பொங்கலோ பொங்கல்! Happy Pongal!
This harvest festival is celebrated by the Tamil community over four days, from yesterday till Saturday, with each day accorded with special significance and practices. You may know about the joyful custom of letting a pot of milk, rice and jaggery boil over, representing abundance and prosperity. This is usually done on the second day (which is today) and is also what gives the festival its name, as Pongal means to ‘overflow’.
This year’s celebrations are somewhat subdued due to the pandemic. There’s still the Pongal light up at Little India to enjoy and plenty of online activities to tune in to here: https://pongal.sg/
May this season be filled with hope, blessings, and prosperity for everyone! – LHL

Mother’s love is totally unconditional. Only the chosen ones are accorded with this opportunity to personally care for their own syurga, regardless of the social status, wealth, fame and the likes. We obviously don’t have that much like those super lucky others but is perfectly sufficient just for us both. For that, Saya amat bersyukur dengan “keramat hidup ku” yang satu ini. Alhamdulillah. Semoga Allah SWT terus kurniakan ibuku kesihatan yang baik, umur yang panjang serta kesembuhan segera. Amiiin YRA ♥️💓💚🥰
