Thaiupusam -2013 phaes two.-Vail! Vail!

It was more like people watching this year as there were not too many Kavadis involved. Years ago the street would be an endless lines of Kavadis with hardly a space to walk. It was real!
 The toll of the iron bell calls the faithful to their needs...Pink Floyd
You don't feel it anymore, not the same awesomeness, something was missing in the air. Too much plastic and foam boards!

Again the beauty today is in the simple down to earth sights of people lost in their own world of noise , smells and colors as they bore the noonday sun.

It is the purity of the mind that counts and not the heaviness of the mortification i suppose and today it is more fun than getting to become too serious.
When Minnie Mouse can join in the fun why not?
Time to take a breather and time to stand and catch up with the latest gossip.
Time to text a message and time pose for a picture.
We all live in a world full of life and the Dance of Shiva will keep moving until the end of time.
She is the future of her kind and this country and let us hope she will keep he heritage and culture for those yet to come.

And yes when in doubt, take a picture, do a sketch.

So, on we go! Towards the our final destination to the house of the Lord and present Him with our milk as a form of washing off our sins and purifying our souls.
