Two days back I was studying almost about seven in the evening. My studies
was very much disturbed because a group of my neighbors were talking very
loudly. So I just tried to look them through the window and mak
e out why they
were talking so much.
Wow ! it was so beautiful. There I saw one house glowing in the dark. they had
lighted the whole house with “diyas”. As usual I ran out with my camera to
capture this sight. my neighbor was very happy to see me take photo of their
house and so she was very interested to lend some information to me.
She told that it was one Thrikkartika day
that they light their house with “diyas”.
In detail Thrikkarthika the most
important function among Brahmins (a division of Hindu’s,a
caste).Thrikkarthika is defined as the
Festival of Lights.
Then she invited me into main hall of their house and showed som
e food
preparations which they had kept for their God and some lanterns. This
preparation included banana and some other things like avil, malar ect . she
told that according to their custom at any hindu festivals they keep such a
preparation before their God “Ganapathy” and only after that they would eat .
After some time I came back home and I also thanked here for sharing
information.
Maybe this made her very happy that she came gave that food preparation to us.
Yumm…. It was very sweet and tasty.

Hi Susan :)
Very interesting information and excellent photos.
You have demonstrated by your action a very important lesson in making friends - IF YOU WANT TO MAKE GOOD FRIENDS, SHOW GENUINE INTEREST IN OTHERS AND THEIR ACTIVITIES.
I hope and pray that you will get good marks in your exams.
