No, not Hanukkah

Oct 21, 2006 21:11

Today is Diwali, the Hindu 'Festival of Lights'. Now we're not Hindus, but we have a Hindu member in our family now - Arjun! So Arjun and Abeer decided to decorate the path to the front door with diyaas [oil lamps]. But we don't have any oil lamps here. So we just settled for tea-lights.. wax candles that don't last very long ( Read more... )

Prettyful! Presumably your parents don't have a problem with you somewhat celebrating a hindu festival? And what's this about a hindu member of you family? Did I miss that bit?

Naw, my parents got a pleasant surprise when they returned from the mosque - prettyful decorations!

Hindu member of the family = Arjun, my roommate. He's living with us 'cuz he's joined a university here... and he's Papa's friend's son. Sleeps in my bed ;)

Happy Diwali! (well, I don't know if that's the right greeting...) What does your excessively-loud (nah, not really!) shirt say?

wicked_danu October 21 2006, 19:52:39 UTC

Happy Diwali to you too!

My shirt doesn't really say anything. I tried reading its Devnagri script, but it doesn't mean anything. Just random Sanskrit words, repeated.

Love the top hon, would have been better with white or cream pants! Time to take you shopping to FabIndia! =)

wicked_danu October 22 2006, 13:45:53 UTC

Really? Bright orange with white/cream-colored pants? Isn't the light-dark combination in fashion anymore?

Why is Abisheks butt so squishy? Are you sure that was his butt you were fondling?? Why is he wearing a dress btw?

xoxox,
pebs

wicked_danu October 21 2006, 20:16:18 UTC

Wasn't fondling anything!

He's not wearing a dress, Pebsy, he's wearing a kurta, which is a traditional Indian top. It's really long - reaches your knees - but guys always look hot in it.

Re: Daniyal wears Yajñopavītam?! wicked_danu October 21 2006, 20:21:59 UTC

Hey, what "forest"?! You obviously haven't seen some of my uncles shirtless.

Actually, it's not a sacred Hindu thread - it's a sacred Shi'ite thread from the imambargah. I was just being non-chalant and wearing it as an accessory!

Orange is my color, but I'm still very much in support of the disengagement/convergence plan!

Re: PARTIES!!! wicked_danu October 21 2006, 20:17:43 UTC

Those WERE Indian clothes. Except for the jeans of course ;)
Thanks, Sababah!

Thanks, all the candles have gone out now and it's starting to get cold outside.
