Ashu, I am with you on Diwali thoughts!!!  That's why we are going to India this diwali...yayyyyy....can't wait to celebrate diwali in India after 10 looooonnngggg years😃

i think diwali in india/ delhi is also more artificial than it used to be. gone are the days when one could fire a diwali rocket off at a bunch of gals😉, or color their faces with hard paint on holi (not that i did any of that stuff after i turned 12😆). anyways, now these are "sophisticated" occasions😛

CB...I am talking about my small home town Diwali...that remains pretty much the same...I hated the show off in the Delhi Diwali too...but despite everything...the spirit of Diwali was still there...mitti ke diye, marigold flowers...those things are so special!

😆😆😆 how would that affect me yaar😕  I am not planning to fire rockets off a bunch of gals anyway😆😆

it's just doing laxmi pooja with the whole family, mithaee, mom key haath ka khana...and bestest is bhai dooj😊  haven't tied rakhi or did tika to my bros from last 10 years CB.....it would be worth for me....'coz my expectations out of diwali in India are sooooo different that yours😆😆😆

😆😆😆 i agree rahul, now this celebrations are also artificial😆.....

well i agree with raj and Lilprincess.... if u have a family support then u may not find the life that artificial (unless ur spouse is giving u headache everyday to go back to india😆).... I m here alone so definitely my life is artificial.... just try to get some colours with cricket and IF..... but if someone is leading an artificial life, there is reason behind it.... life is not always fair 😛.... anyways i would be back to masti bhari college life in around 2 years😉
