The Festival of Lights

Diwali wasnt any different at the ISB. But it was just great. We began our Diwali pretty early on Friday night. We were given instructions to burst crackers only in the football ground. now that was a bit pissing off, but couldnt help it. strange rules. anyway, so we burst some cracker and then found out that we had actually bought less. then we tracked Doc who was out for a coffee at Mocha and asked him to get some more crackers. finally we managed to get some 2K worth of crackers.

during our first attempt to disturb everyone, vivek and bob tried their engineering skills on the rocket and sent a couple of them to the student village instead of aiming the sky. that was great fun.

a little before we did all this, we had the spouses association performing dance and drama for the whole school in the auditorium. that was awesome. great dances, then a mock on the idiot box, shaayari etc. next was dinner, as usual, nothing great. looked like normal food being served outside. or was it just me, because i had a very bad cold.


the next day, we woke up at 3.45, started the ritual again at 4.15am. and this time, it was right in front of the student village. we did some flower pots, chakras, small bombs etc to alert everyone. then we pushed to the footy ground. we made sure that we burst crackers as close to the student houses, just to disturb them. anyway, in about an hour we were finished with all the ammo we had.



throughout the day, i was out in Hyderabad. late evening, the social life council had organized a diwali party for us. this party can be rated as one of the best parties on campus. the setting was so nice - it was on a slope outside the student village. lots of crackers again - some of the best ones i would say. lots of color and light. no sound. just the ones the girls like.
