WOWieeee... its diwali taday.. the time says i am 2040 hrs and there is a lot of noise outside...(well this time is saying.. no me.) i some times wonder what time must be thinking that he is the one who keeps a track of everything that everyone does and yet can't do anything for himself for if at anytime he gets distracted OH LORD !!!! oooof... can;'t even imagine what will happen..well lets leave time alone and let him do his job..
yeah so iwas at diwali...
i am at the club... actually came to get some biryani for the "going to be hungry folks", have guests over from pune so hospitality is at its best.Not that it is never upto the mark... we esp i think hospitality should be extended at all given times.
hmmm... i can hear a lot of crackers bursting and lights lighting up the sky, can listen to people shouting and screaming.. laughing and feeling very GAY about the whole festival (well the gay is not the gay as in "GAY" but the gay as in HAPPINESS") while i sit in an air conditioned room with two more people sitting and accompanying me. GOD KNOW's WHAT BRINGS THEM HERE...
A few minutes ago i was at home paying homage to GODDESS LAKSHMI and LORD GANESHA. Both who try to fill your back pockets full of green colored paper pieces called MONEY.
At home it was an auspicious moment with my grand ma downwards to the guests dressed in their BRAND NEW ATTIRES... the PUJA (PUJA now not as in the so many PUJAs i know but the PUJA as in PRAYERS) went of fine with decorations and offering of flowers and fire (AARTI.... now wait.. its not AARTI as in the BEAUTIFUL GAL NEXT DOOR...but AARTI as in the MARK of respect to GOD ) that is a typical HINDU tradition.
After the aarti and taking blessings from the two aforementioned lords of their own kinds started the beautiful tradition of TOUCHING THE FEET OF EVERY ELDER around !! so i went..
DOWN-1 = papa
DOWN 2= MAMA
DOWN 3= GRANDMA
DOWN4=AUNTY
DOWN5=UNCLE
DOWN6 NEELU AUNTY (THE GUEST)
DOWN7=ARVIND UNCLE( THE GUEST)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFF THAT WAS QUITE SOME TIMES... and i do not mind it i always think that their blessings are certainly more powerful than that of the goddesses and gods.

so now that my turn of bending down was over... i suddenly see two SIX FOOTERS ...
cookie and his hefty friend vaibhav...bending down to touch my feet..
Now here it feels a little awkward... he hehe a blush on my face.. where inside i am all happy and joyfull about the whole idea of my brother trying to get blessings from me.
To be frank i was overwhelmed...
Then came the TEEKA round.. where the women of the house put teekas (another of the purely hindu traditions)
so in no timne i had a teeka on my fore head...
giving me a look like one of those RAJPUTANAs of BALMER in Rajasthan..
I felt like some KUNWAR VIKRANT PATNAIK (the prince of some princely province).
that apart..
Then dad and the super elders of the family get their backsides moving towards the BAR ( BHAI AAKHIR DIWALI HAI ..) and the ladies settle around.withthe music started...
well i somehow did not want to stay there.. .
i was missing my friends and probabaly some thing else too..
so i asked partents what about dinner.. ( MY WAY OF keepingmyself busy... EAT EAT EAT )
well leave that..
now i am in the club and i htink my order must be ready ..
i shall go pick it up and head back home and will let you what happened.. after that..
