Last week was Diwaali. It was the first year that Rohan realized something was going on. It's difficult since the day just isn't as big here as it would be if we were in India. For Rohan, it was exciting because we did a pooja, and he had a role to play in it. He also got get dressed in Indian clothes which he loves to do. So overall Diwaali was a hit.
Diwaali was followed up this past weekend with Halloween. I am happy to say that Rohan had a great one. He's not in school so didn't get to walk in a parade with his costume on, but he did go trick-or-treat with his friends Griffin and Luke. We do this every year so it was nice to be able to do so this year as well. Personally, I was happy and relieved that he was able to keep up with the other kids. I was afraid all of the runnning from house to house would tire him out. But I guess candy is a miraculous incentive.
On both occasions, I have to say my kids looked great so I can't help providing this link for all of you: http://picasaweb.google.com/rupa.motwani/DiwaaliHalloween#
Ravi and I even went to a Halloween party. We were X-Men characters. And so my friends (sorry, I in no way mean to channel John McCain here), it has been quite pleasant this past week except for the fact that I am one of those anxiety ridden Democrats who, despite the positive polls, am holding my breath. Hopefully this week will bring long awaited pleasant news as well.
