Unsual for this part of the year

They say the temperature today is 17 deg celcius, 5 deg lower than the normal. It's rather unsual for the air to be this chilly at this time of the year. While driving today I could feel the "Delhi ki Sardi" effect. It was "Cold". And its unlike Poona's cold where its cold but not cold as in winters, especially not at all like Delhi's winters. I miss it but for some reason I'm not sad to be back in Delhi. I see a future, I see myself growing here in all aspects as I deem a person should. I don't feel to have lost anything in transition.
Two occassions bumper to bumper rather leaves you with a tired feeling, but... I'm not tired. It was sister's B'day and after a long time we had a get together. Had friends and relatives over with some chilled Dew and amazing Daal Makhni. I can't even tell how many people were congratulating my cousin Rupa on that amazing Daal she made. Not to mention the Dahi Wadas. But the best part were the chinese "magic" candles, me and Aunt accidentally bought, that refuse to doze off after repeated attempts to extinguish them.

It's office time tomorrow and also the french classes (of which I'v already missed a lot). I'll be working on the pages tomorrow as it's in the final stages of desiging. I'm glad I'm getting to learn both reporting and page designing (which wouldn't have been the case had I hadworked in a large setting).

Diwali went off well though I didn't had the energy nor the enthu to burst any crackers at all (I'm sure somebody's already doing my part). My bed in full of gifts we recieved for Diwali, from the family size Kurkure pack to the dinner set, Diwali (atleast once a year) makes us feel and we have so many acquaintances (even though many are temporary).

Many don't even know the significance of Diwali for Sikhs. Its not only the day to commemorate the lying of the foundation stone of Golden Temple Gurudwara but is also celebrated to celebrate the release of the Sixth Guru of the Sikhs Guru Hargobind Singh. On this day (according to the Hindu or Nanakshahi Calander I guess) the Guru was released from the clutches of Mughals Emperor Jehangir. Therefore, a traditional Diwali day for Sikhs consists of going to the Gurudwara (usually in the evening, putting some candle at the Gurudwara and to put the remaining ones at your home) distributing sweets and gifts to the neighbour followed by crackers (or in my case some music and sleep, which im also going to do right now). Off goes my arse to bed.
