Kottaimariamman in Stockholm..????

Commuting in Stockholm metro trains is always interesting. There are pretty girls all around and most importantly when you smile at them, they WILL smile back instead of giving quizzical looks like our own Chennai girls.(FYI I have not tried this @ Chennai).

But today something else made my journey interesting. For the first time a girl's accessory attracted more attention than the girl herself. Yes it was the bag she was carrying... She was carrying a kind of our own typical 'Manja Pai'(Yellow bag.. the kind of ones which they give away in shops like Sarathas etc etc) which only a person travelling from Tiruverumbur to Kumaresapuaram would carry.

Whats more interesting??? In the bag with big bold tamil letters it was printed 'Kottai Maariamman Thiruvizha' and there were some other details about the Tiruvizha all written in Tamil. I looked at the girl once more..!! She was definitely a Swede and she was walking as if she was making a style statement with the bag.

I was soo curious and was desperate to ask her where she got the bag from but as I was approaching her, her stop came she got down the train and disappeared into the crowd. Since I was not able to ask her, I am pouring down all my peelings in my blog. :(

Actually it was my friend asta-la-vista. When she had come to India, I gave her a bag my neighbour had got from his vilage. She found it really cute and eco-friendly. :)
