Diwali 2007

So far we have been having great time enjoying diwali. It's been 14 years since I am in Pune to enjoy diwali first hand. For last 14 years, our diwali celebrations were done US style, which means simply getting together once with friends on the nearest diwali weekend. It used to be fun but clearly lacked real diwali atmosphere. May be because we didn't get to enjoy it for so many years, this year we are enjoying every scent, every aroma, every taste, every vision and every small moment of the spectacle that is Diwali.

One thing I have realized is that regardless of how technology has helped make the world smaller (or flat) there is no substitute to "being there" to enjoy something....

Enjoy some of the photos of our diwali celebration. Can you notice how we are hedging our currency fluctuation risks for 2008? :-)

Great pictures! Too bad you didn't have a loony to throw on the pile. Why does US currency look so dull compared to everyone elses?

You are an excellent writer, of course, but it is lazy tech writing like that that makes the internet world flat. What scents, aromas, visions, tastes of the spectacle? Tell the story, Suhas, don't tell about the story. It's like fuzzy pics without color.

This advice is worth what you paid for it. Thanks for at least posting something. We miss you all.
