Diwali pooja and celebrations in US at home

"Yaar!! Humne bhi Lakshmi ki pooja ki!! Wo bhi Dollar wali lakshmi bhaiyya!!!" ya!! We all came home and did the pooja and aarthi at home.

The temperatue outside is very very cold believe me.. 41F (translates to 5 Celcius). My colleague (Kiran) I left office by 15:15. Roamed around the WTC looking for some electronics and later got to the Path to get to Journal Square. Started walking all the way from Journal Square Path Station(a little far it is that I stay in Sprice Street). Wearing a Jacket and also covering head till ears with a woolen cap, we are still shivering while walking. We decided to go to a restaurant and have some Indian Chaats. Samosa Chaat was hot, spicy and delicious. I stay with a gujarathi family; they being Swaminathan followers, do not use even Onions at home. So after a long time had food with Onions. Also took a hot "masala chai" for go and hit the streets to get to home.

We have one of my friend's Mamaji and Mamiji who is visiting US and they stay along with us. They are so energitic even in their age that they came up with doing the pooja and all sung and done for 30 or 40 mins.

Mamiji also started preparing Poori with Aloo Mutter. It will. be a yummy yummy dinner; poori with Aloo Mutter and Pulav.

Morrow all set to go to the temple. Here in Jersey City, there is a Swaminathan Mandir and atleast huge expectations set for me that there will be 1000 types of food items!! YES BOSSSSS.. THOUSAND.. I have not put zeroes by mistake..

I will blog morrow with my enthralling experience(hopefully) in the temple.

Till then, to all of you!! Wish u a very very happy and safe diwali once again!! Have FUN!! But carefully!! Do not hurt others or either get hurt urself!!
