What's on my plate this Diwali ? Kaju barfi, jalebi, gulab jamun, chikki and badams; all store-brought; such a far cry from the home-made sweets of India. I never thought I'd say this but I actually miss cutting nuts and making laddus with Mom. Even the store bought mithai isn't as good as the ones back home, they seem to lack a certain richness. I did make one mithai though. It isn't ready as yet, wonder how it's going to turn out. Anyway, Happy Diwali to everyone.
