Diwali does not have the same charm like our childhood days

Diwali does not have the same charm like our childhood days. So much changes arethere. During our childhood days we used to wait for Diwali as only during Diwali we used to get new dresses. I still remember the printed satin pavadai with pink melakku which was my favourite during my teenage. Had to get up at 4 a.m., mother or grandmother will keep ennai on our head and then we go for oil bath and then wear the new dress.Take elders blessings. Then lit the patakas. Go to temple and visit relatives house. Idli, sambhar with chutney will be the breakfast with palaharam made for Diwali. Wow still my mouth waters thinking of the palaharam and sweets which my grandmother used to make. She was expert in making kai murukku. My brother used to like sevai made by her. It used to be so difficult to make with sevai nazhi but still she usedt to make and give us yummy food.

This year Diwali was not so interesting as I missed my children and also IL. As always we went to the temple, wore a new sarees given as gift by my dh's nieces for my 70th birthday. Only next day went to my younger daughter's in law's house with palaharam and spent sometime with them.
