Eating the Fun Way!!!!

Few days back Prakruti didn’t want to eat… and I came up with this story….. Gods don’t eat by themselves, when we eat, each piece is for one God and when everyone eats Gods get their tummy full…. The first piece is always for Hathi jeje (Elephant God or Ganesha). Once Ganesha ate, he said my brother is also hungry eat one piece for him also.. So the next piece is for Muruga jeje. After eating his share he said, all my strength is from my mom so eat for her also.. And the next one is for Parvathi jeje..

With this her pappu mammam (dal rice) was over… I will probably add valli deivanai and other Gods i

Staff were excellent - amazingly courteous - special thanks to Mr Ayas (i hope that is the correct spelling) who seemed to have the whole place in control single-handedly! Vegetarian food was also pretty comfortable.  The grounds are maintained ver
