It came, it went.....

Last week, my home, my office, my city, my country was buzzing with Diwali activities. Shopping to do, sweets to make and yea, work to complete in office!!! Its last day of Diwali today, from tomorrow, back to routine life. Though I fortunately have a holiday tomorrow too for Eid. I had a very long weekend of 4 days and I spent it in meeting friends & relatives and lazing around. I was too lazy to even post anything on my blog!!!
The first day of Diwali, I ate soooo many 'Chaklis' that I had a stomach ache the next day..ha ha. I love Chaklis the most among all the items in 'faral'. In most Maharashtrian households, 'faral' is made during Diwali. It consists of both sweet and namkeen items. Chakli, Sev, Chivda are namkeen and Ladu, Karanjee, Sankarpale, Anarse are sweet. I don't like sweets at all, so I have no interest in the second category :-). Though I wasn't in the best of spirits during these days, I tried to stay cheerful and content. I remembered how mom and I used to make Rangoli for hours together at the entrance of our house and it prompted me to hunt for the Rangoli dabba and make a small Rangoli. I am very bad at all these artistic things; I just don't have the patience to do them. I am not talented as some or rather most of the people are, but I admit that I never made any efforts in that direction. Coming back to the Diwali topic, I did lit lots of diyas every evening. I like to see all those flickering flames. I did burst some crackers along with my cousins. I also treated my relatives with a lunch, it was a combined treat for birthday and new job.
Presently, I am in a dilemma, or rather not so much of a dilemma, because I am not thinking much about it. I have got a job offer from a company which wants me to fly to UK next month. They want me to join them next week and then go to UK for 6-8 months. There are many factors against me leaving the present company and joining the new one and maybe even I am not much inclined to go away from my dad and loved ones. I always thought that running away from here would be the best thing, but maybe its not! I have to still take a final decision, which has to be done in couple of days.
I better hit the bed, I have to go for a wedding tomorrow. I would be meeting my ex-colleagues tomorrow, so I am happy about that.
Hope you guys had good time during Diwali!!! Have a nice week ahead....
On yea, I got the best compliment of my life. Yesterday my best buddy smsed me at night, ‘Thanks a lotta. Thanks for feeling what I feel and understanding. U r a good person. Tc. Good night’ :-)
