So now Diwali is round the corner, tomorrow actually, and Im looking forward to it. Like Durga Puja, this will be my first memorable Diwali here, also known as Kali Puja. Its festival of lights and fireworks and all that fun stuff.
Now that the Durga Puja pandels have been brought down, the Kali Puja pandels are almost constructed and Im loving the nightly fireworks. I seem to find myself sitting on the roof for some time and watching every night and I think Roxy feels that we are under attack so she hides most of the time.
Yesterday we went and got out own fireworks so here's to hoping that I don't burn anything down! The city is lit up again and tomorrow night I will go see a family puja. Will post up some pics once I get them. But its actually quite fun and interesting.
Its hard to imagine when people get the time to work with all these festivals but these are so family and community oriented, I am beginning to have a new appreciation for them. Anyway will update about the puja tomorrow.
