As the festival season approaches in the US, the Indian festival season winds down. This was my first diwali. Unfortunately, that very day I contracted stomach flu. It was really nasty and I lay writhing for a long time. Papa-Mummy rushed me to the hospital. Thye doctor too couldn't help much. Once I came back, though, I puked a few times, and that brought soem relief. My new kurta-dhoti and the laddoos also went some way towards bringing my cheer back by pooja time.
Then on Thursday there was Dawat Pooja, the Kayashta celebration of education and worship of the tools of it. Pens and scribbling - now that's something I understand!
