Guest guest Posted October 11, 1996 Report Share Posted October 11, 1996 A question to Prof. Vasudha Narayanan: Professor: I gather from your postings that you take a lot of interest in celebrating our traditional festivals. I know from my own experience that festivals use to generate lots of enthusiasm. For eg. New clothes during Deepavali meant a lot to us. Even things like decorating with Kolam, with mango leaves etc., gave a sense of auspiciousness to the whole occassion. Thus celebrating them was considered to be "Kshemattirku arikuri". It sort of gave a feeling of prosperity, happiness and family togetherness. I know my parents had a very key part to play in generating this type of enthusiasm. Women of today does not seem to care very much for these traditions. Kolam etc., is long forgotten. I am pained to see that such wonderful traditions are vanishing or fading away before my own eyes. Do you have some thoughts on how to revive these wonderful traditions. Thanks. Vijay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
