The statistical figures can be convenient tools for propagandist and effective ones to see a problem in
a broder perspective to solve it. What does it reflect? It starkly reflects a nation's abysmal failure to deal with a grave problem of spiral growth in population which is basically nullifying all our efforts to present ourselves as a civilized nation. Remember China is eight times bigger than us in terms of geographical spread,yet it has felt the momentous need to pursue a no-sense,ruthless ,uniform policy and compare it with that of our own.You need not be extraordinarily

It is amusing to see how deep rooted biases are making some members to question the manner of data collection. Also wrong data according to them is given by only minorities. To what extent can one go to feed to sustain one's biases!!

Here too there are lot of movements of women from one apartment to other exchanging Prasadams. The whole atmosphere is one of Festivity and happiness.
Onam is not celebrated here as there are no Malayalee families. In the entire Vizag there are very less number of Malayalees.

I normally go to my neighbors house for Lunch on Onam day and they being Malayalees have a proper spread and the meal is called 'Sadya' consiiting a dozen or more vegetarian dishes and 3 types of payasams ...Apparently a traditional Sadya has 26 dishes !!!!

Vara Lakshmi Vratam as is known in AP is associated with health benefits. Women get up early and prepare Prasad of different kinds which will help in boosting the health. Preparations are a combination of nuts, green veggies using plenty of turmeric.

Bursting out and venting the feelings once in a while is OK. But, anger has its disastrous effects on humans which kills the discrimination and rationality. Avoiding anger by distracting yourself by some other activity will only help.

Spreading the education is the solution. It's heartening to see women are coming of age from the minority communities. Everywhere there is a longing in the people for a change. May be after our generation will see the fruits of education.

Beautiful photo Usha, I really love the way colorful flowers are used in Onam rangolis. Are those coconut flowers that are kept in the brass utensil next to the diya?? I have loved that display but never was sure of what those flowers were!
Yes it is coconut flowers taken fresh from the tree...Onam is a colorful and family oriented festival so there is a lot of joy and happiness , with the entire extended family coming together !

It is an important festival in AP too. My home is filled with guests from the other apartments right now. Even the AP government declared as an official holiday on this occasion Varalaksmi Vratam.

According to many psychoanalysts an outburst is much better than lumping your feelings ...So an angry outburst once in a while is good for the system .As far as how far one goes and does depends entirely on the personality traits of a person !
