JOHN WEDS TERESA

My brother Antony's son John married Teresa in Chennai. The mass was said in Malayalam and the sermon was delivered in Tamil. You will find both Catholic and Hindu customs being followed since we Christians in India were Hindus before we accepted Christ as our Saviour.

OTTAMTHULLAL

There is a Hindu temple near my house.Every year they have a festival for three days. During the festival days a variety of entertainment programmes are held.

One such entertainment programmes during this year was Ottamthullal. Ottamthullal is a very special art form of Kerala state. This is a dance, act and song performance by an actor dressed is a very colorful costume. I enjoyed it. I hope you will enjoy it also. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.
