Diwali week....
Dhwani, our daughter in law from USA, still carries the hangover of USA. So during this Diwali week celebrations, we celebrated for the first time a western tradition of "Howleen". In this celebration idea is to dress up in most scary way. Do make up, paint your face with red blood color, mess up hair, look like zombie.
So this Diwali celebration started with this item. Mid-night activities were captured by camera, just one glimpse.
The very first birthday in November comes of Daddy on 4th, followed by Neha's. Monday was creative day. Kash - Dhwani returned from Mumbai and straight plunged into 'Kandeel and Diya competition'.
Rest of the week passed in a flash. This year Deepak and Deepika have also joined us after gap of few years.
Under the management of Dhwani we had foto hunt games repeat after few years. This is second edition of this game. You have to click 40 pictures in certain conditions. For that we have to request strangers for selfie or search for locations like Well - Police station - Tabela - Specific shop etc. Very few pics, out of few hundred clicked by four teams.
Chat - Show.
Deepa thought she can beat Karan Johar in chat show. So we were celebrities whom she interviewed. Except for few gems from Muskan, this turned into a so so shot. Our annual skit program is still subject to editing.
Dhwani and Tarula (kash mil) were not so excited in celebration of 'saal mubarak'. A guju custom where on next day of Diwali, they dress up very early in morning and visit relatives. Wishing them happy new year. Lali and Myself being Ghatkopar born, carry the hangover of this Gujrati custom. I greeted them in morning so did Lali on afternoon.
Happy anniversary and Diwali Aarti.
A routine affair.
Yes, this year we missed on our family pic. Actually i have yet to print last few pics clicked. So let's finish those and than restart new lot.
I missed Dad simply because his birthday was in Diwali week, 4th Nov. And Ratna Aunty also, because like mum, she also always was a good participant in every activity. She would never say, this is boring, dull or not possible. Always ready to support. And such attitude makes our celebration lively and fun.
As usual we filled two cars and went for Pre-Diwali Mahalaxmi temple visit to offer Sarees to deities. This tradition has being started by Muskan and we have religiously followed for last 10 years. Mummy nearly got involved in accident. As she was getting from Ola, idiot driver started to move on. Luckily I was holding mummy so she did not fall. Muskan screemed and in reaction driver applied instant breaks. But this effected mummy blood pressure. However, some tablets and good night brought it under control.
In our family Kashyap and Dhwani like to drink, but till this day they kept in under loose wrap. This year new trend was started but kids(?). Drinking. The drinkers population has grown in our family. Kash - Dhwani - Moni - Pinky - Shyam uncle - Manju - Umesh. You have to pursue Sharat and Akshay. Otherwise they avoid or do not like to drink. So evening turned into late night drinking session.
Friday was set aside for 'brunch' party at souleat at NIBM. Most of the family members were present and had great time. All in picture.
