Delhiberations
The joys of coming back to home after a long time cannot be explained in a few words. Over the next few days, its going to be rocking time - will meet old friends (some after 2-3 years), eat home-cooked food, play with my nephew (yes, he now calls me ‘Maamu’ and that too very clearly.. :)), and spend some quality time with everybody at home.
Btw, its sad to see Delhi in the news for the wrong reasons. Why on earth people want to kill others? No logic, no reasoning, can ever explain this. What motivates them to kill innocents? Is it the money, is it the power, or is it plain madness? Just because of these few people, many families will be having a dark diwali and eid this year. And, the victims could have been just about anybody - the places they planted the bombs are among the most congested markets of Delhi. Add to that, the time they choosed, was peak shopping hours. A#!@%$#@! They should be given a fitting reply by the government.

Thats good yaar u got to spend diwali at home
great .. and i really dont understand why pepole do that. Politician are cashing upon the Hindu - Muslim thing. I came across a nice thing
DIWALI has ALI in it
RAMZAN have RAM in it
when the religion is not seperating anyone then why do ppl make lines.

Poonam: Yup, it was a really awful - killing so many innocents for no reason at all.
Manish: Yup, I had got that forward a long time back. Its just the politicians and people thirsty for power, who do these type of acts - normal people don’t even thing of these petty issues.
Ankur: Govt won’t do anything. This has been going on for so many years. The people at the helm either don’t know what to do, or don’t want to do anything.
Anat: Happy Diwali to you!
Ankur: Happy Diwali!
Dreams: Happy Diwali to you as well.
Prasad: I’m back in Mumbai now. Diwali was cool - enjoyed the trip as always
LOL @ Maaku 
You know, now, the problem with kiddo is he keeps on talking, doesn’t keeps his mouth shut at all. Earlier we used to teach him to speak, and now when he has started learning, its difficult to stop him. Result - phone bills of this jobless fellow are going to rise
