Yes thankfully it wasn't winter when this happened...but during the heat wave it feels like one can bear the cold but not the heat! :)<BR/><BR/>DDmom - oh my god - you know I clicked on your link and I was confused for a minute if I was in the right site or not - total make over since the last time I visited your site - I have not been able to read blogs much last couple of weeks...<BR/>Thanks...yes, it is nice ot have friends like that. Though I have very good friends, after we moved to this city, she is one of my close friends and this is the first time I had a chance to spend so much time with her...thanks to this power outage...<BR/>And we do have an electric stove - so could not cook or even make tea!noonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844071708334559013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-10035897118818608862007-09-12T23:10:00.000-07:002007-09-12T23:10:00.000-07:00Hi Swati - thanks for thinking of me!You have an e...Hi Swati - thanks for thinking of me!<BR/>You have an email id?<BR/><BR/>Moppet's mom - Oh boy - yes - it does come to a total standstill w/out power. Will pass on your wishes to kutti girl!<BR/><BR/>Ranjani - Thanks...yes, I wonder if Karthigai is still such a big event in Madras/Bangalore - since most people now live in flats and you can light only so many lamps? <BR/>I know - esp for us here in the US - I feel bad because all these festivals make for great memories of childhood and here Diwali is what is done at the community center - not the kind of event it used to be when I was a child - a huge celebration at home with people dropping by all day long!<BR/><BR/>Tharini - Thanks... I can't believe my absence was even noticed! Nice feeling to know that! :)<BR/>You must write about the place you live in...will make for a nice post from you - am saying this in the context of flicker of lights from fields...noonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844071708334559013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-27591659641503000812007-09-12T09:02:00.000-07:002007-09-12T09:02:00.000-07:00Lovely lovely post.

If you have an electric stove, can't even cook :) <BR/>It's great to have friends like that, isn't it? I am soooo blessed to have some myself.

The part about karthigai celebration - lighting the lamps and arranging them in the verandah, brings back my own childhood memories !<BR/><BR/>Also this line is very true " It is in creating these special moments for them that all the hard work also seems enjoyable." These days festivals like Krishna jayanthi, pillayar chathurthi or Diwali motivate me for exactly these reasons :-)ranjani.sathishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10450770799790366871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-64677729493222871232007-09-12T02:54:00.000-07:002007-09-12T02:54:00.000-07:00It really is amazing how life just comes to a stan...It really is amazing how life just comes to a standstill without power.
