Diwali 01 Nov 2005

Alisha and Deepa set out to hand-paint the diyas, which we'd acquired the previous ( stormy and rainy ) night .
They did a very fine job as you can see in the next picture, as a matter of fact, this makes it into the Top 12 pics which I would be using in the ( now world famous and much anticipated ) Annual calendar released from Greenman Studios. Some say it rivals the Kingfisher calendar. . .

A small pagan ritual later and we were firing up the Big-Dada-Booms which Armaan wasnt very happy about, but was putting up a brave front.
After which the fumes got a bit much for us, and so we went off to the lakeside to watch the night skyline. It was lovely.


The next morning we went to Bibinagar to shoo off any would-be squatters.
Oh yes, did I mention that we've bought a new car ? ( two months )
A Wagon-R from Maruti-Suzuki. It has many well thought out features, and is big on space and utility. The Japs are good at their automobile design.
We love it !
