Started anti-biotic treatment of cold. Today is Diwali. A number of good wish messages and telephone calls came on the occasion of Diwali. We too suitably replied. Venita prepared some sugarfree sweets apart from pulse stuffed parathas and kachauris. She decked and made Alpna in front of the main door of the house. Garlands of marigold were hung around it. For me It was a sight to see her lying on the ground in gay abandon in front of the main door and making and painting designs on the floor. Babu would appreciate it much wherever he is and in whatever form and, I am sure, be filled with immense joy. She bought a couple of vases with red and yellow paper flowers and kept in one almirah of the sitting room. The Puja place is decorated elaborately. The Puja followed by Arti was done with requisite rituals and took over half an hour.
Group Captain (Rtd.) Tej Srivastava and his wife dropped in. Besides them, some other families came. Last ones left at about 10.30 pm. Lot of fireworks by Sheomohan's children. They insisted that we witness the same .We witnessed some. Pilku asked to place some photographs of Diwali at Fatehpur in my blog. I will select some for the purpose. It may take a few days.
Retired to sleep at 0015 hrs of 14th morning.

We kept the rangoli only for 2 days, they cleared away all my mehnat in 2 days only, wanted to keep it for chitragupta pooja, but the society didn't allow.
Rangoli is really beautiful. It must have taken lot of time to make it. The choice of colors is soothing. Well done.
