For the last so many days we were waiting for Diwali. So many preparations were going on . Every body was busy. Junk was removed from the house. Each corner of the house gave a new look. Frantic preparations were going on. New dresses was bought for every one. Daily some friends or relatives came. We have a tradition that on a Sunday preceding Diwali, all brothers and sisters assemble in one house and exchange Diwali gifts. We have pot luck dinner.....One dish from every house. This way, there is lot of food, sweets, snacks and drinks. We have many games, like Tambola,Dumb Shiraj and many more. Every body looks forward to this family get together.

The lights in the balcony added to the ambience of the place. It looked colorful, yet sober.A special Puja to worship Mata Lakshmi and Ganesha was held.
The Ganesha corner of our house.
The festival came and has gone. The children have great fun. They play cards, have lots of chocolates, cakes and goodies. They have already started waiting for next Diwali.
