This is not very relevant, but I wanted to tell you all that I had a wonderful Halloween. I can't remember the last time I felt so happy and content.
I had a lovely lunch with some new friends, one of whom knows Hindi and the other is learning, so we can practice together.
Then I went to my study group and after that, they had a big party. Lots of kids in adorable costumes. We carved pumpkins (I didn't have one and someone gave me one of theirs to carve) and we ate lots of good food and the kids went trick or treating. I haven't carved a pumpkin since I was about thirteen years old and even then my Dad did most of the work!
The gathering was all Indian except for me, but I felt welcomed, accepted, and part of the crowd. Everyone else there was married and had children between the ages of 2 and 10. I had fun with the kids and talked with the adults; I ate Amma-ji's halwa and brought home a cute little pumpkin.
Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteHere in the Netherlands there is no Holloween. Since my step children are 1/2 Canadian my wife does a little something for them, so we got some candy decorated the house and they got to stay up until 2 watching scary movies.
"we ate lots of good food "
ReplyDeleteexcuse me? SURYA
Glad you enjoyed.I also like halwa.
ReplyDeleteSurya, we did have good food! Not just candy :) It was an interesting spread of foods. There was green bean casserole and lasagna as well as Indian food!
