Diwali

 As always, Diwali this year came with celebrating by lighting diyas at home, and some lighting experiments by the family. An example is below. Above, my kurta day.


The flower arrangements also added to the festive cheer, as did the snacks that we call "faraal" in Marathi. Mr. Chitale, the famous vendor of some of these ran out of stock on Diwali day. Good for weight-control!

Rounded the week up by meeting two ex-students, Khyati Jha and Sirisha Adi. It was great chatting about the world at large, and some happenings in our lives.
