Dear Sumi,
Welcome home to Kerala !!!
Amidst all the good-byes, it will be nice to get a 'welcome home !'
Is this your first Onam in your hubby's place ? Seems he is from Kollam. I am not familiar with the Onam celebrations in Kollam, except what some friends have told.
Do post about the Onam celebrations, like what all rituals you saw, what was the food, how was the sadya like, etc. etc.
So, Onam greetings ! Or, Onaashamsakal !!!
