Why we are depending on ready made foods? Lack of time or easy way of having dishes in our home? We are losing the traditional Onasadya that is prepared in our home by all the members of family, the happiness of getting together etc. Even flowers for pookkalam is buying from the shops. Thumbappoo, kakkappoo, thechippoo such flowers are not familiar to new generation. Kerala culture has changed a lot.Now we are celebrating onam simply sitting before television, getting food from hotel,etc.

Hi Lijin,
You are right.But I think we are not trying to do something valuable against this situation.We are simply blaming price hike and Government.We are not thinking about why this situation came,is there any solution etc.Let us hope for the best.
