Yet Another Diwali

It’s sad and still hard to complain about my fifth Diwali away from home. Got to work today and all I could think about were the good old times with my family and my superbly annoying cousins. No thought was given to getting a new attire (a good old tradition, more like a reason to buy clothes), keeping in mind that the more dreadful task was to actually find clothes to wear in my very simple unorganized closet. So after taking a bypass from that long gone tradition I decided to put on some semi new clothes and my all times favorite denim jacket and show up at work like it was just another day (but isn’t it?).

So here I am in front of my computer at work typing away at my lunch break and all this while thinking about fireworks, the sight of it and the sound of it. The times when I would get up to my terrace just glace the skies and no July 4th mega show event nor the scheduled 9 "o" clock fireworks at disney can ever replace that sight.

And now getting to main business, FOOD!!! Boy oh boy did my family work hard in the kitchen just to put up plenty of food that was more than delicious. Yes!!! One would have been guaranteed a heart burn after the meal, but it was definitely worth it. Gulob jamum, Perugu vadda, badam kheer, you name .. they made it.

So for all you people out there with your families on this day, rejoice it!!! And without a doubt I am jealous.

Happy Diwali!!!
