Glee with no sparkling fireworks

Yep! thats how you celebrate Diwali in America, without firecrackers. This is the time you miss your family and friends in hometown, the most. So try to distract your mind by making your taste buds happy. Thats it. What could make you more happy, than having a bite of juicy Gulab Jamun, that just melts in your mouth. I can hear you saying 'mm mm'. Now we are talking. So how did you celebrate?
Heard from my friend in UK that firecrackers are allowed there on Diwali. Thats nice. Man, she had a very good time. Me, yeah! i also had fun. We celebrated with our relative living nearby. It was a great idea of theirs to shoot the party poppers (available in party supply stores) and it was really fun. It emits a loud popping noise and shoot rainbows of confetti and streamers. I prepared sweets like Badam Halwa and Gulab Jamun and namkeens like Kara Boondi, also Murukku and Ribbon Murukku.

EOD, my taste buds were happy. Hope the same from you.

Its alright, you have the right to Write


Wait a minute, don't give me that look, i just tried to give my title a rhyme. You know what? Its possible to spill out everything in your mind in writing than talking to someone else. It is a great mind reliever. Say, you have a fight with your husband, and you both haven't had a conversation for a day, just take a piece of paper and write everything that circles your mind. Now, take a deep breath, oooh its all gone. I really don't wish the above situation for you. The point am trying to make here is, the best writing always comes from your heart, no compromise.
Am not telling you to maintain a diary and record your daily lives, instead let your mind open and write an article about the unusual situation you face or things you see or create your own. I know, most of the times people live in imaginary world, which always make them happy. Put those thoughts into words, share with the world and give a life to it. Anything and everything is possible here, just like a road with no dead end. You can develop the writing skills only by writing and writing.
