happy diwali !

a festival which usually brought me on feets almost every time it came was not much of frolic this time.the day itself marks its importance even when it doesnt pass celebrated.a festival of lights,crackers,diyas,candles,fun and masti also brings with it harbinger of hope,wealth and what not(as it is believed).life all of a sudden has become so hectic that i didnt burn a single cracker :( this time around.good part is,i have made a note to celebrate it every next year with the highest level of energy.wishing you all a great time ahead.happy diwali.bye.

missing home :(

it was more of an odyssey,oh yeah it exactly was.ten days were no less than what at times a slow action complete year is,dramatic and full of action,all the days and almost all the nights,including almost everything ranging from travelling in a rickshaw to driving a suv.i miss the days which just passed by.i miss them terribly.the lunch of home and the walks in the evening,pampering my cute little sister almost every minute i was in home,spending jewel of time with dearest father and just about everything.its different here and right now it looks terribly sickening.being a die hard afficianado of my mom's cooking,i just cant digest a single bit here.it tastes so different.i just cannot regurgitate everything but in little,every moment has stayed captured in my eyes.i have hardly felt homesick in more than 12 years of my boarding life but today i miss them all so much.it has been a mere 2 hours or so here and it looks like a lost world.there are moments when love makes you weak and who would not feel alone after coming from a place where everyone,all of them give you a place of hero in their hearts.

in fine fettle

it's been a terrific terrific holiday,almost every minute.today was a day to splurge,i did and perhaps a bit too much but the best part is i had the passport to go zoom.having all girls by my side which included the smartest in the town including my dearest angel sis and walking in the best stores and feeling like a prince and going to the most talked restaurant and driving a luxury car and smiling every instant and hurrying back to home and attending to the arti of 8 p.m and looking absolutely stunning in a sky blue jeans and a prince charming pure white kurta and having a great time all through indeed makes you feel in a very fine fettle and indeed keeps you happy for moments much more than expected. ):)

holidays @ patna this DP.

this is perhaps after six years that i am witnessing this unmatched aura and celebration.durga puja rocks.the ten days of worship and the spirit of devotees is splendid.there are many who fast from the 1st till the 10th and many more who live on just fruits and sweet eatables,this custom is popular as NAVRATRA.followed by dandiya late in the evenings and bustling of crackers through the midnight adds to the already brilliant mise en scene.my own house seems to be basking in the exquisite charm of this time. it is nowhere else that people could ever have so much energy and respect for the tradition being followed hitherto years.we shout in the evening at the time of "arti" as loud as we can - "jai mata di".standing in the crowd of more than a thousand and being a part of such an auspicious occasion would definitely make anyone feel blessed and make believe in that unknown omnipotent-present-scient power called GOD.there is this truth that anyone can try to pretend being profane but actually noone can be.i feel blessed.i am enjoying and feel happy,relieved,satisfied like never before.
