At night when the stars light up my room, I sit by myself, talking to the moon. Tonight is a very special night for me, and it's Kojagiri Pournima (Sharad Pournima as some might say). Ever since a child, year after year, we celebrate this day by sitting in the night flooded with the light of the full moon, drinking milk. Since moon is supposed to be closest to the earth on this day, the moon rays are said to have curative properties. The vessel containing the sweet is prepared and left in the moonlight to be consumed later. According to Ayurveda, the `pitta' or acidity aggravates at the end of the monsoon season. This is the reason why cooling foods are recommended to neutralise the pitta and balance it. The consumption of cold milk and rice flakes is supposed to be a good remedy for pitta. Coming back , I remember my mother would make me sit by the window,...
Diwali was just around the corner and as the title suggests, it was just as delightful as expected (though the tiring work of cleaning the entire house and prepping for Artis and Poojas and shopping at the last minute made it difficult to cram all of this in 4 days but well, it was so worth it !).
Usually before Diwali we would paint the diyas and make rangolis but this year we were trapped by the mops and old clothes that were to be given to those who need them and a whole mess of cleaning up.
There was Literally no time for us to do a decent shopping because I got very few holidays before and I still have many practicals and exams to give (still blogging tho) .. so the outfit which I wore was totally last minute and bought from various places and still it worked quite well.
These were the earrings bought from the street shop which were so beautiful I was confused which one to wear.
Though I had made a resolution almost 8 years ago not to burst crackers and not to harm the environment by any means, I yearned to see a small patakha this year. There is a huge progress in NOT bursting crackers this year that I'm happy people are more aware of the consequences of them and also to stop child labour.
Well, what's a Diwali without pretentious Photos and an Akash-kandil (Lantern)?
Outfit details:
The Golden blouse and Odhni : Big Bazaar.
The Pink Skirt : Reliance Trends.
Earrings : Street Shopping in Tulshi baug.
Nath : My ajji's.
