Oct 17: This Diwali we had a small get together as usual at our place in Fremont. We had invited Anu, Ranga and family, Raju and Harsha for the party. We had fun talking.
Oct 18: We went to Fremont temple. They had organized a small function for Ravan Dahan. Check out the album "Ravan Dahan." Also there was a pravachan from a renowned person. We had our lunch and headed back home by afternoon.
Oct 19: The next day we went out with Jaya (Priya's Sister in law) to Sunnyvale temple where they had a Diwali Mela organized. It was a fun weekend. After the Mela we had to go to a party at our friend's place.
