Deepika Venkatachalam Instagram – A simple yet kyoot thala pongal 🫶🏼🥰 Have you guys ever been in a phase where you kept running and juggling between work and never had the time to spend with family? And on one day you decide to keep everything aside and be with them. No project, no work, or no amount of money will seem important to you that day. Our Thala Pongal was that day to us! 🥹 From the morning car drive to chamathu ah dressing up in traditional(I was styled by my MIl so extra happy hehe) to cooking pongal to the pooja to keeping food for the crows to eating the pongal made by us with simple breakfast made at home to spending heartfelt time with our family, it was a wholesome day with lots of kutty kutty moments to cherish. ❤️ As someone who grew up in apartments, I was always used to celebrating Pongal the ‘Very simple Kitchen’ way. This time for our thala Pongal, I got to experience the traditional way of celebrating with big kolams and decorations at the front door, especially varagu adupu la pongal panrathu. Tasted Yummmyyy max & I enjoyed every bit of doing it. Ofcourse my pro-MIL helped me with every step. 😌 I’m sure many of you guys would have seen my parents more often in this space & I don’t think any of you would have got to see RVP’s family. So this is his beautiful mom and handsome dad and my very own cute in-laws. 🙈hehehe. They both are the main reason behind our thala pongal being this wholesome and happy. They made sure we enjoyed every moment throughout the day and made us remember to pause once in a while and enjoy life’s littlest moments amidst life’s never ending juggling. 💕 “Isaiyaal oru ulagam Adhil nee naan mattum iruppom” 🥹🫶🏼 . #RnD #ThalaPongal
