Friday: Choti Diwali, actually let me start with Thursday evening. I was dropped off in Khan Market by an office colleague. I had put in some effort to dress up (read: wear salwar kameez with some bling). I had dinner in Side Wok in Khan market (I love their chicken suimai and phad thai noodles yum!!) Went to meet Ashish in his office in South ex. He decided to take me home since his wifey dear was fuming a bit. They had a get to gether in their colony (Yes there are colonies also in the Delhi... surprise surprise!) After that at 11.30 pm we went to Saket were all the potters (not the famous family, but the profession :)) have their shops, since diwali was literally round the corner there was a lot of crowd there. I simply love that stuff!!! was gifted lovely chimes made of clay :))) Then stayed over at Ashish's after helping them put up the lights etc etc etc. Got up early friday morning, went home, got ready (read wore a saree!) and reached office. Was in no mood of working in office and in any case there was a rangoli competition in office so just did stuff for that (read moral support and some support in spoiling the good work).
Was dropped off to Chacha's place by another office colleague. Had good home cooked food. Read 2 states, went off to sleep.
Saturday: Diwali day. Cleaned chachi's fridge, went crazy about the amount of vegetables in that house (I think its a ploy to keep the woman in the kitchen!!). Helped out in cleaning the house and cooking. did general faffing around in the house. Got ready in the evening for diwali (read wore new clothes, some more bling!) participated in the pooja headed by my grandfather (will write separately about this too. There is no mention of the woman in the artis except for when referring to a childless woman who should be blessed with a son... uff) Oh also watched Dasvidanya in the day ...lovely movie! Then my cousins went off to burst crackers while i watched from the balcony... that was fun though. Finished 2 states adn went off to sleep.
Sunday: Got up lasily, had breakfast... chachi had woken up earlllllyyy and made loads of kadi for the entire colony (too much!!) Cousins and moi went off for a movie (BLUE.... disgusting !!) Bought a gift for my cousin brother and for my granpa. Went off for a get to gether of my law fac friends. That was fun.. a lot of catching up... too many chutka children running helter skelter...w ent to the deer park for dinner, laughed my guts out... had fun. reached home at 1 am
Monday: Bhai Duj: RB came in the morning, got him in sync with my next plans for life.. thank god that happened. Slept off for a bit, did gocery shopping. WEnt off to my mausi's house for bhaiya duj. This was fun. I was at some crazy level and broke into a song at any given opportunity (read as all the bloody time). Caught up with a friend on the phone for almost 2 hours. Went off home slept late got up early cooked cleaned, got ready reached office... damn this week.
