Afternoon finally and I am sitting down after many many hours of cleaning the house.
Got woken up at 6 AM today to make tea because once the Pooja starts in Allahabad (अस्थि विसर्जन) one can't cook anything at home.
As the woman of the house I was required to do a cleaning ritual which includes cleaning of the house and throwing away all the items used for cleaning once done.
My SIL and I got down to business, and she tackled cobwebs while I tackled dusting and cleaning the floors since the cleaning of the floors is specifically required to be done by me.
After all this the porch had to be cleaned which took a good long hour and got done by the two of us and after all this I was required to take a bath and put flowers on the deceased's photo and do a ritualistic cleaning of grains that will be cooked this evening.
Phew!
Can't make tea which I'm craving and so I'm drinking some instant coffee dissolved in hot water.
I'm so done!
