Happy Diwali

Diwali brings fond memories and I can always connect it several things, to name a few:

• Shopping and mehandi 
• Story of naraksura the demon who is associated to the very existence of Diwali 
• Oil bath before dwan break - it is believed that MahaLakshmi Godess of wealth resides in seseame oil at that time and hence considerd as auspecious:) 
• Hearty breakfast filled with sinful goodies! 
• Firecrackers and related excitement..
  
• Visits to seek blessings from family elders and get "Diwali kaas" similar to Ampau...
