Mini me..
Sunday, November 3, 2013 at 10:00AM We had a quiet fireworks celebration in our backyard. Wanted to have a few pictures of this. So I set up a tripod and had the camera on self timer.
The first few round of sparklers was marked by me constantly requesting that all four of us start around the same time and look into the camera etc. Always get good shots with the black background, so I push for pictures..
;)
After the third photo the little one yelled "Appa, I want to enjoy vedichiying the pattasu! So just come here and do this with us!"
I promptly switched the camera off and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the pattasu vedichiying! (crackers bursting).
Watching the little one enjoying the fireworks with such intensity brings back so many memories of me bursting crackers as a kid.

If there is a "pattasu" gene, it has definitely been passed on to the next generation!

There is definitely a 'pattassu' gene.......Venkat and I didnt enjoy vedis much as kids. My kids dont care much for pattassu, especially vedis. We had a 'green-pollution-free' Diwali this year.
Priya,
we are not ready to give up sparklers yet. there is no Kambi in most of the Kambi maththappu.. they have wooden sticks instead.. so partly going green.
dont think a few sparklers one day of the year is going to make a difference to the green thing. we do it the rest of the year, we drive zero emission or hybrid cars, recycle everything to the best of our ability, conserve water, don;t buy bottled water. etc. etc.
