Some of you may have noticed my absence from WordPress for the last few days. I have been trying to post more regularly and consistently for the last couple of weeks but with Diwali and New Years coming up I got preoccupied. And had guests coming over so I let real life take the front seat for now.
For those of you that might not know, this week has been Diwali and New Years. Diwali was on Monday and New Years was on Wednesday. Not all Indians celebrate New Years after Diwali as far as I know, I’m pretty sure it’s just a Gujarati thing. Now, I’m not the biggest fan just because I’m pretty socially awkward and can get a little overwhelmed in social situations. With New Years, so many people come over and my battery sometimes ends up at zero by the end of the day.
But this year has been nice, my neighbours are so generous compared to where we used to live. These ones sent us so many presents. We got lots of desserts and sweet treats including biscuits and homemade mini-donuts. We also got a bouquet, chocolates and a tiny Buddha statue which is perfect because my other Buddha statue broke and it was so dear to me. All these gifts and being around more cheerful neighbours made this time special for us. And don’t worry, we sent gifts too! Anyway, here’s some pictures of some of the gifts:
I hope everyone that was celebrating had a very happy Diwali and wishing you the best for this new year!
