Diwali

This year it was a special one .. We celebrated Diwali at our very own first home.We did our Diwali Shopping on Dhanteras Day and bought firecrackers,diyas,laddoos,assorted burfis.etc. It was really nice seeing all the chehal pehal in Wembley and just made me nostlagic of Diwali celebrations back home.I think one of the best points of living and working in London is that you do not miss these things and can enjoy festivals with as much gusto as you want.

A bought me a very gorgeous 18K White Gold ring on Dhanteras. Thanks A.Jewellery stores were busy like hell and the way people were flocking the jewellery stores and we had to skip atleast 3 stores before we could step in a store where we can stand on two feet.I think this must be the world's quickest jwellery buy ever. It took us less than 10 mts to buy this.


We performed Lakshmi puja on D-day with reciting of Ganesh Aarti and Lakshmi Aarti and lit 21 diyas as per the tradition.I wish many more Diwali's like this every year for both of us.
