We usually, in fact never did anything traditional or celebrated Diwali ever since we moved to the US. Somehow this year, forced by the limits of quarantine felt strongly to do something at home.. go a little traditional.. cook something nice and just have a nice time with Sheesh.
So, as soon as I got off work spent close to 2 hours in the kitchen preparing some of our favorite Indian food. On the menu, there was paneer, chole, aloo along with poori and some halwa.
We both dressed up in our traditional attire (rare occurrence with us), lit some Dia’s, set up a small prayer place to perform our good old Diwali Pooja. It brought back all kinds of memories from our childhood, as we would very excitedly do all of this back home with family 🙂
Very nice memory to preserve Indeed!
