Happy Deepavali

This year's lead-up to Deepavali was a bit special for me. For the first time in my life, I went to the Deepavali bazaar at Little India with S, my young Indian colleague. We were there to take some pictures for our company's newsletter. A bit embarassing but interesting. I will do it again :)

It's such a strange coincidence that all the Indians (friends/colleagues) I know have names that starts with S - all people whom I am glad to have met and befriended. We were close and distant at various points of our lives but I have always felt comfortable with them everytime we get to meet up :) Sweet and savory, just like the deepavali treats. Here's a happy festival of light to all of you!
