Deepavali
It had been a quiet Deepavali for us as my sis was away on business trip.However we wanted to make it exciting one as well, for the first time we made all the delicacies on our own without buying from supermarket. At the same time to say Thanks giving for our house as next year we will be celebrating in our new house.
As usual morning we had prayers and served curries and apoms to our neighbours, not forgetting cookies-monsters 
. The programme on TV didn’t meet my expectation, most of it are repeated ones. We had some guest coming to our house, was busy entertaining them. Later part in the evening, I was busy with my office work 
, had a chunk and load of work to be completed in my 10 days off.
The next day which was Friday was Kedara Gowri Vratha, first time we’re celebrating it, it is very auspicious day, most of the Tamilians in India will fast and serves Goddess Lakshmi with 21 types of sweets or coins or delicacies. It seems buying gold on this day are also encouraged as it is a believe it will accumulate wealth throughout the years. We did Rangoli Kolams, Lighted Oil Lamp and also decorative lamps in the house. Since it falls on Friday all of us was strictly Vegans.
Sunday we had a mini open house for Deepavali, we invited our close family members & friends to join the feast. We had Dhall, Briyani rice, Chettinad mutton , Mix Vege, Cucumber Raita, Egg & Prawn Sambal and fried Chicken & pappads. The dishes was prepared by both myself and my mom. We woke up very early to cook… It was a tiring day as we have guest to entertain, dish washing and cleaning.
