Diwali Memoirs

Diwali as everyone knows is a time for grand celebrations in India and whether you are young or old you always get swayed by the euphoria of this festival of light!

As a kid it was always something to look forward to-having bowl with the friends, fun with crackers and ofcourse lots of mithais and sweets...Still remember how my brother and I used to land up on Bhagal area of Surat from where we used to get hold of lots and lots of fire crackers and that too at a very low rates-and we bros preferred sound rather than light-so our arsenal consisted more of bombs rather than fuljharis and rockets!! :)

We maintained the perfect tradition of firing our bombs as early as 4:00 AM in the morning and wake everyone up plus all the delicacies prepared by mom were a treat as always. Going to the temple on the New year day and meeting friends and all to great them on the occassion is now something to look back and cherish when you are away from home..

Afterall home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule.

And hey this pic is of my bro-celebrating diwali with some fireworks-not sure if he still celebrats it the same way :) he he juss kiddin

Looking forward to it as always here's wishing everyone lots of happiness in the times to come!
Hope everyone has a sparkling time this season!! :)
