At the entrance of Shiam's house

Admiring the beautifully decorated kolam at the entrance of Shaim's house.

Behind us is a tree hanging with many many Deepavali cards.

See how thosais are made ....

Demostration by Shiam ..


Ooops .... somebody take a shot at me while I was taking shots of Shiam's

Murukku, chicken & mutton curry, thosai, putu mayam etc ..

Yes, these are all the delicious goodies that Shiam has cooked up for us. Aren't we a lucky bunch to have such a wonderful friend! We not only ate there but our hostess even "tau pau" the food for us to take home too. Even our family members at home get to eat Shaim's food. Cheers to you, Shaim!!!



Some group pictures to remember by ....

Story Telling Time

Our hostess entertaining her guests .........
Wow, must be quite a story lor judging from these expressions ...

Chitchatting & relaxing after the wonderful meal









Time to go ....

The 4-5 hours spend at Shiam's was thoroughly enjoyable & superb. The environment, the company, the jokes and the food were all great! All in all, we certainly had a wonderful Deepavali at Shiam's.

HAPPY 2009 DEEPAVALI !!!!
