Diwali Blast

For the past 4 days, I’ve been having heavy lunch and dinner outside everyday coz of Diwali. Yesterday I had lunch at kamat yatrinivas (superb and heavy food for anyone who wants to try north Karnataka food ) and dinner at a friends place. My stomach is so full, I feel like a python that has just consumed a really large pig and now needs few weeks of hibernation.

This year I have burst more crackers then ever before. No matter what people say about the noise/smoke pollution, I just love bursting crackers and to be honest I love the smell of the smoke that stays after the the cracker has burst. That’s the true diwali scent 🙂
