The next week rolled by in a happy frenzy

L amma : Dhanam intha vellikezhamai thaane namma Saadhana ku nakshatra porantha naal..koil la mottaikku ellam sollittiya..kaathum kuthidanum Dhanam

Dhanam : athai athu mottai nadula nadantha prachanaila mothal varusham vittuttom..nera 3 vathu varusham podalaamaannu amma ketka sonnaanga..

L amma : nalla thoonginaya Meena

Meena : hmm nalla athai..night la paappa move pannitte irukka..thoongave mudiyale..oli mayamaana ethir kaalam theriyuthu ippove

The other ladies all laughed..

Meena : illenga venaam..juice kooda konjam pogattum..namma saadhu bday plan pannalaam

They started planning the details..

Dhanam looked on with happiness..she was willing to give them a free hand ..she had no specific wishes..what everyone wanted she was willing to go with..

Finally after 30 mts of discussion

Meena : akka annikku neenga saadhu va kelapparthu neenga azhaga kelambarthu ithu mattum thaan seyyanum..mathathellam naanga paarthuppom

L amma : meena nee romba izhuthu pottukkaatha ..nallathu ille

Dhanam : ille athai ..kanna, en annan, anni ellarum seivaanga..neenga bhayappadaatheenga

The next 2 days rolled by in a flurry

They had a nice pattu pavadai arranged for Saadhu for her birthday..Jega had come home to show them the diamond earring he had bought for his niece..

L amma : yen Jega ivvalavu selavu..

Kasthuri : ada ethana varusham aasai mma avuhalukku podattum..maamaa podaama vera yaaru pannuva ithellam..ille dee thangam..inga vaanga..

Saadhana went bounding over to Kasthuri..initially this loud voiced lady had been terrifying for the kid..but now she was used to her and her boisterousness

Kasthuri cuddled the kid affectionately

L amma : unakku pon kozhanthai venumnu aasai ille Kasthuri

Kasthuri: amaam romba..hmm enna panna..aana ippo Saadhu irukkaala..naalaikke Meenaku porakka poguthu ellam namma pasanga thaane

They merrily chatted..

Moorthy had coordinated completely with the temple for arrangements

Kathir took care of arranging the transport and food

Jeeva took the responsibility of buying all the items needed for the pooja..

On thursday night they all sat as a family..checking of the list to ensure everything was ready
