DIWALI...PREPS

Diwali..hmm even the word makes us feel so happy. Well, i have always enjoyed diwali all these years. Since childhood, diwali reminds me cleaning up the hse, making cookies, murruku of course..joining hand with my mum.. but after her passing..i had missed all those..very much indeed. Evrytime i look at the sweet (achu) murukku, it would certainly bring back my memory with my mum, where we had so much fun making it..where i almost burnt my leg helping her..and yes, my mum's ever tasty jam tart..of all those i've eaten my mum's was the best.. but i surely can't inherit this talent of hers..the cleaning part would be exciting coz me n my bro would bet on each other of who gets to wash the porch, the kitchen and the backyard..there was nothing special, just we would play extra with the soap n water, for the sake of cleaning.. hehe. There was one diwali, where myself, my bro and my handsome cousin, back then, (vick), were playing the crackers (i guess it was POP POP) where one of the piece accidentally dropped inside his front short pocket, without realising it, he leaned down to take something and yes..it popped and his shirt had a hole.. hahaha.. we were to naive to get angry back then but were just amused all over.. yeah.. am sure everyone's childhood was fun..my most favourite part of diwali would be the eve..where i would be anxious to decorate my hse as i liked..my mum had me doing this, coz she knew somehow i would be busy without disturbing her in the kitchen hehe...well..you would just wanna jot down all those beautiful memories.. so, for this year my celebration would be rather simple as my wedding would be ard the corner. Compared to last year i baked some cookies, but this year i have opted to buy them as i have got to prepare things for the wedding and i certainly have no time to make them..for murruku, am teaming up with my mum in law to make this. we will be all geared up tomorrow.. hehe..shopping for baju, hmm was a bit here n there..got kurta's for my dad,bro,thaya n bro in law and sari for mum in law..for me, nothing much yet..hehe..coz i'll end up with a short n t-shirt since i'll be in the kitchen to do my specialities..hmm wait n see till i post it...so dearies, i guess its not too early to wish everyone a very happy diwali.. keep the spirit going on...
