Happy Diwali!!!

I remember my brother saying “I can smell Diwali” a few weeks before Diwali.

And I always wondered how?!!!!

Now I know he meant that he could smell the onset of winter….. there really is this feeling in the air every morning and evening….. you just know….. you know Diwali is coming!!!!!

As kids of course Diwali is all about the new clothes the endless boxes of mithais and the bags full of fire crackers…..

But now Diwali is so so different for me! The morning breakfast is the most important for me…. Being with family is super important….. then the lights and diyas…. And as little fire crackers as possible!!!

And somehow every Diwali is one of reminiscing!  I don’t know why I get all sentimental during this festival but I do!!!!

SO this year I’ve just made a little board of all the things I love about Diwali!
