In the beginning of this world, God said, "Let there be light...".
Once a year, we get to play God...
As the Indian community gears up to celebrate Deepawali, turning the darkest night of the year to the brightest, my favourite memories of the festival we all love so much...
Never been much into crackers and those bombs...remember being really scared once when one of my friends tried bursting one of them in my presence...since then I have stuck to small fuljharis and anaars...
My mom synchronizing the lighting of diyas, as if organizing an orchestra...and we kids eagerly awaiting the green signal to light those diyas placed at every concievable nook and corner of the house...I believe, and still do, that my home never looked more stunning and picturesque...
The sweets!Though I do not have a sweet tooth,I love making them...or rather, help my mom make them...
New clothes...hmmm...and someone's looking good!...Never mind...girls gotta dress up once in a while!
Diwali cleaning...hmmm...lots of work...really really hard work!
Lakshmi Pooja...I'd been told once that we had to specially clean our houses and light up all the corners so that Goddess Lakshmi could find her way in!
And of course, Illu and Rangoli in Kgp...
Well...its a lot of hard work...and a lot of dirty work too...I mean just go take a look at someone who's just finished working on a chatai or done a few hours of rangoli, and you'll know!...But at the end of the day, relax and enjoy...and take in and appreciate all the work and bucks that go into making Illu such a big event in the Kgp calendar!
Happy Diwali to all of you!

hello..
u use sweetly different nicks...
aster, crimson, and now dewdrops..
hmm.. and btw.. im completely pissed off with my roomie.. and pls.. i seriously dont agree tht guys enjoy sharing rooms !!!!!!!!!
so even u've got the "disease" now...
and whats so special abt "a kgp diwali"?
wouldn't you rather enjoy it with "all" your friends rather than have an inter hall competition on the day?
personally i would prefer to dance to some good music and have a round of good booze in a dimly lit discotheque swarming with pyts who are all "single" or better still "jhaap" someones mp3 player and enjoy music of "my" choice...
happy diwali...
@aditya
thanx...next time i will use the nick sweetie :P
@the voice
hmm...
dude, the 'disease' is contagious...
and what's so bad about trying to enjoy sumthing that u can't help anyway(need i say more!)!!!
and yes when i say 'enjoy', i meant 'enjoy with friends'...
and i am not so sure abt booze but good music is always welcome...
and don't u dare even think about that mp3 player...

@stonehenge maker
Since u r the only one who has diagnozed sumthing...y dont u give me ur name and address asap!!!
PS:u made the Stonehenge?!!
@dewdrops aka star
y do u need my name and address? so that u can send me that mp3 player... don't bother to send it, i'll pick it myself. toh kab aaun pick karne?
there is are many controversial stories about who exactly made the stonehenge. one of those which infact is the true one is that it was made by a menhir delivery man who goes by the name of obelix! and u might want to know the Greek for *star* before u start calling me an ass for tryin to be obelix.
@the voice that made stonehenge
hmm...
we'll see about that!
amazing conversation going between amazingly amazing nicks. haha
