Indian festivals: Happy Onam

Before I moved here, I heard lots of rumors about all the Indian festivals. And it`s not an exaggeration to say all of them. There are so many of them, there is no way I can keep track of them. But this wednesday, we celebrated Onam, the harvesting festival of the state of Kerala. And what are festivals like here? There is colors, food, flowers, laughter and fun everywhere. 

And for the very first time I wore a Saree, that amazingly pretty dress the Indian women wear  when they want to show their prettiest side. And I felt sooo pretty too. I walked around the whole day feeling like a Disney princess. 


Food is served: 
And it comes on a banana tree leaf, and you are supposed to eat it with your fingers, uah 



I got amazingly good help putting the Saree on. My God, it`s a complicated process. I don`t think I would be able to do it my self if my life depended on it. And at this point, I think that is the only reason I can think of for why I will not wear one every day for the rest of my life.
