Chorunnal Happened
I had been waiting for a long time for this. Everytime I looked at someone's plate of food I was told to wait for my "Chorunnal".
The great day finally dawned. I was whisked away to the base of Chamundi Hills in Mysore, to a "Guruvayoor Temple" where my Achacha and Achamma had already made arrangements.
It started on a happy note because they removed my clothes. hen they wrapped a mundu around me which was also fine. But then a whole lot of strangers kept coming up to me and talking to me and pinching my cheeks. Adding insult to injury, I was made to pose with various people and my trigger happy dad kept clicking pictures. Talk about child abuse.
Anyway, I was finally made to sit on Abhi-Pa's lap and he tried to feed me something. I am not sure what exactly happened but there were some twenty hands pushing things into my face and I decided to howl away to glory hoping they'll stop. They did stop...after a while.
All said and done. I thought the ordeal was over when we came back home and was looking forward to some good food when they repeated the same face-stuffing activity all over again. And to top it all, I got nothing to eat other than the standard "pala" and Cerelac and Ragi. So much for Chorunnal. Hope things improve soon.

Happy Eating!
