the festival of lights my way
k guys this is the night wolf back. sorry about not being able to blog for like 4 days was too busy preparing for deepavali. so anyway happy deepavali all
k i think i will tell roughly wad happened today and why some of this stuff has to happen every year so non hindus can get the 4-1-1. so anyway the whole day started with a prayer to my dead grand dads and other ancestors. we basically do it to like give thanks for watching over us.we also offer food to them and its like saying hey ure always in our hearts and we will not forget you.the traditional traditional way is we offer the food offerings to crows cause they are seen as our ancestors reincarnated as a crow.but however since in singapore we cannot feed crows we hindus have to switch to the modified traditional way. bascically it means we eat trhe offered food.this works on the principle that we have our ancestors blood in our veins so if we feed ourselves it is somewhat like feding our ancestors.
k so after that we donned on all our new clothes and tried to look good i ended up looking like an anjadi {indian term for gangster} so i decided to change my out fit to a very formal one.k so after that we travelled to all our relatives places for visiting and i got lots of hang paos the haul just for today was 500 bucks man i cant wait for tmr the giving of hang paos however was not an original hindu custom but it became intgrated into our culture ever since we started cohabiting in the same country with them. oh well it is to my benefit anyway. k then laterwe had huge family lunch and dinner boy was it good.first time i realised i could eat lunch three timesnot because i was greedy or anything but it was because people kept forcing me to eat i swear i think i gained all the weight i lost back. my granny especially was stuffing me by constantly feeding me ..haha
all in all i think deepavali is a time when the whole family meets up to catch up eat together and be merry thats what deepavali means to me to get rid of all our pain using the bright light of love k so thats all for today good nites people this is the night wolf signing out once again happy deepavali to everyone
