So here at last got a stretch of four days of festivities at stretch for diwali and other subsequent festivals. An extended weekend to celebrate the festival of lights and to enjoy with your family and relatives. The festivity kicked off (first day) with celebration in office with the interior decorated with flowers and candles. THere was a best traditional dressed contest to add spice to people's creativity to dress like prospective bride and bridegrooms :D which somehow i missed coz the judges missed my seat.
Then came the big day of celebrations, the day to devour sweets and sweets and sweets. It was real fun celebrating diwali travelling in a DTC bus going to a frd's place for 3 hrs journey (one way) which gonna never forget. Though the time passed thanx to the choked networks of all mobile service providers which messages sent being failed and me still continuing to waste money in expectation of finally sending messages to near and dear ones. It was great fun afterwards celebrating with friends eating ( i must say like gourmet after a never ending journey) lots of good food. And then yet again journey bak to my place. The traffic was choked with people travelling to seems like nowhere but still driving and driving till they somehow reach somewhere.
The bursting of crackers nowadays on diwali has reduced in comparison to earlier years mite be coz of two reasons : prices of crackers reaching sky-high and awareness among students about pollution. But the skyline was sparkling with crackers of all hues delineating constellations of all kind.
So after two days of diwali celebrations comes (third day) Govardhan pooja which is a day for vishwakarma pooja as well. The day's speciality being Annakuta which is a special food prepared to celebrate the occasion of govardhan. Fourth day being fav. of gals with their brothers showering them with gifts on the occasion of Bhaiyadooj. And finally time to relax till monday after lotsa fun and relaxation...
