Happy Diwali

Dear All, Let me first wish you a very Happy Diwali. May this festival of lights bring you much joy and happiness

I didn't go home for Diwali, wanted to , but decided not to. The short leave and the prospect of piled up work after coming back and the fact that I am planning another trip again in November made me stay put.

And although I have felt jealous of people who have made statements that they are having fun with their families and friends in their hometowns :), this break has been good to me as well.

I have caught up on sleep and the positive effect of which is already showing on me. I don't feel like I am running on reserve battery.

Basically I have been lazing around, watching movies one after another and hogging on the sweets. Something I haven't done since I left NITIE. :)

Until next post. cya
