Locomotoring

Last few weeks have been activity filled. Between the midterm elections, Halloween and Diwali all on top of each other, my brain has been bouncing all over. This Halloween attracted more kids than ever before, young ones too, reflecting the shifting demographics of our neighborhood. We have turned the public parts of the house a bit upside down – trying out a new living arrangement and hosting friends and family during the season felt different. I also learnt about “Bhoot Chaturdashi” (link), a festival like the Day of the Deads, that coincides with the night before Diwali. I am squirreling away the idea of fourteen lamps and fourteen greens for next year.
