Diwali and all that... :)

So Diwali came and went... It is interesting how festivals brighten your mood.. there is a general feeling of happiness that is there all around.. people in office are smiling, outside vendors are at all time high, everyone is shopping.. its like what it might be in the US during christmas...only brighter and colorful! :)
there is rangoli which has so many shades of happiness and love and care and everything rolled into one! there are the colorful diyas that light our homes welcoming the goddess laxmi into our lives... that make our house look beautiful gleaming in the night! there are the lanterns and the lights that adorn the balcony and the windows, shining away in the night... all this spreads so much happiness that it is contagious!

So keeping the happiness alive and spreading joy... I wish u all a very happy Diwali and a Prosperous New Year!! :) :)

The number 1....

There is something that draws the excitement in every human being when it comes to the "number 1". We all get drawn towards it like moths to a flame...
This is my first post here and the excitement in me is beyond my control... have gone through all the features of blogger to see how can i customize my blog, so that i looks.... well mine... :)
I have been contemplating for a long time to write... but always found some excuse or the other to either write and stop or not start at all... guess it was time i took a step.. :) I plan to write things that affect me, move me, hurt me or have any kind of emotions attached to it... I know my thoughts here seem to be disconnected... but right now all that matters is that I have taken a step and wish that I can continue with regular posts!...
