Hi Friends,

we (me & my dh) planned to invite my il' s on diwali day for lunch. we r going there for dinner everyday since yesturday for diwali.
I wanted to invite only mil,fil,bil & co-sil but not the sil. But i couldn' t get the courage to say so to them. so invited all of them. Also my fil' s elder bro & his wife was there yesturday when i gave invitation so ended up inviting their whole family i.e uncle, aunty, cousin bro cousin co-sil & their daughter also.
so finally I am having 11 people over for lunch tomorrow. I was bit worried but i think it will be ok bcs my dh is very helping type. he is fond of cooking also & sometimes when he gets free time (which is very rare bcs of his business) he does cook good things. so he has decided to make sweets himself today evening for tomorrow & will also help me cooking lunch tomorrow.
I know, u all must be getting jelous of me knowing my dh can cook & helps me when required. LOL
We both r very excited bcs after a long time we will get to do all of it in our own way. when we were overseas for few years we use to have big getogether parties for friends and we use to enjoy.
and in the evening we will be attanding big family getotgether which happens every year. My mil' s family is very huge & they have this big party where we all meet (around 80 people), have dinner & enjoy fire crackers together.
So looking forward to having good times.
I am secretly wishing my sil shold not come to our house tomorrow bcs we r still not on talking terms & don' t wish to be in future also. but the saying ' you can choose frinds but not the relatives' is true. and we r stuck with this relatives for a lifetime. Its good that we can share our true feelings on this board.

WISHING YOU ALL VERY HAPPY DIWALI AND A PROSEPROUS NEW YEAR.

Do share your diwali experinces.
Love

i hope you all must have great time during festival.

i had a good time too afcourse with some minor cliches but it was good.
first of all, Diwali lunch, it went very well. we(me & my dh) had good time in kitchen together. he prepared sweet dish called ' shrikhand' (which is my favourite) and also subji ' panir makkhnwala' from microwave recepie book.
also my sil didn' t came (on the pretext of have to attand friend' s get to gether) which was very good for me.
after lunch my neice helped me finish my rangoli till evening, then we went to il' s house for laxmipuja, than we went for family get together, there we had dinner & played housey & burst some firecrakers till 1 o clock at night.

Next day we went to my parent' s house, il' s house & nannaji' s hopuse to wish happy new year. than we rested for few hours in the afternoon, than we went to few other relative' s house with my bil & whole family. than at night people came at my house. my bro & family, dh' s mama' s & masi' s family. than we again burst crackers till 1.30 at night. than some cousins ataye over & we played monopoly till 4 in the morning. than we slept till 10.00
my dh' s cousins all teenage girls ,they like it very much at our house so we had very good time. they left in the afternoon.we had lunch & took some rest. than again we went to il' s plave to spent evening with them & bil' s family. at night after dinner again we went to few relatives house to wish new year with bil' s family.
bil was visinting from out of town & left today morning.

Diwali i am working so will not do much normally we go to our inlaws but after all the drama in the last year i dont want to go there for a few days to stay now so we will be going on Sunday just for the day....Its never been done that we dont stay but i told my dh that i will come but i will only come for the day i will not stay there as they have not respect for me and i know they dont like me...he agreed as he must be thinking that its better i come for the day rather then not come at all,
My mil is having dinner at her house on friday evening for the whole family but she has not mentioned it to us...whether we come or not is beside the point but she should atleast tell me...but still i will go and do my duties on Sunday...What is so annoying is that on that day they are so fake with me and when we come back home its just back to normal where they dont speak to me etc....to be honest now i am used to it and am glad in a way sometimes they dont talk to me as whenever they do talk they always say something sarcastic anyway, so better they dont speak.
Tommorrow we going to see om shanti om with my dh so that will be nice...
Shall let u know what happpends after sunday..

All the best and i hope u have a good diwali...Let us know how urs goes.
