Festivals celebrated away from home is just not right. Esp. such major ones. Strange as it may sound, I am even missing the sudden frights I used to get when someone lit a cracker outside! [I am still against crackers though; you know, the pollution, noise etc etc]
Also missed is the awesome food mom makes. Although, I did try my hand at sweet-making today, and believe me, it is best left to mothers! :-)
But it did not turn out that bad either. Hmm..lesse what others have to say tomorrow about it! Yes, of course, you think I am going to let my friends go away so easily!!! :-)
Happy Deepawali to you all!
Preparing saaru can be very interesting..
esp. if you misread tamarind as turmeric!
I can cook!!!!!!!
and oh..the food I prepare is very much edible...and hmmmmm, kinda tasty too!![Bhuv would vouch for that! :-)] I am slightly amused too!!
