Diwali preparations...

It has been more than a week now since I last posted on 'My World'. 

Every time I planned to post, some other important work overpowered the brain. 

It became really very hectic with a never ending list of tasks to be performed with in limited time along with departmental duties and routine household chores. 

After all 'Diwali' is once a year festival for us when maximum shopping is to be done. 

Yesterday was 'Dhan-Teras' when markets had no free space to move. 

Shopkeepers were busy making profits, while customers seemed unaffected by soaring prices. 

They were actively  buying sweets, dry fruits, steel utensils, silver-gold coins and ornaments, gifts for their near and dear ones .
To summarize, Diwali is best time to show off your buying power.

For me this festival brings reason to get rid off unnecessary clutter and be more organized. 

Though hubby avoids busy crowded places, after slight persuasion he agreed to accompany me to buy metal shelf for kitchen. 

Real work began after it took its place. 

Emptying, washing, drying, re-filling of containers followed in succession and at last the result was wonderful.

It would have been very tiring had I not taken frequent breaks to complete the job on my own. 

Of course, hubby indirectly helped me by taking care of kids in the mean time.

Hoping to share many more Diwali events...

Happy Diwali!
