Vinayaka Chaviti 2013

After many years, it's just the 3 of us, no other friends, family. I was recovering from a slight episode of dehydration yesterday, and Srinivas is really busy with his Oracleworld marathon, so I decided to do a "simple" pooja today. Of course, once I started, it snowballed pretty quickly, ending up pretty close to the usual scale, but since we did not need to wait for any guests, we were able to start early. Of course this also meant I was able to take more time and explain the pooja in detail to Aditya and also make him read the story (english translation of course). Aditya and Srinivas went and gathered the leaves and decorated the mandapam, so full family participation this time.
