Diwali & festive fever
Pre-Diwali is all about redecorating houses. Paint the houses, add new furniture and shop for appliances. All mums are Marie Kondo in action. Hectic days of de-junking clutter. Then comes clothes n mall hopping. Next comes food and recipes. Some traditional, others modern in a mix. Loads of guests and relatives coming home. Hectic time yet full of enjoyment. Sindhi households celebrate the festival with various types of layi or chikki and a vegetable made with 7 veggies called sata bhajiyu.This curry is made with 7 different veggies. While Gujarati community celebrates with a similar curry, undhiyu, the South with kajjakaylu/gujiya, badushah/balushahi and various types of burfi.
