It was Tamil New Year (Chithirai Tiru-naal) this past Sunday. I went to a wedding on Sunday where the bride’s family was originally from south India and so there was some celebration of Tamil New Year at the wedding as well. Along with Belgian waffles to honour the groom’s heritage. Weddings with waffles and clips from Bollywood movies from the sixties and seventies projected onto a screen during the dancing are very good weddings, much better than my wedding, which involved a lot of crying and some unpleasantness.
So a belated Puthandu Vazthukal, as wikipedia tells me I should say.
