Did you have a good Diwali. We had gulab jamuns and jelebis.
The gulabs were mini ones that Dad found in the frozen section of the Indian grocery and they were delicious.
So very very sweet and cute to boot.
Dad said when he was little they didn’t get sweets very often so it was a big treat at Diwali when they did.
Ma told me she only experienced Diwali once in India itself and it was like Christmas on steroids. That was 39 years ago!!!!
It strikes me that there are many similarities between most of the big religious festivals. It’s all about light coming out of darkness and good triumphing over evil.
Wonder why sweets always get involved too. Maybe it’s something to do with overcoming bitterness.
Regardless I enjoyed and hope to polish off some more this evening.
