Diwali is my second favorite festival... (first being Holi..the festival of colors). It was always fun because you got new clothes, you made a list of all the firecrackers you want atleat a month in advance, save them up for the day of Diwali no matter how tempted you might be to burn the firecracker as soon as you get them, the food, family and friends. There is so much about this festival, but ultimately it is your family and friends who are around you that make this day so much more special. Been so excited about cleaning up my house, cooking and decorating my home with lights..but unfortunately had to go to work and had a super stressful day at work. Just got back home...but I was not ready to let this dampen my Diwali spirit. Lit up the diyas and decorated my house with flowers and voila!! I am a happy person having my own little Diwali with my sweetheart.
