Another long day..fresh after my power nap.

Tweet

It is 4:30 PM as I write this post and I have just got up after my afternoon power nap. Feeling fresh after the much needed nap Today was another day I substituted for the teachers who got sick after their vaccinations on Monday. So I worked till 1 in the afternoon. In between, I got some 20 minutes of break to grab my cup of coffee and make a couple of posts on the other site. Today is the last day that we would have non-veg cooking in the house. We don't eat on Thursday and Friday is a full moon day( Purnima). We do not eat on Purnima day every month as my mother-in-law performs a special pooja( prayer) on full moon day. Hindus from North India ( Aryan descendants) consider full moon day as an auspicious day while those from Southern India ( Dravidian descendants) consider new moon ( amavasya) day as an auspicious day. And we have two Hindu calendars. One followed in Northern India has a new month starting on full moon day while in Southern Indian calendar, a new month begins from new moon day. So, Friday is the full moon day and the auspicious month of Saawan begins. We have no non-veg for a month. Lord Shiva is worshipped in this month and Monday and Friday, the days of Shiva and Shakti( Parvati, Shiva's wife) are important days where traditional Hindus follow some rituals. And I do them. So, today husband got both chicken and fish in little quantities. I made chicken curry for lunch before my work started in the morning. After work, I have fried fish and kept it for dinner. For my vegetarian self, I have made ridge gourd and Bengal gram curry. So, all done for cooking for the day. I am fresh after my afternoon nap and plan to spend some time online. It's another day without rain. Yay! three days in a row with no rain. I have called my gardener tomorrow and hope it does not rain. There is a lot of work to be done there in my garden. Have a good time in your mylot corner
