Saturday - Family day
Sober day today - Grandfather's death anniversary. Spent nearly all day at my uncle's place.
This is a typical Hindu function and usually consists of a 'Puja' where a priest arrives and conducts certain rituals at home. This is followed by lunch which has a standard menu plus one or two of the departed person's favorite items! The meal is typically south-indian, served on a plaintain leaf. The image nearby is only indicative and is not the real thing but you get the idea.
Usually, the entire family gathers again in the evening to polish off the leftovers. The excess is given away the next day. Altogether, it is an occassion where the entire family bonds with no malices.
