that’s the thing about living in malaysia…
neatly matches my lazy temperament.
a perfectly lovely concept of stretchable time. celebrations are PLANNED many days after the actual event.
eg. deepavali bashes are STILL on. my friends are still wearing silk sarees and lugging a neckfull of bling to deepavali parties.
baby param had a deepavali assembly in his school three days ago.
yesterday our building celebrated deepavali with an open house and a pot luck.
yep… and nobody prefixes the word “belated”. how perfectly wonderful, i say.

Our last Deepavali party for this year is on Nov 19 🙂 works for us.
ppl in chennai would be horrified, no? they are big on
neram + kaalam
wow! I haven’t seen a regular card since.. let see.. Circa 1995,maybe? esp with the tamil deepavali vazhthukkal !
that would be the one i was sending around
love stretched out festivities 🙂
there is a small teeny tiny leeetle chance we’ll move to your neck of the woods. promise me dabbas of murukku if that happens?
what? ???
shooting off an email. now.
*gasp* hurray!
Do we live in two separate KL’s MIM? Here diwali was forgotten as soon as the road side shops near our house disappeared. Even the toddler’s school celebrated diwali 3 days in advance..hmmph
lovely envelopes..the peacock one is beautiful
hey rs.
ours was quietish the first couple of years too…
at about three years KL nicely snuggles into your heart.
stay tuned.
Never too late for thenkuzhal 🙂 Probably one of the few non-kaaram snacks that I adore.
those ones are more work too…
only ribbon is easy.
I love this Deepawali spirit, that goes on and on! Yay Malaysia!
yay! yay! yayyyyy!
