Deepavali (Diwali)2008

Happy Deepavali to all.

I think many would think Diwali is the right word, but Deepavali is the right word in south India.

Received lots of wishes through sms & was suprised to see,most of the sms was using Diwali rather than deepavali.

Well ,,,,,, no issues still wishes are wishes & no complaints.
But some where in the heart felt that word 'Deepavali' is fading away.

My usual childhood friends where missing around this time.
Luckily ,,,,,,,atleast one was available to burst cracker.

Went to deviprasad's home(our 13 years adda) to meet him.
And where discussing about bursting crackers.
He said, he has not purchased crackers this year.
But surprisinlgy came up with crackers which was purchased couple of years ago.

We started with "Bijili" pataaki.It was fun to burst after long time.

Later friend's brother joined us & with his friends.
In the process we just came up with a plan.

We just saw couple of girls where passing by.
We decided that we shld just looking in to the ground as if there where crackers,
& really it worked out.Those girls stood there & waited for sometime.
After a while they just looked at us & we said you can go there are no crackers.
They give a mischievous smile & went away.

We just placed a dummy Laksmi paataaki on ground.The same play continued for sometime & couple of ladies where just passing by ,
we played the same trick & it worked out.
As they are from same locality we confessed to them that there are no crackers,
they smiled & went away.

These ladies returned again & this time we shouted saying there are crackers,
Again they stood & where looking out for crackers, again comes our confession.
But one of the lady said , 'Hey u guys did the same thing when we passing by'.
And we said "you are right ,,,,,, we are also waiting for the cracker to burst from last one hour.But is not going off"..............................



Some moment to cheer on this Deepavali.

Hope next deepavali will be special.
Expecting lot of changes in personal & professional life by next deepavali.
