Deepavali 2008

I was extra excited this Deepavali because Steven bought me two pairs of Punjabi suits, very beautiful, I especially love the milk coloured one bought from David’s shop.

 

Deepavali morning came, I was like a little kid excitedly getting dressed into my new clothes.

 

We started the morning at 10am, Steven and I went to get toddy from David. At first, the crazy bunch ordered 20 bottles of 1.5 litres. David, however, being the smart guy that he was cut down 5 bottles, and only sold us 15, saying 20 bottles were really too much. How correct he was! Haha!

 

Our first stop was at Suresh’s home, the guys started their toddy session, finished one bottle of toddy. Faces turned red. Lesson learnt, toddy attracts flies.

 

We went to Siva’s house. Uncle said “This is the first time in history somebody brought toddy to my house”. And to have the toddy exploded so bergaya-ly onto the carpet on Deepavali day… priceless!

Hope uncle is not too mad at us… 

 

We proceeded to Sara’s house. And later that nite, our last stop was to Karthik’s house, at that time we were still left with 8 bottles of toddy. Ha! Very intelligently, Steven asked Guna whether their party of visitors would want some toddy, upon his nod of the head, JW and JP carried the ice box with 8 bottles of leftover toddy to Guna’s house. 

 

When we walked away, light hearted, JP said “At least we didn’t waste any alcohol”(@_@!!!).
