Onam is celebrated in Kerala when the rivers are full and grass is green and the rains have receded - when things are looking green in all aspects! But being a Non-Resident-Mallu for a while, I don't really celebrate Onam outside of Kerala because it doesn't make sense - because the environment where you celebrate is a big part of the celebrations! Surely, I am an odd man out in that thinking!
But then the original intent behind many of the things we do was long forgotten and in fact becomes a ritual or superstition! So Onam is just another occasion to chill out and celebrate for those who claim to have their roots in Kerala!
So Happy Onam to all !
