Much like every festivals away from home, I was expecting this Diwali to go in the same boring fashion. But quite contrary, is baar Diwali acha bita. For some unknown reason that I am yet to figure out, South India celebrates all the Indian festivals a day before its original date. Same was the case with Diwali this season.
Bangalore's Diwali day: I was with my age-old friends "The Awara Pagal Deewana Sid, the slumdog Su and the Lusty Hawasi Aswini". We had stocked a sizeable amount of "TCS sponsored Highly discounted" phatakas courtesy Slumdog. Nevermind, they proved "Highly effective" quite contrary to its associated tags "TCS & High-discount". It was refreshing to see the Darua (the Odia wala) family man showing the courage to fire the crackers albeit with the help of some 100cm length of Paper :P . Su was at his very best that day and I was mediocre :( And fattu Aswini was out of equation engrossed over phone with a certain pretty lady ;) Then we some mards had Vodka and some impotents (Sid, u listening to this) had breezer ;) Sometime I wonder why Smirnoff always tastes good on special occasions :) I stayed at their place whole night and went to office directly from there.
Part2:
Rest of India's Diwali day: I returned form Office. To my surprise, found phatakes at my house. My roommates are generally agnostic not so coz of belief but so coz of aalas :P By that time my roomies were on high with G (kamino festival k din to break le liye hote) Seeing Dia at everyone's house humara sota hua vivek bhi jag gaya & we bought dia and threads. But sala, ab tel kahan se layen :( Tab idea sujhi, sabke die se thoda thoda tel chori karte hain lol.
We were on 5 yellow cards (read warning from the apartment people for all possible reasons) and our days seem to be numbered in Kanaka Sadan :( Then came the plan leke bhagwan k naam, there can't be a better occasion than Diwali to get some pride back. Khoob mithai leke aaye n sabke ghar me baante. That day our khallu was at his very animated best and saala pata nahi kitne charnon me gira hoga ;) gira hua insaan :P. I got the strategy right to stand in the rear where u have the least chance of pushing urself to find a place at the charans :D Jo bhi ho, the ploy really worked, and since then we haven't recieved any further complains :)
What an IDEA sir ji :D
