The weekend was spent at home celebrating pre-onam and onam. The Onam sadhya was great. I published the whole set of Pooklam arranged by Anju this year.

Pookalam – Onam, 2024
Anju has been arranging flowers for the past eleven days (she started a day early). It took her 2-3 hours each morning to gather and organize them. I helped a little each day, mostly with collecting the flowers. They look beautiful. Here’s the set. Happy Onam.

It’s primarily long-distance truck traffic early in the morning, and they are much more professional Than others on the road. So it’s much easier to drive alongside them.
