Buddhist Maha Vihara

I grew up in this place. I've gained my very first education here , only if  I could turn the clock as I carry many beautiful and funny memories as a child. Buddhist Maha Vihara is a special place as I ended up teaching in the school where I studied :)

I've always wanted to show Bee this place, we never found the right time and I must say this that April 30, 2012...........we had an awesome night walking inside this temple. Of course, the structure and facilities have changed over the time but I could clearly remember the lotus fountain and the chikku tree spot (it's no longer there,the tree was removed almost 20 years ago I guess).

The main temple.

The main entrance lotus fountain....we made a wish and threw coins in it!!  

Inside temple.

The lamp lighting!

We'd received blessings from the  Reverend (Buddhist monk) and I'm happy that Bee felt the place is divine.

Nish's 19th Birthday

The home's youngest a.k.a Bansoori @ Soori's 19th Birthday. After all the years missing out birthdays and wedding functions, we had the opportunity to celebrate her birthday. I still remember feeding her 1st year birthday cake  right after my high school days. All the good memories are somehow attached to our old home. The gift for the birthday girl ------- Estee Lauder eye shadow pallette, Marc Jacobs roll on , Estee's lip gloss , Swarovski crystal earings and the birthday cake of course ! I knew that was never  too much from a lovely sister like me ? :P
