Woahh..I haven't blogged in AGES!!
Reason? The usual..I have been very VERY busy..in a good way though..not the too-many-assignments-and-tests-and-homework-and-school stuff !! In the my-brother-is-back-and-so-is-my-cousin-sis-and-maasi-and-her-sweetest-lil-daughter-and-Diwali-and-cousin-sis's-bday way!! Confused?? =)
I had a rocking week!!!!!!!!!! So yesterday was Diwali..my favorite festival..all the light, sound, crackers (yeah, I wouldn't mind if they stopped bursting crackers but I am not totally SAY NO TO CRACKERS either..in fact, they undeniably add to the festivities) diyas, candles, rangolis..its all just SO beautiful!!
Bhaiyya's back!!!!! And so in Rangoli di!!!!! =) =) So me and bhaiyya made a beautiful rangoli (okay fine, I watched, he made..jeez u guys!) though mum didn't like it..bhaiyya went for mordern art and stuff..mum prefers the desi traditional stuff..so in the end it was a mixture of both, and surprisingly, it looked eccentric in a beautiful sort of way!! Yayy!! Then me, mum and bhaiyya decorated the whole house with candles!! Mum has this collection of pretty vessels and bowls kind of stuff..she fills them with water, then she suspends floating candles and rose petals..which looks beautiful (I am using this word a lot right??)..and then we went to my Nani's house, celebrated Rangoli di's b'day..came back with all the kinfolk to our house..had an AMAZING session of photography..then finally when we were eating dinner, bhaiyya's friends arrived..another photo session, and THEN the REAL CELEBRATION!!!!!!!!
Diwali in my appartment is always full-fledgedly celebrated!! So we have our whole group of like 10-12 friends..out of which me and Mauli never burst crackers..although I do buy 'em..out of, I dunno, I just feel like it..but next time, I won't! Mauli out of wish, but me, its an altogether different story! When I was a kid, I held the ignited part of a fuljhadi very tightly, and ever since I was turned off crackers!!
And then, after loitering here and there, screaming along with the crackers, and doing all sort of stupid stuff, I came back home and completed this book I am reading, 'The Amulet of Samarkand' which is WOW!! I loooved the book..can't wait to get my hands on the second and third parts!!! :)
Plus, the best (and worst) part?? I still haven't done any Diwali shopping! It's good because I have a shopping spree to look forward to!!
Oh, and Kumkum maasi went back to Jaipur today!! :( And inevitably, Rujul too..Rujul's her daughter, and the darling doll of ALL of us!! She really is the cutest lil thing ever!
Plus, I am reading this book called 'Does my head look big in this'..re-reading actually..But, the last time I read it I was like 11, so I dont really remember it properly! It's a good read..a book about a Muslim-palestenian teenager who's been brought up in Australia..she suddenly feels like wearing a hijab full-time..the book deals with her post-hijab experiences..a NAICE book! =D
I still have to complete Every Breath You Take and The Duke and I, I abandoned them halfway cause I was unable to find a hard copy..and reading on the computer gets downright boring after a while..
All in all, I am optimistic and happy in general, which isn't rare, but for the first time in the past few weeks!!
Plus, I dedicate this to Yashwi (who is never gonna read this, I know :/) because she's bedridden...during DIWALI! Which is just sad!
So gotta go now..I have to pester mum to make plans for Golmaal 3/ Action Replayy !!
Which reminds me, can't wait for Deathly Hallows 1 anymore!!!!!! I already have plans with friends (and classmates) it's gonna be soo much fun!! =D
Ciaoo!!!!!!!
