Amma's Sraththam - 2013
Amma's Thithi is Aani, Krishna Paksham, Ashtami.
This year (2013) amma's thithi came on Sunday, 30 June 2013.
Vijaya and I purchased the grocery items from Marthandam Stores, Lakshmipuram, Thiruvanmiyur. Vathyar Samangal like erumuttai, saraay were available in the house. A day before the thithi, on 29-06-2013,we purchased all the vegetables and fruits, and Vazhai Ilai from Thiruvanmiyur market. Earlier we purchased three blouse bits from Thiruvanmiyur itself.
On 29th evening, Vijaya and I cut vegetables. and made all prelim works. As the servant maid is absent for a long time, Vijay washed all the utensils needed.
On the day of Sraththam, we two got up by 4-45 AM and started the work. At 06:15 Jayaraman came with Kalyani. Sugavanam, Saroja, Mangalam, Sugavanam followed. We missed Padma akka. Later, Subha, Magesh, the children, Sudhan, Harshita and Ramamurthy athimber came. Being Sunday, Arvind, Krithika, Aditi, ARJUN were already in the house.
Everyone - Vijaya, Krithika, Saroja, Mangalam were extremely busy in cooking and allied jobs. Krithika, in 9-yards sari all through, did a remarkable job, God Bless her. Even Aditi did Athirasam job, cute child.
Sastrigal came by 10-30 and started the rituals at 10-40. This year a new Sastrigal came from TNagar. Sri N.R. Ranganaathan Sastrigal, he is a former classmate of Sugavanam, so we thought we would engage him as a family Vathyar. I was stunned to see him arriving in a car ! [99400 99644]
As usual I performed the Sraththam with participation from Sugavanam and Jayaraman. After 3 hours, the Brahmanals had their lunch by 1-30 noon and the rest of the rituals got over by 2-15 PM. Vathiyar dakshinai was abnormally high - 1000 + 600 + 600. Too expensive. Should we continue him for future ?
At 2-30 or so we ate. All of us except Arvind and Krithika ate in the first batch. Then one by one left. Savithri phoned me at 6 PM and I phoned Sundaresan.
Thus the Sraththam of Amma went off well. We brothers gave blouse bits to our three sisters, and to Subha.

Our darling child, one year old - ARJUN - took part (!!) in the proceedings. He played with so many thathas and paatties in the house. Total expenses for the sratham was around 4200.00
