Deepavali Greetings to all!!

Today is Deepavali day. The festival of lights. I'm here in India.. it was a day to remember. Very different from home but so meaningful in its own way. My dad came to spend deepavali with me here in Manipal,Which made the festival feels less lonely.

The celebrations started last night itself! Our class, bought firecrackers( Which are SO NOT BANNED in India!), and we spent Sunday night, form 930 onwards playing!!. We had soo much fun! Will post those pics later k. Our class has some budding pyrotechies!! It was funny to see these guys go with the macho swagger to light the fireworks and then run for their lives once it was lit!! We camwhored and took LOADS of pics I MEAN LOADS of pics !!

Fastforward, Deepavali day. Woke up at 6 to go to temple.. we went to the old anfd very famous udupi krishna temple. It was so beautiful. So so beautiful. Went with my classmates,dad didnt follow la. But it was still great!!

After tht we came back and I headed back to Valley View to go see daddy. Then we all went for lunch. Lunch was fun except for Poor Arifin.. He had a tummy upset!! I think it was the drinks they boys had last night. You see, drinking water here that isnt mineral water is very very unsafe!! No matter how long it has been boiled for, our poor malaysian stomachs cant take it!! We need BISLERI, or AQUAFINA :D
and these fellers, im sure, drank the water that the shop people pioured for them and didnt ask for mineral water!! And the result, Arifin's aching tummy!! Poor thing,for the first time i saw him soo quiet!

After lunch, Mathan n Amar took him to the KMC student clinic,but it ws closed. SO then they headed back and were supposed to go the Sonia clinic later.

The girls(Pat Linda Vanessa Vanessa helena ) n I headed back to uni. In the evening, There was a fireworks display at the KMC greens. The university organised this. It was in one word FANTASTIC( or as Dr R would say EXCELLENT WONDERFUL FANTASTIC :P)
But seriously it was great!! the air filled with birght colours, shades of green blue red and yellow. It really gave a nice ned to the whole day...

and thts Deepavali in Manipal.
The university is kind. Right after Deepavali holiday( which is onle ONE day), we have an anatomy test. So no poins for guessing how i shall spend the night.

that is all
