My Diwali experience…

To simply say, my Diwali was good would be an understatement! I really enjoyed my stay at home this time with all my dear ones and it was an awesome experience.

Celebrations-wise it was not much. It was a very simple affair. We have not been celebrating this festival of lights and fireworks for the past two years for various reasons. This time upon the request of my family, I went to my native place not because I was much interested in the celebrations, but the idea of just being there with the family and the kiddos was very exciting. I visited all my relatives after a year. My mom showed me the places where she spent her childhood. All our cousins had a get together of sorts at our place and it was fun catching up on all the missed gossip :-)

The kids were really afraid to burst crackers initially and the little one in the family, my two year old niece cried a lot hearing the noises. It took some time for her to get used to the idea of crackers. We stuffed cotton in her ears and made her believe that she would not be disturbed anymore and the fun part was that she really believed us! The next day was better because all my nephews and nieces had a great time bursting crackers in our presence leaving their fears behind.

Thanks everyone for making this Diwali memorable.
