Didn’t Rama return to Ayodhya (after the exile and everything) on Deepavali and the citizens burst crackers in joy of the return of their king? So no Thalai Deepavali for the the maapillai. Sorry.
hadnt sita been banished within the first year after their return to ayodhya? she was in the forest giving birth to twins, the husband was in ayodhya paying attention to the dhobi.
besides the chronological thingy, he was one of them north indians, remember? They don’t do the thalai-deepawali-in-wife’s-parents’-place deal 🙂 🙂
All of us bollywood-like bloggers are boycotting this contest. Hmph!
tpl. you arent bollywood like. you are Design Magazine stuff (rearranger of cushions/appetite of 2.5 chapatis). totally SCARY.
You are never gonna forget that 0.5 chapatti, are you?! You are going to make a good mil :p
I read mithila as mithai 🙂 blame the foodie in me! will eagerly await the answer, especially the part related to food!

Choxie: its a trick question. The clue lies in the chronological order of said events.
Nope – in Ayodhya only
FIL sent tons of sweets, mounds of Gold, a zillion oxen and a bazillion PYTs as gifts
A thousand apologies for the prior incorrect answer
Duhhh moment – The festival of lights came to being only during Krishnavatara – so no Deepavali for Rama
bingo!

Ask the shadow puppeteers in tamil nadu- they have their own version for every episode in the ramayan. mostly subversive.

her husband is paying attention to the dhobi.
mine is paying attention to dhoni.
and here *I* better pay attention to the dhobi who is absconding with a whole bundle of clothes.
MiM, choxbox:dhobi, dhoni, dono dho daalte hain!
mera toh dimaag dho daala!!!!!!!
