I want it ever'GREEN'!

If I am arrogant,

please correct me,

but don't abandon me

If I am boastful,

Please subdue me

but don’t boycott me

If I am lazy,

Please enliven me

but don’t leave me

If I am foolish,

please bear with me

and don’t forsake me

Scold me,

Haul me over the coals

But please don't walk out of my life

If the ‘Green’ goes off, then what will remain here...Oh Mother!

If your Big Beautiful eyes do not cast your care on me, who else will!

Kolu at Akhilandeswari temple last month!

This post had been lying in my draft for a long time now.  A new tradition of Kolu started at Akilandeshwari temple started this year, like the one at Meenakshi temple (although, the kolu is huge at Meenakshi temple).
