Happy Diwali to all of you who celebrate this wonderful and bright festival of lights.

I am celebrating this festival in the land of vikings (Sweden!) and it is first time that I took it on myself to celebrate the festival.

All these years, my only resposibility(can I say that!!) was to get as much as crackers from the market and soak them in the sun to make them more loud!!

My Mom and Sis used to prepare everythin for the puja and we waited for my Dad to come home and perform the Laxmi Puja. 

I just waited to complete the entire process and then junt pounce on the firecrackers and blast my through... :) good old days...

This time though I dod not have any opportunity to burn crackers. Since, there is no Indian Community here on Göteborg, we could not go to any community place where they celebrate the festival.

But I did celebrate this one in a more different way. Using my recently acquired cooking prowess, I prepared Dahi wada and invited my colleagues over to my place.

It was a wonderful evening. I will post the pics as soon as I upload them.
