If my laptop had a mouth , it would scream. I'm typing this with half dried marudaani (on the other hand
now).
Okay so, today we had this, literally traslated, water filling festival :D
Its celebrated, to symbolically worship all the holy rivers, especially the Ganges.
Mom started off by making me smear a big steel pot with sunnambu (someone tell me what it is in english!) and then filling it with water and muttering a sloka at top speed.
Well then we lighted this awesome terracota lamp, with a Ganesha on it.
Then ofcourse, there is a tradition of making of hot bajjis and pakodas and my ever favorite kesari :D Thats diwali day one at my place :) Hope u guys are having a great time too...
PS: Thanks to Editor in Chief, Changing Crow... for the follow :)
