, Sowmya, Sriram at 8-15 and then he left. Mangalam came with Sudhan (he left immediately) Sudha came; then Ramamurthy athimber at 11.30 and Vijay at 12.30.
Sastrikal came by 1015 and sraththam started. I performed it. Completed by 12.30 Brahmanals ate at 1230 and all of us at 1.30. As usual, Padma, Saroja, Mangalam, Kalyani worked with Vijaya.
Everyone started leaving by 3-30PM. Sugavanam was here till 8-45 PM and he left after dinner. Arun came during the "break" (4-30PM) and then at 10.30PM to take his family home.
Thus Appa's sraththam went off well. Total expenses Rs 1900/- shared by us three brothers.
