“Most individuals favor to remain house for Diwali.” Whereas this may need been true prior to now, issues certain are altering. I spent Diwali 2021 at my home-away-from-home, Narendra Bhawan at Bikaner. Having been there a bunch of occasions – to have fun bringing within the New Yr, to have fun Holi and a number of other time, simply to loosen up and unwind after which, generally, to occasion. Had not but visited for Diwali, so, there I used to be! It was lovely.
Sharing some images of a few of my favorite spots on the lodge, in addition to preparations for Diwali and the Diwali night time occasion.
It simply so occurs, that the central courtyard of the lodge, known as the Diwali Chowk. Naturally, that was the situation for kicking off the Diwali festivities. Beginning with a puja with the GM Mr. Nitin Sud and carrying on upstairs, for a celebration by the pool.
Bikaner was hotter than Delhi / Gurgaon. I wore a number of gold – which is totally not like me – and I even favored how the look got here collectively. A stunning time – together with cellphone calls again house to chatter with the household about lacking Diwali within the house metropolis and the way unhealthy the air pollution there was! Who needs to be in Delhi when the air is poison, which it’s throughout Diwali season.
Now for some images of a few of my favorite corners on the lodge.
I even discovered one thing hidden behind curtains, that I had not seen beforehand – these lovely glass baubles – they appear to be custard apples to me.
A couple of black and white pictures.
An entire load of self portraits as a result of I wished to have fun ME. I had been going by a section of feeling horrible about myself – low self-worth and low shallowness and NB appears to convey out the very best in me, so I felt a renewed sense of, “I’m okay.” Needed to be documented.
And eventually, sunsets on the pool. They signify a manner of claiming goodbye to the lodge, for me. “Till subsequent time.”
