Diwali and gifts just go together. When I was a little girl Diwali was the day next to Kali Pujo.The day some people did Laxmi pujo!One extra wonderful day to spend eating and having fun.
That friend is no more.The pujo still happens at her place.Life goes on.You do everything.Have a lot of fun.But you always remember how it was.
Maybe life is a lot more comfortable. But along the way, all the people you wanted to you, wanted to go somewhere else.That’s life.Good bad and ugly the lights of Diwali makes everything beautiful.That’s why even when you want to cry sometimes you end up smiling.Because life really is beautiful and blessed.

It has been a while since I have included chia seeds in my daily routine. I am not sure of what it is doing but yes I am taking it in water once a day. When it comes to Diwali memories, those from the childhood are the dearest. Being the book lover, I would love to get book ends as gifts. Is anybody listening? 😀
I am impressed Amrita with everything you do or say. First of all, glad that you included chia and quinoa in your diet. I recommend it to people but didn’t start them myself. Making healthy choices is really important and who knows that more than you. Thanks for mentioning me in your post ..glad to be your friend. Keep going 🙂
Thanks Deepa.It’s so much better when we take care of our health.Life just gets better.I am honoured to be your friend.
You seem to have had a gread Diwali Dear! Sweets means Bengali sweets for me. Chia for me too, I love them with anything. May your wishes come true.
Thanks Menaka .Diwali was indeed fun.
Happy Diwali. I am against crackers and stopped bursting since I was 15 or something. I light the colored earth lamps and met friends to share mithai:) Such small things makes Diwali a beautiful earthly affair where we become one with the soul.
Good Vishal. You are a very motivated person.Thanks for reading
Lovely! Diwali and gifts sure go hand in hand. I’ve been considering trying chia seeds, let me know what you do with them and how it tastes. These days I’m having amaranth for breakfast and love it!
I have been having Chia for last 6 months .You can add it to your morning oats,roti .Just take care to have plenty of water.Chia swells up and makes you full. It has a slightly nutty taste.I love it????
It’s super that you ordered Chia and Quinoa for Diwali. Cheers to health!
Thank you for the mention , you have a generous heart and the ability to include people in your journey and make them feel special as we all go along!
All the best for the November Blogging, let’s have fun!
Thanks Mayuri .The Chia and quinoa was needed to put me back on track after all the food fun????.
Thanks for such a wonderful compliment.Life let’s us choose our friends.So choosing whom I want in my journey helps make it more fun.Glad we met,even if online????
