When Mahabali comes to town
This time around, when Mahabali comes to town, there will be a different reception awaiting him.
He will be broken by the devastation in His land, but He will also be heartened by how His people have come together - to help and support each other.
The floral carpet which brings together different colors, different fragrances and different shapes, will be replaced by a human carpet - of different religions, of different castes and of different economic backgrounds. Our differences are our strength: our differences are what makes our pookkalam so attractive and our differences are what makes our pookkalam complete.
In the midst of suffering and devastation, we will embrace our differences. We will celebrate our differences. And still remember that we are one.
Mahabali will go back knowing that his people have their hearts in the right places.
Happy Onam.
