happy diwali !!!

well lots of things have happened since my last blog. let me start with the bad & sad part. A very energetic...full of life guy from d 2 nd yr of my college passed away, while he was on a study tour. was very very shocking to all. its been about a week now but i still can't believe it. i still remember him in the rajmachi trek jumping around & helping us when we were lost in there. its a great loss !!!

well Diwali has come & all the preparations are done. shopping for bhav beej is also done. put up the lights yesterday. today is our(south indians) main diwali... so had bath with oil, coconut-haldi ras and "utna". mom did the "ovalni" as it is called and then we had dhood pooha, batata pooha & chana usal. in the evening, i made a rangoli out of the new format jali which i bought at dadar when i went for shopping......but its more fun to make those dots and your own pattern. this year onwards i have decided not to burn any crackers....i have lost interest now. i burnt a lot of crackers before. well thats all for now.
