Diwali09 celebration

Still i remember my school days in my hometown where how we celebrated this festival... before 1 week itself,joy and expectations come around, and the crackers we going to buy, home made sweets... Now, its one more normal day with tv programs,films and outing as usual like a week end... This year get up at 8 normally and came out from room and saw my parents involved in diwali patimandram on every channel... Just took a bath, got asirvatham from my dad with my mom, that is the only thing still following from early days on diwali day.... after breakfast, just took phone and called from a-z friends n wished n talked... that is the only day atleast talked freely to very old school friends, college mates etc... after lunch, as usual went to diwali cinema, adhavan this time in renovated devi theatre, expected and went but got disappointed, just a masala with good songs, thats it... As usual there is no more traffic on mount road,empty road with only chennai peoples...after film, just get into spencers and roamed... most of the shops were empty, only half an hour, came out and road to besant nagar beach.. full of crackers at sky, nice to see such beautiful shot,no where u can able to see at a stretch.. with a plate of baaji n beach chair talk, we have started to finish the day... thats it... now a days missed lot of things on this day in chennai than my hometown days... thats the city life!!!!!
