My World of Food and Travel

And so, another Diwali comes to an end. It always saddens me when we have to take down our fairy lights and store away our earthen lamps. Festivals do have their way of taking leave; everything looks so glum for a while. And then the next one comes along! Thankfully, in a country like India, we are never short of festivals. Diwali has always been my favourite festival, unlike, say Holi. I am scared of people clamouring over each other to put colours. But Diwali is different. Although I am not much into bursting crackers, I like the way all the houses are cheerfully lit up. As children, both sis and I would be silently competing with our neighbours in decorating our house in a more innovative manner. And now, since both of us are married and staying in the same city, Bangalore, we compete with each other in decking up our rented homes! She has always been my confidante and when I decided to create this blog, she was the first to know about it. Perhaps she is the only follo...

 Here's wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous Diwali. May this year turn out to be as bright and glorious as the crackers lighting up the night sky and the diya s illuminating our homes. Eat well and explore more new places this year, all of ya!! Our Diwali dinner - Luchi (Puri), Chicken Masala and Gajar H alwa
