“Most individuals favor to remain residence for Diwali.” Whereas this might need been true previously, 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 rejoice bringing within the New Yr, to rejoice Holi and several other time, simply to chill out and unwind after which, typically, 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, is 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 lots of gold – which is completely in contrast to me – and I even favored how the look got here collectively. A stunning time – together with cellphone calls again residence to chatter with the household about lacking Diwali within the residence metropolis and the way unhealthy the air pollution there was! Who desires 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 like custard apples to me.
A number of black and white photos.
An entire load of self portraits as a result of I wished to rejoice ME. I had been going by means of a part of feeling horrible about myself – low self-worth and low vanity and NB appears to deliver out one of the 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 approach of claiming goodbye to the lodge, for me. “Till subsequent time.”
