Which is not really why I am back again. I want to tell you, I loved this post and thanks much for doing such a beautiful and informative post. <br /><br />The Golu is so tradition, I have seen some in the past too, but you revived old memories. The floral "rangolis" are so beautiful, I wish I could do some here too.PreeOccupiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11976093401508848605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286717835195834907.post-56296643837011997912010-10-08T09:22:12.661-07:002010-10-08T09:22:12.661-07:00Kamini, this was the perfect way to start my morni...Kamini, this was the perfect way to start my morning.

We were the only home, that used to keep the Golu...so everyone would just come home...and have the hot filter coffee and Shundal.<br />Loved the flower rangolies and all those beautiful golu dolls. I am desperately looking for these Golu dolls...and i believe you probably only get in Chennai...<br />Thanks for the lovely post...makes me want to reach out and give you a hug. Thanks the lord, I dont have your number...:)<br />Anyway, grab that ox and all those precious mud dolls...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01190615872185515367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286717835195834907.post-52240073999619180112010-10-07T20:18:03.975-07:002010-10-07T20:18:03.975-07:00What an awesome awesome post!!
