holidays!

i just got back from camerons a few days back.me n my mum went 2 ch last wed as my aunt frm ch came down.so we planned to spend some time getting some proper rest and it was a perfect escape for me away frm d smoky air and getting some time for myself.we stayed in my aunts place for a week.ma bro and dad joined us on saturday.well it was quite a nice holiday.it was freaking cold.
19 to 20 deg during the day and 16 to 18 deg at night.and it rains!ma legs were shaking.
and the toilet became my favourite spot.....hmmm...haha.seriously.
on d second day of ma stay in ch,it was a sorrta light festival celebrated by all indian community all over the world.it is known as 'kartigaai'.on this day we light up oil lamps and pray.as ch is a small place,small events are celebrated grand and huge.right in front of my aunts house there the temple where kartigaai is celebrated.so we gt dressed up and walked there.its not even 500m.i act was nt in d mood.felt sleepy cz it was freezing.actually i felt lazy.i just wore a plain suit and my loop earings.and off we went.when we reached d temple all d eyes were on me and my mum.i was like,ok... tats weird.i thought sumtin was wrong with me.then my mum told me that we were new so they were wondering who we were.as i hav never went to a temple for kartigaai.i usually pray at home.so this was ma first time experience celeberating it in temple.they tied a huge stack of like hay and coconut leaf and d pelepah.and they prayed and then they set the stack on fire.it was a huge fire.and the winds were really strong.the fire was like roaring.seriously roaring.finally i understand why people say that.it was awesome.there were sparks flying everywhere.a girls hair almost caught fire.that was freaky.well i experienced tat once too.scary!
it was so warm and nice.i didnt feel cold.then after that we prayed, and ate.i tell u i hav no idea but the temple food is always so tasty.ok..ok maybe because i was hungry.bt it was g8!then ma mum and aunt were like a few steps away from me talking with some one,relative i suppose.suddenly this lady came over to me held ma arms and asked me 'who's child are you'
in tamil.i was like..'ermm sashi and mr venugopal naidu'.she was like 'oh venu's girl isit'.then my mum came and again..

later d nex day we just stayed home.and d nex and d nex.
helped ma aunt vacumming.cz in ch d floors are all carpetted.it was fun.at least better than sweeping.haha..
ma aunt is an awesome cook.she cooks well.and d vegetables i eat there totaly taste different.it tastes fresh.it was so tasty.ma aunt gets all d food stuff fresh from d market.she kept feeding me and my mum.i ate like a pig!omg.when i got home i started working out.went for walks with ma cousin shalu.she stays just 2 rows away from my house.its nice.d only chance i have to explore my neighbourhood.nowdays no one can go for a walk alone.sigh..
