Saraswati Puja and eating Momelattes
Went to the Saraswati Puja yesterday; Saraswati is the goddess of Knowledge in Hindu religion, so it was appropriate to pray to her, because I do want a lot of knowledge.
Here is another statute of Saraswati; she is holding a musical instrument in two hands, a book in another hand and learning sacred text using the beads in the fourth hand.
Another funny thing was that they were serving Momelettes at lunch at the function. What is Momlette, you ask? Well, it is not so special Bangla Omlette. Apparently on the street corners in Calcutta, now called Kolkata, the vendors would say “double dim momlette”, which literally means two egg omelet!
I thought it was omelet made lovingly by the moms, but apparently not!
And hey, did you notice my dangling earrings (my first ones) and the nice bindi that I am wearing.
