It's Diwali- again!
And I'm not at home - again!
tch tch
I really need to get out of this habit of bunking festivals!

Anyway so this year's Diwali is going to be crappy and the fact that despite all promises of not celebrating it without me, my brother is on the roof right now, bursting firecrackers doesn't help! :(

I simply love this festival like no other. The graceful diyas, the candles, tiny, twinkling, innocent, helpless looking dwarf lights, the rockets whistling away merrily to the top, only to burst majestically into brilliant showers (multi coloured if you are rich :P)!..The not to be outdone anars- even the ones that cough and splutter and eventually smoke out. The unpretentious phool-jharis, secure in their indispensability and then the innumerable variations of these including the indigenous innovations of some of my braver cousins :P! The sulphur and phosphorus di oxides riding the air. Tiny lights twinkling everywhere, specially the Made in China ones! And the whole place so easily transforming into stretches and stretches of Fairyland!
(This is turning into a one page essay on Diwali I used to write in fourth grade :D !)

It's just so beautiful. A sight not to be missed, to be seen atleast once in life! A site to be remembered and longed for ! :) :)

And I shall not even begin writing about being with family, cousins coming over and the delectable food mom makes :D

Have a brilliant and sparkling Diwali! :)
