Diwali.....

It was Dusshera a few weeks back and even before getting rid of all the excess  fat i gained by having a frequent supply of  sweets and other eatables , Diwali came along.This festival provided another reason to continue with my not so healthy diet.(I for one wouldn't mind).Compared to last year's diwali this year was a more subdued affair.The reasons were quite obvious.......  recession, spiraling costs..One had to think twice before even buying any crackers this time as it would cut deep in to one's pocket.I had the opportunity to spend quality time with my family ,my sister was home for the weekend to join in the occasion.But this year celebrating diwali was more mechanical,i had no interest whatsoever  to treat my self with burning crackers......only constant nudging and cajoling by my mother forced me to do so.I was perhaps a bit uncertain about my future this time and too preoccupied to have any thoughts of entertainment.I hope that next year would be a more  cheerful one.
