  • Ponggal Essentials

    Earthern Pot

    Traditionally, a newly made clay pot is decorated and placed on a firewood stove in the open yard of the house, ready to face the rising sun. This firewood stove is made by arranging three stones represent love, patience and eliminating desires. The pot is adorned with ginger roots (indicating good health) and turmeric stalks (to ward off evil), and marked with vibuthi (sacred ash) and vermillion. In these modern times, cooking Ponggal in a stainless steel pot in the kitchen is also deemed acceptable.

While Ponggal typically isn’t celebrated in all its glory in the city, in rural areas and farms, Ponggal proper is a joyous four-day event that is embraced as a harbinger of hope and prosperity.

  • 11 years in Oaxaca, Mexico – Personal Discoveries

    I’ve been living in Oaxaca for over 11 years now and I feel more at home here than in the Big Apple where I was born. When I first got here, I was going back to the states once a year but now I haven’t been back there for over 6 years and, to tell you the truth, I don’t even miss it. All the creature comforts that people have in the states are mostly absent here in middle-class living. Hot water is a luxury that most don’t have, nor need, forget about carrot peelers or TiVo. I can’t even remember what it’s like to have a long hot shower, not only due to the absence of a water heater but also due to the permanent water shortage here… turn on shower and get wet – turn off shower and lather up – turn shower back on and rinse off – turn off shower and dry up. No jacuzzi with jasmine bath salts in my near future but… so what.
