Every Diwali me and my husband visit my dad at his place. Dad usually purchases a packet of assorted crackers which we(rather my husband as I am scared to do it) burst it in the evening.
But this Diwali I invited my Dad to come and stay over at our place. And it was such a wonderful diwali. Must say we all 3 were in good moods. Me and Dad spent quite some time cooking in the kitchen,mangalore dishes mainly- to my Husbands dissapointment. It was fun to catch up with Dad after so long. This diwali we truely lived the 'family' life. Spending time at home, cooking, eating together etc.
In the evenings we would go out into the balcony and watch the fireworks display ( in the neighbourhood). It was more fun than bursting crackers ourselves . It was like my dad said, 'outsourced fireworks display for free'. :) We could probably do without the noise crackers , which I really wish the manufacturers stop manufacturing. I agree, we need a little noise during diwali , otherwise it doesn't feel like diwali. But i am definitely not for those long burning crackers with high decibel sounds.
Its sad that Diwali is already over and my Dad had to go back. And ofcourse that we had to end our vacation and go back to the office routines. But this diwali, am going to cherish more than any diwali.
