Cleaning cupboards making faral cleaning diyas preparing aakash kandil savouring the smell of home made chakali karanji laddu buying new clothes putting kolam and taking bath with moti soap and utane means diwali for me. Hope every one is blessed n happy in this Diwali. Wish u all a very healthy n prosperous Diwali
I think we are done with the Diwali sweets quota. Jamoon will be remaining and will take over that on festival day .. Too much besan and oil and I was thinking next 3 months I should avoid anything deep fried.
Yay made my most favourite Jamoons for the first time. I was fearing all sorts of things like Jamoon not cooking well especially the core and breaking into pieces after adding into sugar syrup. But to my surprise it turned out just perfect. I couldn’t resist until tomorrow so gobbled few today itself DH was praising for softer Jamoons

A folk dance performance by our group on account of Kannada Ratjotsava in our new apartment was a super hit. That proud moment when the crowd shouts "Once more, once more " was such a wonderful feeling.
Diwali went supurb enjoyed all days. Got a beautiful necklace from brother. Took a 3 day vacation at beach very positive n refreshing break.
The much needed vacation ended with visiting some wonderful places in North India... Covered Punjab, Delhi, some parts of UP and Rajashtan.. Craving for some rice rasam after 10 long days of paneer, aloo, chole, gobi ,rajma, kulche ,Lassi etc etc.
While travelling to nearby village saw a new breakfast stop on the way. They served delicious misal pav. The tea was soo awesome i can visit again just for tea. The spot is our new favorite. Visited a proper village jatra. Enjoyed chicken biryani nonon veg curry made on chullaha. What a delicious meal it was. Saw a very big curry leaves tree. Plucked cucumbers lemons from field. Played with small labrador puppies. Enjoyed a lot.
