Seasons Greetings!

Ya well… Yawn! It’s finally over… Diwali is flown past once again this year at a super fast pace, even before you know it – it’s gone! Swoooshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I wouldn’t say it wasn’t all that fun, considering the 4 long days, presumably - long weekend that most of us received as part of the revelry. But I had my moments too!!!

Firstly this is my First Diwali - Thala Deepavali in Tamil Terms – gwad! Whats that??? Well every festival in the first year of marriage (as per Tamil Tradition) is termed as Thalai and apparently this has to be celebrated in the girl’s house much contrary to the merriment as per my tradition (Girl has to spend all the festivities at her in-laws place) and I am unaware of the rest. What they do and why is it called that way… hmmm… beats me! What’s really funny was a lot of others (Tamilians of course) made such a big deal about it which really got me thinking and finally asking my husband “what’s such a big deal about this thing???” Well the answer I got was obvious! My husband doesn’t care a damn about the whole thing! As long as he dint have much to do and as long as he behaves in his normal lazy self it’s all fine with him.

So there it ends, Dinner’s and lunches at our respective family gatherings and time spent over the weekend much lazier than words can describe – Yawn!!!!! I am still basking in the glory of it :)
