“Most individuals want to remain residence for Diwali.” Whereas this might need been true prior to now, issues positive are altering. I spent Diwali 2021 at my home-away-from-home, Narendra Bhawan at Bikaner. Having been there a bunch of instances – to rejoice bringing within the New 12 months, to rejoice Holi and a number of other time, simply to calm down and unwind after which, typically, to get together. Had not but visited for Diwali, so, there I used to be! It was stunning.
Sharing some images of a few of my favorite spots on the lodge, in addition to preparations for Diwali and the Diwali evening get together.
It simply so occurs, that the central courtyard of the lodge, is named the Diwali Chowk. Naturally, that was the placement 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 quite a lot of gold – which is solely in contrast to me – and I even preferred how the look got here collectively. A beautiful time – together with telephone calls again residence to chatter with the household about lacking Diwali within the residence metropolis and the way dangerous the air pollution there was! Who needs 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 stunning glass baubles – they appear like custard apples to me.
A number of black and white photos.
A complete load of self portraits as a result of I needed to rejoice ME. I had been going by a part of feeling horrible about myself – low self-worth and low shallowness and NB appears to convey out the perfect 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.”
