It would be great if some television guy broadcasts the festivals and the way it’s celebrated in the country of origin to immigrant population. I think they would have a great market especially in countries which has a huge immigrant population. Will not the huge desi poulation lap it up if discovery channel comes up with a programme on the history and the myths surrounding deepavali?

By and large this is a very unique deepavali for me. I am wearing a jean which i honestly do not know when i washed last. The shirt is brand new though. Amma sonnadhu konjamavadhu kekanume. This immediately reminds me of my friend’s mom who felt bad for not getting her son who was aleady in US, a new dress to be worn today!

Deepavali brings back memories of early morning oil bath, new dress, crackers, gulab jamuns, friends from far off places calling home, Solomon Paapayya patti mandrams.

But here i woke up to the usual mayaana amaidi. I decide to call a few friends here to wish them HAPPY DIWALI and sure enough, all three of them forward it to voice mesages.
Oh yeah, I am in America and I need to run to catch by shuttle. The only pakshanam i’ve had since all morning is a can of Tropicana Apple Juice.

Unique Deepavali indeed!

HAPPY DEEPAVALI everyone!!
