Krish @ Sobha Palladian: Halloween @ Sobha Palladian Oct 2019

I write this picture blog specially for all the children in Sobha Palladian. What an enthusiastic show they put up ! Pl share this write up with your kids.

And we had 100% participation for the Halloween@Sobha Palladian Oct 2019.

And they turned out in their horrible best.
And many were dressed to kill, literally!

And a big thank you to all those sporting moms and dads for their painstaking efforts in making their children look as bad and ugly and gruesome and terrible as possible!!

So lets give these children & their parents a loud shout out and KUDOS!

Your are the the best. Horribly the best.

And you are all Absolutely & Awfully Awesome (AAA Rating). Each one of you !!!

Begin :

I approach a big glowing red-eyed and wide open mouthed carved pumpkin and ask, ‘So how is Halloween?’

And instead of a sob story that I was expecting, I got..

‘It’s the best thing that can ever happen to any pumpkin’, he (or she) answered brightly.

And with surprise I ask, How come ??

And the big fat one with glittering eyes answered..

Dude, Look at all the other options we have.

We could get all chopped into tiny bits, rubbed with salt over our wounds, smothered with red chill powder and spicy masala and then fried with oil in a sauce pan over a slow fire.

Or we can get chopped up, steamed in a pressure cooker and then dumped into a pot of boiling sambar.

Or we could get chopped and steamed and mercilessly ground and boiled with spices and vinegar and coloring agents and turned into a blood- red thick gooey liquid which is sold off as cheap tomato sauce!!

Or we could get finely grated and baked in an oven for your favorite ‘Pumpkin Fairy Cake’!!

But in Halloween at least, we suffer only from knife wounds and there is no further torture.

And I agreed. No wonder all of you are so happy - shining eyes and a wide laughing mouth!!

Next I catch a roving vampire and inquire, ‘How are the treats coming?’

‘Don’t ask’, he says in an exasperated tone, ‘You Palladians are so dumb’!

None of you even had the courtesy to offer me even a single drop of blood!

Do you folks seriously believe we vampires survive on chocolates, cookies and cakes??

And I quickly took a step back before his anger got the worse of him.

Halloween this time was different.

Not many pumpkins were butchered this time. And hence the mess in the Clubhouse was lesser. Experienced Knives were wielded with expertise, the gooey innards of each pumpkin scooped out quickly, jagged teeth were cut and eyes gouged out .

And finally the poor pumpkins were lit up with a lamp inside and displayed ! and they stayed griming throughout the night.

The number or witches and Dracula and pirates and other eerie denizens of the dark world were much more.

And this time the Chefs from Hotel Transylvania (of the animated movie fame) put up an elaborate buffet – a spectacular show of imaginations running wild !!

And we had freshly chopped fingers (no thumbs),

varieties of squishy gelatino eyeballs, blood worms sucking bone marrows

lower and upper dentures, chocolate coated baked coffins (with juicy bodies inside),

chopped liver jelly cubes with fresh blood-spread on top , and the pumpkin puke pasta!!!

And you can place bulk orders for any of these delicacies on ‘Awsome Anusha’s Kitchen’ website. This baker also has special gift packs of her famous ‘running nose and smelly feet’ candies.

And if you ever, by chance, go to her shop and make your payment, be sure to check your change and count your own fingers. She makes no guarantee for any of your missing fingers

And for even more grotesque varieties you can approach ‘Vinaya&Preeti’s Parlor’ @ Block 1 Floor # 6.
Caution & Waring : Most often the shoppers do not return back!

And there were some some vile tasting juices as well.

I guess this time some of the witches must have raided a Garnier godown. For many of them had wonderfully streaked hairs – florescent green, bright pink and green and flaming orange and red and some kids even had gold, silver and platinum shades!!

Absolutely stunning !

And last year’s witch from the top floor returned and the huge pirate too! And spiders crawled into homes.

And quite a few new scary people joined the band.

We had a Simba, the huge majestic lion and Sher Khan the fearsome Bengal tiger with a curved trail.

And Simba also gave a subtitle to his thundering ROAR for the benefit of all those hearig impaired folks in SP. What a thoughtful gesture. A true Lion King!!

Two young naughty devils with curved horns, one with platinum hairs and the other with bright red orange and black.

Lots of black robed witches and animated skeletons, captain James Hook.

And they all went happily stabbing at each other, clawing and making horrendous noises.

And the big witches and monsters were no less quite.

They were equally busy slicing each others throat, stabbing with kitchen knives, hammering people’s head and tearing at each other with inch long curved nails
