Disclaimer: Dear all, please be informed that I is fasting from January 28 onwards. So this blog now turns into a holy crusade.And yes, the kavadi pooja has been confirmed. It's at 7pm at my place tonight. [They call it tekka. I call it the terrific tekka.] And sorry if I couldn't call you up personally to open up the invitation. I've been busy doing up my kavadi. Please be informed that I've lost everyone's number. So please call me up by 5pm to let me know of your attendance so that I'll know how many people to cook for. [Yes, I is cookin'] And since I'm blogging and I know what people reading this blog have been talking about, I might as well answer it.
1) Yes, it is true that I usually do a month's fast or a 48 day fast for Thaipusam or Theemithi but this year, it's different. I am only gonna fast for 3 days. But trust me, you can never do a better fast than me so quit the MSN conferences.
2) Yes, the kavadi pooja is gonna be done in the same house I got kicked out from. Too long a story to be explaining here. I is dead tired and need a break. Gotta wake up in an hour's time to start praying and continue with the kavadi.
3) Yes, I've confirmed the time now. So no need to be discussing on who's gonna meet where at what time. Piercing and prayers will kick off at 7am. So basically be there around 6am. If you're planning to come the night before to join me, then you're more than welcomed. So my dear denesh, no need to be shy. I don't bite. [I just punch when agitated] By the way, If you've got other kavadi's to attend to, then no worries. I'm not gonna fall and cry. Please stop making it seem like if you don't come, I will not carry the kavadi.
4) I need a favour. If you know anyone with lorry contacts, please call me to inform me about it. I am looking for a lorry/van/anything that can transport my kavadi. This year onwards, my mum has refused to count me in as part of the family. So no lorry for me this year. No blessings. No food and worst still, no money. That answers it.
The kavadi is more or less done. So thanks to all who helped out or offered a helping hand over the days. Someone who said she'll come at 11am but came an hour later. [I'm not talking about you esh] Someone who said he'll come at 9 in the morning but instead, came at 7 in the night. [I'm not talking about you durgesh] Someone who refused to bring along his digital camera to take photos just because he was having a bad hair day or a no hair day at all. [I'm not talking about you sanjiv] Someone who said he'll be there on Monday and didn't turn up but then messaged me to tell me that he'll be there on Tuesday and still didn't turn up but then called on Wednesday to tell me he'll turn up on Thursday only to call on Saturday and tell me that he couldn't make it till Thaipusam. [Not talking about you denesh] And finally someone who said she'll come over to help with the decoration stuff but then decided to play it safe coz she was having her......nevermind. [Name will not be mentioned].
Anyways, just in case you didn't know what this year's design was for my kavadi, a photo durgesh took of me while I was adjusting my kavadi:
Yes, that skinny boy in that, barely put together, lotus kavadi is me. Lot of work still left. Kudos to Mr. Durgesh for the snap. Will upload the rest of the photos tomorrow. By the way, clicking on image enlarges it.
