Every year, when it's Deepavali, also known as the Festival of Lights for the Hindus, I'll call my friends over to my house, either for lunch or dinner. This year, just like last year, I called them for dinner.
There were two main groups of friends who came. The first group consisted of my classmates and one other friend whom I've known for a long time. Since all of them in that group came first, I asked them to have dinner first as it was 8.00 p.m., which was way past the dinner time of some of them.
There was briyani, chicken curry, mix vegetable, mutton and salad. It was a nice change for them as they don't usually eat Indian food. Some of them found the food spicy. Well,Indian food can't be called Indian food without a little bit of spiciness.
After dinner, they went to chill out upstairs. They were surprised to see how much my house had changed after the renovation this year. Then, they were hanging out in my study room. After about half an hour, they left for another place.
As soon as they left, my second group of friends, the Prodigy members, came in to have dinner. It was an epic reunion except for a few who couldn't make it. All of us squeezed in one table and filled our hungry tummies. We were laughing all the way with jokes and stuff like that.
After dinner, we headed upstairs to my room. We started off with chilling out and then havoc started (as usual). We started off a pillow fight. My room has a lot of pillows for no real reason. So, everyone grabbed one pillow or bolster and started hitting each other.
After that, some of my friends had a small wrestling session. This is when bad luck struck. One of my friends accidentally banged my clothes cupboard. When he did that, one of the 3 crystal balls on my cupboard (kept for Feng Hsui reasons) fell on the ground. It made a perfect circle hole on one of the tiles and there was not a single scratch on the crystal ball. I knew it was an accident and just laughed away with them. After some time, all of them went back home.
Oh ya....I forgot to mention something. When my first group of friends were upstairs, one of the Prodigy members accidentally destroyed the kolam in front of my house. A kolam is a pattern, usually a flower pattern, which is formed by using coloured rice. He was very disappointed but I told that it was ok since my family was going to remove it the next day.
Deepavali is the only time of the year I call my friends to my house because my house it quite far from where they stay. I'm thinking of doing something different next year. I getting bored with the same routine. Let's see how things are during Deepavali next year.......
