Diwali Celebrations 2009

Posted on October 17, 2009

Chhavi had a Blast this Diwali, with Nana and Papa (Mom is the photographer)

I think I will let her festival pictures creep in on my blog from festival to festival or when we manage to take her on a trip. Qutb Minar is first on the agenda, maybe in less than a month.

Diwali Celebrations 2009

Here is to all of us for a wonderful Diwali.
PS. This Diya picture is now on a book cover. Do check it out.

    Thank you Rush, I too liked the Diya click a lot. And the pea is asleep at the moment so it feels like that a tornado has stopped temporarily.

    Those expressions on her face say so much. She must have really enjoyed herself.Its amusing to imagine a brat running amok at your place and you guys learning new things rather than the other way around. :oD
