Onam away from home at Borehamwood

I am too lazy to write anything at this moment other than say we had a short taste of Onam outside of Kerala in the distant land of Borehamwood in the outskirts of London, UK. Perhaps, Hilal will have a moment of inspiration and will write a big essay; I will then link to it ;)
It was the first for all of us in our small group in the UK, even though most of us have been here for quite sometime now. Surprisingly, the event was well organised, much better than my expectations, especially the Onam sadya. The taste of the payasam still lingers in my mouth. It was also a pleasant surprise to see so many malayalee's in this little town. Without much ado, here are some photos -

Sand Animation

Sand animation is the name given to a style of live performance art in which the performer creates a series of images using sand; a process which is achieved by applying sand to a surface and then rendering images by drawing lines and figures in the sand with one's hands. To increase visibility and to add further artistic aesthetic, a sand animation performer will often use the aid of an overhead projector or lightboard. Watch this Sand Animation by Ilana Yahav ...and this one by Ferenc Cakó . It is a video of his live performance at SICAF 2003, in Seoul, South Korea.
