Diwali was fun.. even without Bursting Crackers!

This Diwali was pretty different from all that i have had. :-) Foremost i was not really excited. Is it cuz I'm ( already ) 22?! Or is it because I'm to the full metamorphosed into a employee from a student. I'm just not able to figure out ! My mum ( as usual ) gave me a big bag of like, maybe, 20 packets of sweet boxes... (most of them from Shrimithai :P) I went around to few houses in my apartment, literally delivering it to them and wishing them for Diwali. Something that really didn't interest me. Imagine, being offered coffee and sweets at 20 different places. I had to really force myself doing such a thing. I have always enjoyed doing them, but this year i felt different, perhaps a little group up. (Maybe i shouldn't.. hehe).

So after the distribution, my house was like how everyother home in India would be on a bright Diwali day. Grandparents and relatives poured in. Getting blessings and making some money went on as usual. :P And then, it was foood time ! :-) It is one of the very few days, when the whole family gets the time to eat together.

When the dusky night sky slipped in, it was time for "another forcing myself "to do, but, for my parents :)
"Bursting Crackers". But this was the first time, i enjoyed Diwali even without bursting crackers.
"Twas Fun" :) It was not for "child labour" that i avoided the bursting.. I have skipped a year bursting crackers, when i was a kid and when Child labour was a little too in preponderance. But, i took over the job of a photographer instead :-) I really never realized my passion for photography until this day. :-) Offcourse, i'm just an amateur. and Offcourse i just have a klutzy dum digital camera. :) So i spent the rest of the evening clicking pictures of the fireworks.. and also capturing the happiness on my parents' face , celebrating Diwali. What more could make me happier this day?? :)
