Last Diwali I was working for a UK bank that required me to be onsite in Chennai and hence I was away from mom and the same this year. Funny thing is, I was working all through the Diwali week last year and the same thing this year too. Hope I'm not making a habit out of it.
| Well this year I'm so not in the mood for buying sweets or cooking something special or new clothes. But I did buy some clothes over the weekend. The thought that it was Diwali this week wasn't even remotely in my mind. Might just be because I'm preoccupied with this hottie's thoughts :D What I hated about the shopping experience was I couldn't figure the sizes thing. Everything back in India was inches and this one 8, 10, 12... It wasn't so bad I could gauge what I wanted but what that meant is I had to actually try a lot of things before I could buy them. That was really frustrating and very very tiring. The only shop that I found clothes that suited my taste was the one in Rundle Mall speacilaizing in granny-clothing! Probably because none of the girls my age carrry spare tyres on them.. hehehe |  |
 | I still remember when I was a child, where I lived, the first loudest firecracker someone burst for that year was the.. well the first one.. Guess its another one of those traditions boys set for the kicks they get out of winning some sort of competition. Anyhow, my brother and I used to wake up as early as we'd never seen in the clock face whole year (always been a noctornal creature, early rising is just not me at all), go through all mommy's instructions and then run off, climb the roof and light the loud firecracker. Lighting my first one always gave me the rush. Hands shaking and all.. especially with bro clapping his hands or shouting something behind me to startle me... |
Anyhow.. Enough of my ranting. I'll probably make something mildly sweet and horribly oily tonight. If I do, I'll post photos. That's what Diwali is about, isn't it? Heaps of cholestrol and fat loaded, super-sweet, oily stuff and fire-crackers.
