Deepalulea (18 Oct)

This one one fun night. As Vishnu said in the Facebook album, there is no need for alcohol, just have good food and great people and it is all set. Vishnu's mother had sent him some ingredients and had hand written all the recipes for him. So the amazing boy spent all day in the kitchen, cooking briyani, spicy soya sauce prawns, chicken curry and raita! It tasted stupendous.



He had also invited close to 30 people so the house was really packed. Where else will you find Scottish, Finish, Brazilian, Spanish, Polish, French, Singaporean, Australian, Puerto Rican, German and Swedish people celebrating Deepavali together?! I decided to wear my punjabi suit and add a bit more 'Indian' to the mix.


It was really cool also because almost all the guests brought desserts along so after the main meal we had a huge array of desserts to try. I'm tell you guys, this bunch of exchange students all have a culinary gift. My kulfi paled in comparison to a lot of the stuff on the table :p

The eating began at 7pm and went on till about 11pm. Then after helping to clean up, we rounded off the night just sitting around and talking, and finally by singing along to songs on someone's karaoke software in their laptop. Best party I've been to so far in Lulea, and the most wholesome one too.
