nnnnngggggkkkkkkkkkkkkkuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

That's precisely the sound that is there in my ears for the past 1.5-2 hours. Reason: The firecrackers that are being burst for Deepavali.

And I am very much to be blamed for my predicament, 'coz I've been bursting some of the high decibel ones at home.

After my major bulb last year, I became very wise this time around. On Monday, I promptly went with a couple of my colleagues, to the TUCS fair price shop and bought myself the goodies - for Rs.2300/-. Since this did not include my favorite long wala's, my father got them from the shop at Food World. Total cost in both places came to nearly 3700/-. And what did I get:
1. sparklers - 30 cm - 10 boxes of 10 each
2. zamin chakkar - medium - 2 boxes of 25 each
3. Flower Pot - medium - 5 boxes of 10 each
4. special noise emanating zamin chakkar - 2 boxes of 5 each (this was actually my costliest buy: each piece cost 19/- bucks).
5. kuruvi vedi - 20 packs of 5 each
6. red fort 56 wala small - 20 numbers
7. red for medium shell (28 wala) - 20 numbers
8. 1000 wala - 2 nos
9. 5000 wala - 1 nos
10. fancy dappaas - 2 items

I overcame my fears to a good extent and burst the flower pots this time. Other than that I've been focusing only on the sarams. Some 15 of th small ones are over.

Need to plan out the items for tomorrow morning and tomorrow evening.
