Reminiscing about Diwali

Enjoyed reading it Mindi! Have a very safe and enjoyable Deepavali.

I wish I could be one among your neighbours too !

I am a darpok too and pretty much fall under Sri's category of things that I might volunteer to play with.

I am giving Chitra mami's recipies a go this time !
Ellarukkum sapidamudinjal porum, I will be thripti... thankfully one of our
friends is a Dentist. Deepavali time patthu nalla business I can give her
with my sweets .

Dear Mindi,

That was a wonderful account of the pre & post marriage diwali. Kannai katti vittadhu..I was also taken on a nostaligic trip but as we both come from the same community nothing much changes. I am also relying on our Cookery Queen only this time.

Btw: Thalai might mean like after the first year festivals...thalai of DIL can be uruttified.

dear kamalji,

thank you and very sweet of you to comment though i had written so many words in tamil...just one of those nostalgic days, u know and such posts are not fun if edited

Anyways i wish you all the best in your cards session..hope lakshmi (and all her friends pay you a visit and make you happy.

dear jay,

yes i agree with you ..too much of scrubbing and cleaning and i have had enough of that now..now only sweets

Dea r Mindi,

You know what, laxmi is very fond of me, but not at cards time, but otherwise.Thanks for the good wishes and u to have a great diwali.

Regards

dear srini,

yes this time since it is falling on a saturday.....we are all missing the holiday otherwise here all festivals (ramzan,diwali and chinese new year)are given the same importance(one thing i liked about this place).

okay i accept your explanation..it sounds logical

dear lalli,


glad i took you on a nostalgic trip

haha,i am sure everyone in IL relies on our cookery queen only

and I loved your interpretation of 'thalai" :

dear k2s,

hey It would be GREAT to have you as my neighbour...what fun to try out chithvishs recipes together,no?

i have finished my sweets and oh so glad that they have turned out well..

loved your loyalty to your dentist friend

Dear Mindi
Nice to see your spirit up during Diwali. it was great reading your post.
I did not do anything this year hope i would have read your post earlier so that I too would have got this spirit from you.
Just 2 of us did some pooja and made only 1 sweet that too chitvish's dhud pedha.

dear Aruna,

great to see you here and hope you had a COSY diwali with hubby dear..i agree, the main enthu is kids being at home..since nahush is away you might as well take it easy..
