Happy Diwali (Deepavali) to one and all. This year we had a quiet time at home with just Shilpa and I with Siddhart and Sebastian.
The evening started with Shilpa and the boys paying their respects and lighting the requisite candles.We then has a gorgeous Indian dinner that Shilpa had prepared followed by the boys running around and around the dining table like boys possessed which was huge fun if not a little loud (Video to follow).
Then for the highlight of the evening - THE FIREWORKS - these of course are illegal in Malaysia so these photos are actually taken in Afghanistan.
The boys both loved the sparklers but freaked out a bit when the other more interesting stuff came out - Sebastian soon came to love it all and couldn't get enough of it. Siddhart however was completely terrified by the rockets (the ones in the bottle as he called them - the bottle was the launch pad of course). We only had three rockets and it was only when the third one landed with a loud THUNK on the neighbours roof that I realised that we needed to go around and apologise in the morning - Oops!
By the end of it all neither Sid nor Seb wanted to go to bed but Daddy was dead on his feet (much to the disgust of Shilpa) so that was Diwali for another year.
