Diwali with kiru in her house

Anu as usual, after office went to pick up kiru from school.We wanted to surprise her. Me and Ravi had put some lights for the Halloween . We kept and retained the same and put some more lights in the aft. We kept the lights in the evening-- not to be undone Ram put some chalked borders like in India. Anu and Kiru were rather surprised to do see the lights . Kiru cried out happy Halloween. It took us more than fifteen minutes to make her switch over from Halloween to Diwali. She kept saying happy Diwali all the night. It was great fun. Ravi and Anu brought more candles stuff and put them all over the front porch and front door. The lights glistened. We all took bath and took the Divas to Baba for blessing. We took lot of pics. They have come out well. Anu changed over to an orange salwar /kameez. Kiru wore a blue dress and put on all lot of gold jwellery. One shot of Anu was outstanding when she was coming out of the Baba room with all the divas kept in a plate. She was glowing. Ram and myself got reminded of what Pinni had told me down in Tanuku during Chandi's marraige. She (PINNI) nudged me to to tell that she looked so glowing and beautiful as she carried the divas in her marriage white Saree dress, she also told me that she had attended so many marriages of her daughters and others but she pointed out that Anu looked the most beautiful whicn I missed .Pinni had tears in her face. I pointed to Chandi as she looked so dashing. But pinni said no you should have seen anu in her robe. that was by the way.
Anu, Ravi and Ram arranged the formal dining table with lot of sweets. She decorated the table with floating divas . Ram had brought new divas where by the long wine cups are filled with water and oil WITH a waxed wick that glowed so beautifully. We all had sweets . We had a good time. We finished the pataks and sparklers as well. We went out in the garage to light the stuff . the sparklers were the only stuff we could light that day- it being USA. The photographs also came out well -esp the sparklers coming out like whirl pools and flashy straight lines.
We had wine and good food and lastly saw 'jab we met'. It was a great day and Diwali night. We enjoyed all the more because this was the first time we all - ravi, anu, kiru ,rama and achut were together . We took so many pics and sent them to all the relatives. Kiru really understood the Diwali festival. She still says happy Divali. She in her blue dress was fab and divine like luxmi Devi. I have put Aanu 's and Kiru's photographs on the web. one must see them to believe. I feel that Baba is kind enough to make me live these days to remind me what I have been missing during my accident days. Ram was just glowing in her coffee colored Saree. she was enchanting - less said the better.
Finally we had a good time and thanked Baba all the way.
