This is an account of my first experience of Pongal celebrations in a typical South Indian village! :) This isn't the pongal pot... :P The week before we were to leave for Pazhur village for celebrating Pongal village-style, I remember wondering to myself whether or not I should be looking forward to it. In hindsight of course I can say, without a doubt, that I should've looked forward to it a lot more than I did back then!
