Celebrations are over birthday went good, then came Diwali, I am not sure what words to use to describe the fun or good time , so I will do the next best I can do, Put some pictures, I had a couple of videos taken but they are too big to be put here, hence just some pictures.
Some of the Pictures are also an after thought as you can see, When we were eating or having a bit of fun, No one remembered to take the pics.
Me and My Random Thoughts 
WOW – those pictures suggests to me that went out on a full bash – do you remember any of it? Congratulations on all rounds
