Diwali Party 2, 3, 4…

Festive air prevails in the Garden

Today looked more like Diwali. Unlike yesterday, we had the numbers, members were in the mood to celebrate and most important, there was a lot to go by – from oven fresh cake slices and barfis to biscuits, pedas, even toffees… all to be washed down by glasses of cool-cool Rooh Afza, courtesy Banoo Apa.
From Shekhawat and Kiran Prakash, it

was actually a double treat. On October 17 (see post), the former had come with pedas from Rajasthan (apparently, his favorite) and today, he had toffees and biscuits to supplement another round of pedas.

Likewise, Kiran Prakash had treated us to kaju katlis on October 18 (see post) and today he had not only kaju katlis (apparently, his favorite), but the most appetizing rawa cake available in this part of town. In a striking display of modesty, he described this as a “treat from the Club” given by him -- whatever that might mean.
But then, who really cares for such semantics – especially on celebrating Diwali in the Garden? Everyone had a good time. The festive air that pervaded through the morning is evident from the accompanying pictures.
