and wat i found was my doppelganger...
i never thought i could really do wat all i did on dis diwali... so from 2nd nov onwards.,.,,,evrythg else ll go down in the history,...
thgs i did for the very first time in my life and also in almost four years of my married life...
1.i made a dough (courtesy mom in law..she taught me how to)
2.i made 14 chappatis as wel.. in one go... (i need an applause.. thk u) and one day i made daal baati churma as well...(thats the traditional dish)
3.i instructed how to lighten up the house...lightings n all...
4.i made rangoli...(dis is somethg i always saw on tv)
5.i went to vegetable market wid dad in law..
6. though i m not into crackers.. but i bravely did the rocket and the seven star thg...
though all this left me completely exhausted..so many guests and gifts ;-).. and of course my violent way of opening the gifts... i told my dad in law.. daddy those who r coming widout gifts need not enter... i ll not offer them sweets..
so that doppleganger thg.. i never thought i cud wrk so much... i was completely tired.. tired to the stage that i was waiting for the day to end asap...so that i can just dozz off... but den i checked my limits... i pushed the envelope a little harder... a little extra mile... and so i met a new me.. a new abhilasha... abhilasha who looks just like me.. but she is a grown up gal.. she can handle her house hold course now... and now she knows that whr she thks she cant do any more... thats the point from which she has to actually start...
PS: i ll put a picture of the rangoli and also of the lightings that i got it done...
*claps*-wow-dough-making,chapati-making...lots of gharelu(hehe..couldn't resist that),err,traditional things done by you this Diwali, Abhilasha...

A big grin at the decision not to offer sweets to non-gift bearers..whew!U are in Gujarat,na?People don't usually bring gifts, unlike as in Delhi, you know...max,they're happy to come and share 'ek cutting chai'.(If you don't know what that is, you're not a true GR(Gujarat Resident):)
