Diwali at Autumn Oaks

Diwali was celebrated at Autumn Oaks on Friday the 9th Nov 07. There was enthusiatic particpation from all the families.


There were some games for children and adults. While all the children got some prizes for their participation, Kaplana & Senthil took home the prize for winning the game "Musical Arms" for the 'old people' !

Mr & Mrs Kulkarni (visiting grandparents of Pranav and Pranshu) were the winners in the Paper dance game.

Venu "our official photographer" captured some pictures of the event and here is the link from his album. Thanks Venu for sharing the photos.

Happy Diwali

What a great way to start this blog than to begin writing about some good work on this auspicious occasion.

Annapoorna

Hindu organisations around the Sacramento area are coming together to prepare and donate food for homeless. Plans are in place for giving food to 500 people. This is being organised at a place called Loaves and Fishes in Sacramento.

More info on this initiative can be had in

I will come back with some photos and blog on the event.

At least I am really excited to COOK for 500 people !! Just getting ready with an alternative profession in case SAP falls down

Diwali Celebrations

Many Indians in our apartment community came up with an idea to have a get together on Diwali. It was really heartening to know that almost every Indian family in our community is participating and this initiative is entirely driven by our womenfolk (as usual....Thumbs up to them ). I will upload some photos in my next posting.

I am signing off with warm Diwali Wishes to you and your family and remember ....

“The virtues of donations are great because it helps the needy and at the same time it gives an opportunity to the donor to give the surplus to the people in need. It helps the needy to sustain himself. ”
