Delightful Diwali

Diwali turned out to be a really delightful festival for us. We decided to invite all our close family to come celebrate with us and much to our pleasant surprise every single one of them turned up. We had quite a few guest for few days and it was real family bonding amid the exploding fireworks. Because this was the first Diwali for kids here with an opportunity to blast fire works, I went overboard with the purchase of the fire works. Inspite of the fact that I had quite a few kids in our house they still could not finish all the fire works that I had bought for them. We still have a bag left.

Anirudh and Anisha truely enjoyed blasting fire works, especially the rockets and flower pots. The coolest one for them was a simple pistol with a roll cap to play cops and robbers with neighborhood kids. We have about 7-8 kids in our neighborhood all of about 7 - 10 yrs of age and they had lot of fun blasting fire works together. Luckily for us there were no accidents and everything turned out to be really enjoyable.

Looking forward eagerly to Holi now.
