I do remember writing essays in English, Telugu and Hindi on
the festival Diwali when I was in school J
Writing this blog post makes me wistful about those school
days!!
As a kid, Diwali was my favorite time of the year. I
remember bringing in the crackers and fireworks ten days before the festival
and allowing them to dry under the sun. J
Till my Childhood I use to wait for this day for just to burst the crackers,
rockets, sprinkles and caps gun, But I started celebrating when I really
understood the meaning of this festival.
This year, I have celebrated with Mom, Chaitu, Swat and
Rams.. Swat and I cooked some special dishes and yeah they turned out quite
yummy!! Shahanshah has come down for lunch at my place.
And in the afternoon Swat, Rams and I started making
rangolis and decorated them with colors. And then we started arranging wicks in
the diyas, putting in the oil and arranging them in plates.
We got ready for the evening pooja and Swat has cooked some
nice prasad under the extreme guidance of momci J
yayyy..it was really toothsome that Chaitu has gobbled major share. ;)
And then we started lighting up all the diyas and placing
them all around the house. Though we want to have an eco-friendly Diwali, we
have burnt some crackers on sheer insistence of momci that we should do it at
least as a tradition.
We clicked some pictures too and here they are…
On the whole it was a good day!! Had a quality time with
cousins and mom J
