It is that time of the year when festivals are back. It was dusshera, then karva chauth, diwali, new year, our wedding anniversary, A's birthday, Valentine's day and so on. The best of all being karva chauth. It was my first one. All the knowledge I had about the festival came from watching Hindi movies. So, I had been really looking forward to the day. A's parents are visiting us. They came one day prior to Karva chauth. We went shopping. A bought me a very beautiful sari. The next day, we spent the whole morning in kitchen making different dishes. Mostly A's mom was making and I was helping her. Then I went and got mehendi applied. I slept for a while in the afternoon. Soon it was evening. I spent quite some time dressing up. Even though I didnt eat anything the whole day, hunger seemed to stay away. The we did a puja and took some photographs. Finally at around 8 pm, we went to the terrace and waited for the moon to show up. Finally at 8.45 the moon came. I felt happy, just like the way they show in movies.A had an extra class at his MBA course and he came back only at 9.15. Damn the MBA!! I did the whole filmy routine. I looked at the moon, looked at A. Poured water. Then A gave me water and fed me a piece of sweet. It felt so nice. I leave you with a picture. Happy Diwali to you all. Waiting for the festival of lights to light up our home!!
