Last night was Diwalli, and it went off! Last night walking around Delhi with Wes, Kate, and Sara(two people from Wes’ organisation) it felt like we were in a war zone. There were explosions every few seconds, such fun. Looking into the sky one could see fireworks in every direction. We went for a walk around our neighbourhood and we made some friends at a little neighbourhood park. We were given sweets by them and watched the families children let off fireworks for a while. After that we headed back home, dodging some of the more violent fireworks. It was a bit insane as there were cars still driving down when projectile fireworks were being sent across the road. On the way we passed a fireworks stand on the way back and I decided to buy some fireworks. When we got back home we lit them with some of the kids in our alleyway. It was good fun, and it was the most we have interacted with our neighbours. They also sent us some sweets when we went back to our apartment. The explosions continued into the wee hours of the morning here and there has been a small amount more today.

I’ll post some photos in my gallery some time this week.
