Diwali
25 October 2003, 3:13 PM

I hope this is a good Deepavali (Diwali) for my Hindu friends out there! I got invited to a celebration this evening by the Indian students here on campus, so I'm looking forward to breaking my diet with a few Indian sweets. Yum. :-)

Found some recipes on The Hindustan Times web site. Oh geez, I could go for some rasmalai...

[Update: So I was good to my diet and didn't have the sweets. Actually I didn't have anything because I wanted to make sure the student group had enough to serve everyone - they had a HUGE crowd. There were a lot of people from campus Indian/Pakistani community (small in this town, but still enough to get a cricket match together) and lots of non-South Asians, staff and faculty mostly, from the Computer Science Department and the IT Division where a lot of these students take classes or are employed. The Ballroom was absolutely filled to the brim. It was neat too - I just got an invitation and didn't know what to expect. The students put together a program that was rather educational (several classical and traditional dances, several songs - both classical and modern, explanations and fashion show of different styles of dress, poetry and an invocation). It was extremely well organized and rather nice.]
